From experience,hygiene is a Top notch in poultry farming and prevents lots of poultry diseases.
Herbs ranging from Tagiri, Cayenne pepper will take care of NCD.

I start giving my birds herbs from Day one till slaughter and also at different days water only.

Thank you for your words of appreciation.

What in particular do you want to buy?

The Birds eats their regular feed. During brooding, I use Rice husk underneath the newspaper for some days. Then later I stop the newspaper and spread wood shaving. I don't use saw dust(my choice)

Have a look at the picture,i have placed the birds drinkers and feeders

Re: My Organic Poultry Farming by SwitBEsther: 4:49pm On May 11, 2020
Some Common mistakes to avoid before starting Organic Poultry farming

* Ensure you get the right knowledge.Very imperative in order to avoid story that touch.I remember before i ventured into my organic poultry farming,i read a lot of information about the business,i join so many organic groups and i also did paid training. I kept reading also on the net in order to be abreast of any challenges that might come up.Before venturing into poultry business seek the right knowledge

*Housing Birds in an unhygienic environment,this singe act can be very detrimental to the health of the birds and after the success of your business. Dirty environment can lead to many health issues such as respiratory problems, mite/lice infestations and a host of other health issues and diseases.

*Not noticing a Sick Bird in time.You need to be very observant.Birds needs to be checked daily.You need to take note of color of the birds poo,feeding habit,activeness etc

*Having Overcrowded housing for birds.Overcrowding can lead to stress, cannibalism, feather pecking, and other issues.
