If you are not ready to hire an animal health specialist do not go into poultry farming. Goat sheep and cattle are better, they only need periodic vaccination and Injection.
I made online research on control of maize stem borer, I got to know you can use carbonfuran (canfur) grinded into granules. Insecticide like cypeforce is also effective. do away with snipper its harmful to plant leaf

Animal care sells one. I will advise to use the automatic debeaking machine. Animal, agrited or leading vet stores.

When The Litter Is Wet Or Very Sticky To Touch.Also,When You Perceive Ammonia Odour.U Should Use Rake/garden Fork To Always Turn The Sawdust Over.

thanks.
1. Assuming u have like 200 birds and all r laying daily(which is not possible) u shd b expecting like 6 and half crates. But if u r seeing 3 crates daily that is like a little above 50%

2. it takes approximately 24hrs for a bird to complete an egg production sir.


does the weight matter before they lay? no one wants to answer me. mine are heading towards 5months. I haven't seen any Egg o, any idea as to what they should weigh by now?
