Thank sir for the offer of help, I will reach out.

The cockerels have been acquired and fully integrated into the brooding room.

Their tiny legs no be here, with what's been said about them, na only pity dey make me still leave dem for my brooder and feeding them with chicken feed instead of chaff.

Nearly burnt my birds trying to keep them warm embarassed but thankfully they're all fine.

The broilers have clocked one week and are still 100% intact.

In all we have 102 birds in our brooder.

Stressful but fun-filled still.

The three weeks old birds are receiving less attention now but currently weigh approximately 1 kg.

I no sell again, I have about 10 left and people still think it is expensive @ 900 naira after all my efforts, thank goodness I never raised them with the intention to sell, now I'm going to watch them grow for my personal delight and consumption.

It was temporary. I mostly use coal and electricity, though epileptic.

@ 3 weeks plus

Re: My Poultry Diary by mcdokwe(m): 3:52pm On Sep 19, 2020
The first batch @ 5 weeks plus. I'm just tempted to "off the neck" of one to see if it really tastes like chicken.

2nd batch is 19 days old. Selling would commence on Monday @ weeks.

Lost 4, felt really bad because the were lost in their second week. I thought that having survived the first week without mortalities, that we were good to go.
It taught me that though wood shavings are good liters to use, carton serves better so their stools can be easily monitored for signs of diseases.

Still learning, we move.

26 gone...

Re: My Poultry Diary by mcdokwe(m): 8:22am On Sep 28, 2020
Been very occupied lately, however all but 2 birds I chose to reserve from the 2 batch of broilers have been cleared.

An order was placed for 2 cartons, but only one was delivered, we're hoping to pick the rest tomorrow and integrate them to the farm.

I sourced my birds for protein yesterday and it was an emotional moment for me but sha that's why they were raised and I'm happier for the effort.

Wood shavings is better. Cartons will make the floor wet and that means diseases. The ones that died, what were the symptoms?

I guess I have to start keeping records as I don't really know the total cost of feed for the birds. I now have birds of different age and I feed them from a single source.
