The birds are doing very well and I pray it continues that way. They are 4weeks 4days old today with an average weight of 1.6kg
Highest weight= 1.8kg
Least weight=1.4kg
Hope am still on the right track folks?

Nice one bro, though you need to up your feeding because Agrited AA+, if well managed can attain a market weight of over 2.5 in less than six weeks from d.o.c
Good work all the same and good luck sir

Interesting read.
This isn't the best of startups but your birds did survive and indeed survived well. It's a miracle not to have had any mortality.

Good work Oga mi.

kennethfranc:


I remain loyal boss
What should have been the average weight @5weeks?

jidestroud:
At 6weeks, we suppose don dey put some for pot o!

IamAsiri:


Please, is it healthy to eat chickens of less than 3 months? Just asking as a confused person on this topic

jidestroud:

Abi make I drop skills of how to prepare the meat? (Dem no dey boil am ooo... )

jidestroud:
Lol
On a serious note, I can't remember raising my broilers beyond 8weeks. It's usually 6 to 8 weeks for me (feeding aggressively)

IamAsiri:


Abeg please do the dropping abeg . I don't know how to cook such soft meat . To me, it's not usually sweet

jidestroud:

Hmmm... Na to practicalize am with one oooo.
Let's see. Before the week runs out I go select one from my stock use do the tutorials . Thread loading...

IamAsiri:


Lol. Okay sir. But I can only agree with you if I taste the meat

jidestroud:


You no dey chop chicken for fast foods? Those ones no dey reach 6weeks sef. Hahahahahahaha

jidestroud:
Abeg make we no derail this beautiful thread.

Note: 6 weeks broilers are good to go.

jidestroud:

Lol
Like someone rightly pointed out, 1.8 - 2.2kg on average is achievable. By the way, pls do work on their feeding trough. You are wasting too much feed.

kennethfranc:

Thanks for this eye opening...I will give it a shot


But these chicks sabi chop ooo.... 1bag hardly lasts for 4days while they are just few days to 5weeks

chukskafor:
Baba dem de boil am, no water added and on low heat, after which you grill or fry.... ur choice; the only thing be say steering /turning is not allowed when cooking and the cooking don moderately....... no ask me weda na caterer I be ooo, � � �

chukskafor:
Na so the matter de be; no stingy on top their feeding matter and them no go stingy follow you for their growth and weight gain.

NB: make sure to provide calcium supplement drugs from vet shop for them to help the legs in order to stand the rapid weight gain, give tetracycline capsule and metronidazole in drinking water as that will help them to control their poo from being too watery and making the pen untidy, thus leading to the birds' poo sticking to their breast, as AA+ are known to posses heavy breast muscle and most times, walks with their chest down, acting as a support device

IamAsiri:


Ehn ehn . And look at me oh, always buying broiler parent brooders because they are already mature

kennethfranc:

Thanks boss.... I really appreciate

Emmaco:
Nice one bro couldn't hit that mark on my present batch. @ 4 weeks average weight was a little shy above 1kg. When you scale your birds matter for adequate results. I always scale mine in d mornings just before giving them chow that way, I get their ideal weight. You should apply same going forward.
