I must really commend the OP for his valued response and sincerity. Your response are invaluable.
Please I would really appreciate it if you can put me through thoroughly, as I am about to start mine in few weeks time. I am inexperienced for now when it comes to poultry farming.
I want to go into rearing of broilers, I would need reply on the following:
1. What will I use as disinfectant in the farm, and how will I apply them.
2. I would be keeping the birds from August to Xmas as I plan selling it off then, is there any risk as regards that?
I mean health wise on the birds, as well as the market.
3. Based on the fact I am targeting Xmas, should I hold on for now, because of the feed cost of the birds? Although I was told people love matured birds by Xmas for consumption. Please how do I manage that?
Although I plan starting with 20 birds for now for pivot study, I plan buying 2 weeks old broilers to avoid mortality.
Thank you very much. I am open to learning from other experienced farmers as well.
Regards.

Lovely teaching. Thank you youngext for this quality thread.

You can use polidine, hypo or izal to disinfect your farm

There is no risk in keeping them for as long as you wish, how ever you should know that the longer you keep them, the more thy eat into your proposed profit, it won't do much to their health by keeping them longer as far as you treat every illness as they arise

You can keep your birds as long as you want provided you have the cash, but if you are after profit, no matter that season, dont keep your birds more than 9 weeks because even 6 weeks is enough for your birds to mature. It's only you who is raising them that knows their true age.

That you buy 2weeks birds (already brooded) is not a guarantee that you won't encounter mortalities, the survivability of your birds is totally dependent on the level of care provided by you.

My brother, if you value your investment and if you know you want peace of mind, I advice you stay away from obj marshals and chikun birds for now, you might not have the stomach to bear the brunt of what the chicks might do to you.

We were able to salvage what we could, because we were armed and ready for what ever challenge brought to us, but for a first timer or an amateur in the game, I will advice against it.

IF you want to stock, go for Chi Abor Acre plus birds, or Agrited Ross308 for your desired peace of mind.

How are your birds doing?

They're doing very well at 5 weeks and 5days
Without any vaccine or synthetic medications.
Weighting an average of 2.2kg
Organic is way to go!

Thanks for this wonderful thread of yours, it is truly inspiring.
I have been hearing of this organic method for some time but I have been skeptical
Please, I will like to know the cost of raising a bird with organic method compares with synthetic.
Once again, thanks for this grate thread and more power to your elbow

It wasn't all good bro,
Do you know what it means to combat CRD for six weeks?
With it going off and coming back at will?

Well, if you have the money to keep getting drugs, you can go for it, other wise, look for other good birds.

No much difference, just that you'd only be spending on buying the DOC and feeding them, nothing more.
No spending on medications and vaccines, and it will make their meat taste better.

Wow, that would really offset money spent on the medications.
I was hoping you would give a figure, 'cause you said in your previous posts, that the cost of raising per chick under synthetic method was #930, I was thinking you would give a specific amount on that of organic
Thanks once again, you are very knowledgeable

I'm afraid, you haven't sir.
I will ask again, you said the cost of raising a bird through artificial method is #930, I will like to know the cost of raising a bird through organic method?

Hi, been following your tread from start, honestly you inspired me to stock OBJ Marshall, I mean this guys blew my mind... at 2weeks and 5days they are weighing 1.1kg... and no issues so far... mortality is about 0.6%... with all bio-security in place.. I think you exposed your birds to CRD by not providing proper ventilation for them at the right time... have over a thousand of them and they are doing good...when next I’m stocking I think I will stoc OBJ Marshall again.
