This article is quite lengthy but it’s worth it. Have you ever wondered why farmers raise broilers and why everyone wants broilers for consumption?, this is because they grow so fast and achieve the desired weight in less than 6 weeks and they are ready to be slaughtered.

Consumers have driven farmers to the edge and all farmers are in the game of getting as much weight and size of chicken in very little period of time.

To get this weight and size Farmers are spending so much on Multivitamins, antibiotics, formulated feeds while trying to contain diseases by having sleepless nights, even amidst these practices, several boilers drop dead.

Have you ever heard of the term “withdrawal period” on drugs from the vet store?, “Withdrawal period refers to the minimum period of time from administering the last dose of medication and the production (slaughtering) of birds. A lot of consumers now know this and this makes them frown at the consumption of boilers, most consumers now ask for noilers cause they believe there’s less drugs administered.

Please understand that I’m not condemning broilers farmers, I’m just trying to state that as farmers or intending farmers, You can attain 2.5 to 3kg of chicken weight without stress, 24 hours supervision, staffs and extra hand, buying so much formulated feed, drugs etc


Nigerians frown at our local (indigenous chicken) because of the size, cause it doesn’t look like broilers, cause they don’t command respect like broilers. I’ll state just 12 of the uncountable advantages of our local chickens over broilers and other foreign genetically made birds;

1. feeding (formulated feeds) is completely ruled out when rearing local chickens. Nevertheless, you can attain as much as 2.5kg or even more from breeding local chickens with some little tricks


2. Cost of buying DOC ( day old chicks) between the prices of 250 - 500 is ruled out, All you need to start up rearing local chickens is 15 to 20 hens. In few months, the only problem you will be having is space to contain their number. You could have as much as 100 chicks if you start with good breeder local chickens.

3. Our indigenous (local chickens) are perfect incubators for hatching turkey, guinea fowl, ducks eggs as long as you have good breeder hens, Our hens have been raised and trained to lay, incubate and hatch eggs all year round.
