The next phase of the construction is the flooring and laying of two coaches of blocks around the pen.
I want to construct in such a way that it will just be one coach of block above the foundation to allow fresh air get in touch with the birds.
The work will start by Monday by God's grace, the bricklayer was on farm last week and gave d ffg quotations;
Gravel - 4 tipper loads
sand - 1 tipper load
Cement - 40 bags
Blocks 6" - 350 pcs

You have taken a giant stride in the right direction. I pray God to see you through. Amen. I have a question brother. What actually is the theory behind the construction of a poultry house? What and what should one consider when building a pen?

Good job sir, may God continue to bless you. Though i am opening this thread for the first time and i sighted this quoted post. Are you saying you spent 1.5 million to construct a mere 1000 capacity pen?

Please clarify this because i noticed a lot of people/novice here might be using this thread/information as a guild.

Wrong move bro, Those two require some distance away from the pen. For the sake of biosecurity in poultry management...

lol, the guy you quoted was actually giving the best advice. The wall will simply be raise higher or cover up. A lot of big farms are using this method.

Bring out your pen and do the calculations yourself. Get a carpenter to give you estimate on number of planks and the prices, number of roofing sheets to use, the netting and don't forget the workmanship! Get a bricklayer to give you how many blocks you'll need, tips of sand and number of bags of cement and his workmanship.
When you get those, then come back and scream 1.5

To be sincere with you, I've spent well over a million on construction. To be on the safe side, it will be wise to have your cash in excess than to be stucked half way

Op you took a bold step in the right direction. The weight of your birds are impressive going by their age. I presume you are already an experienced farmer judging by the farm management practices. Has there been mortality?

I see that you are using camp stove/gas as a heat source while brooding. Please how cost effective is this method compared with using charcoal in earthen pots?

Experience is like wealth, it can never be enough. You acquire more everyday as you practice.
I've had my fair share of the negative side to. Had up to 25 mortalities out of 550!
Persistence is the key bro
