seun70: Hi all,
I have finally decided to embark on this poultry farming business after reading/watching/researching for about two years.

I would not mind any suggestion from the experienced poultry farmers on nairaland. Although, I have three plots of land (just bought somewhere in Otta) I intend to use. This does not mean I am a fan of 'hot-water' syndrome. I only intend to start with 1000 layers.
Clearing of the site was done today and construction of the fence would (by God's grace) commence tomorrow.

Suggestions, suggestions, suggestions would be appreciated.

NOTE: I am spending 1.5m on fencing.

Thanks in advance guys........

seun70: Hi all,
Fencing completed. Would anyone please recommend a very good and competent consultant?
I need to start constructing but I was told by a friend that I need to lay emphasis on sun-rise and sun-set points.

I am trying to get it right from the start.

Over to you good nairalanders......

makinde3:

Do you spent 1.5m on fencing the three plots of land, or more?

Egomah: Interesting epistle, this should be documented I'm very impressed. At some point in my life I would venture into this poultry farming and other live stock farming too.
I want τ̲̅ø̲̣ ask, what can be done with these birds droppings? Its there a̶̲̥̅̊ way they can be recircled and turned τ̲̅ø̲̣ feed, say for fish? Or maybe used as manor for crops?

iamablackman: @fnk pls send docs to maniliman@yahoo.com. if anyone has recvd it pls do send. cheers.

davidzfarm: THANK GOD YOU ARE BACK.(BASKING4ME), UR LONG ABSENCE WAS QUITE WORRISOME FOR SOME OF US WHO TOOK AFTER UR LEAD IN POULTRY FARMING.GOOD TO HEAR THAT YOUR RETURNS ARE QUITE HIGH DESPITE THE MORTALITIES. THE INTERNET HAS REALLY ASSISTED ME WITH MY BUSINESS AND WITHIN A NINE MONTH PERIOD, MY BIRDS HAVE INCREASED FROM 100 TO ALMOST 400. I'LL BE WILLING TO SHARE MY EXPERIENCED IN THE AREA OF FEED MILLING WHICH CAN REDUCE UR COST OF PRODUCTION TO ABOUT 30%.

Abbey4life: Hi Basking, you are really doing well and I must say am proud of you. You did not just establish a business but you went ahead sharing your success story to we Nairalaners you are a worthy ambassador to this noble course. I however would like to be reading more of the challenges, you face while raising your birds to minimize mortality as well as what was done to curtail it, with this we upcoming business minded people would guide against it. Am happy dat in 10 weeks from now the 1st set would start yielding their purpose of investment. When are you especting to push the broilers to market? (As in what's d full matured size and weeks for christmas-like fowls. Once again welldone. May God continue to bless you. Cheers
