Nbg4real: Hello! Welldone all. Pls can any one help pls? My birds are exactly 20weeks today, they started laying 8dayz ago but up to now only 1egg per day i have 350 pullets (black) pls what will i do?

Nothing to worry about,they will all pick gradually .What it means is that those once that are laying are already matured at 2kg.You need to keep feeding and given adequate water to your birds.Give them extra 2wks many will join the race . you will be happy in the end.

cheers

Bros, like obnelly said they will still lay there is nothing to worry about. CHI is a good farm, ur birds will perform and if they fail to then there is sometin wrong.

You can contact Omotiti for POL, he bought 500 POL from animal care and his birds are doing well. Wish u well bro

Nbg4real: @ jamp thank you 4 d concern. I bought them as doc from CHI on 28 june 2013. I did all d necessary vaccination up to 19th week. My worry is that why only 1 egg for over a week? If you look at them physically more than half are fully matred. Should i start giving them layer feed? Or i should wait for all to look matured physicall[color=#990000][/color]y.

Dont give them layers mash now. You will spoil the whole matter. Just wait. they will all pick .

Am about to start broiler productions by next year and I discovered the only issue with d broiler is processing which am ready to go into in a small scale. I am on the net wanting to know how to process it and it is quiet interesting.

I promise to furnish the house as soon as I starts the processing. Thanks

THE GREEN OIL WELL-Jatropha (Biofuel)
This is new in Nigeria & u can make a lot of money just by being a biofuel farmer. We at eesteeresources have Jatroha plantation, as i speak we set up farm for investors & buy back the seeds after 6 months of planting the 2 months old seedlings , we sell hybrid seedling @ N40 per stand,As a member of our farmers club, we write feasibility study on agric biz, send news letter, we help to rent private/ govt land@ less than N2,500 per acre we have 300 acres of arable land in the west for lease & some for sale to interested investors who are member of our farmer’s club-registration fee is N3,500 . Presently MTN uses biofuel to run their base stations all over the country, In this business there is no waste because both oil & shaft is marketable besides there are people who plant & use the biofuel to run their generator in Oyo state more so we have foreigners waiting to buy the cake. Jatropha plant seeds for up to 50 years & seed is ready for harvest when the plant is 8 months old , Jatropha seed cake can be mixed with energy sources such as maize to compound livestock feeds, and it is relatively cheap. The juice from the leaves can be used in the treatment and prevention of many ailments. The stem can be cut and used as a chewing stick to cure bleeding gums, smelling mouth and so on. Toothpaste can be produced from it. Presently in Nigeria ceiling board is produced from Jatropha, better than asbestos, they are environmentally friendly, very cheap and affordable
“Charcoal for bleaching palm oil for the production of oil used in the making of soaps and insecticides has been produced from Jatropha. The oil is not yet used for human consumption, but it can be used in the production of pesticides.
“Jatropha is a solution provider to the problem of climate change. One plant of Jatropha absorbs about 20 kilograms of carbon dioxide per year.If you want to know more buy our comprehensive jatropha proposal- 25k
1. As I speak the house has done the first reading of a bill to include Jatropha biofuel into our petrol (10-20)%. interested persons should please call Gbenga on 08182355047 or 08136650972 (9am to11pm-Monday to Saturday ,1pm to 11pm- Sunday) for more details- We are also into plantain, pineapple, palm tree, rubber ,moringa ,maize, cassava, vegetable ,melon ,watermelon ,cabbage plantation farm , you can also buy all kinds of seedlings from us. We also have quail, glasscutter, rabbit ,snail, ostrich ,Flightless-guinea fowl , imported turkey
2. Nigeria has no business importing food at all. We have everything; God has blessed this country. We have land, cheap labour, we have great sunshine and we have population to eat what we produce. Nigeria should not be importing food; Nigeria should be self-sufficient and should be a net exporting country for food

3. We also build incubators that use Jatrophat as fuel , infact we convert room to incubator. If you are a serious investor please call Gbenga on 08182355047 or 08136650972 (9am to 11pm-Monday to Saturday ,1pm to 11pm- Sunday)– Eesteeresources-agriculture-based entrepreneur.

@Nbg4real.....Welldone so far.Pls be patient with ur birds and feed them more.They will pick up. As per POL,it is usually a faster and easier way to go for newbies .Yes,you can get POL frm Animal Care .I bought mine at N1000 per POL and I called them two weeks ago and they said next booking is around Jan and the birds would be ready in May,2014. So I advise that you start the process of booking for ur birds now.The performance of my birds has been very good,doing well above 85% daily and they started laying at week18,5days and I purchased them at 16weeks.
Wish you all d best my dear.

@Gocci....

Local cages now come with nipple drinkers that are connected to a central tank that supply water to all the cells of the cages. Thess kind of cages make poultry farming easy and interesting.It is d way to go my brother.

@omtititi thank you very much. Pls which feed are you giving to ur birds?
Re: Starting A Poultry Farm (a Blog) by omotititi: 5:24pm On Nov 20, 2013

Re: Starting A Poultry Farm (a Blog) by fnk: 8:24pm On Nov 20, 2013
omotititi: topfeed
Does anyone know about another feed that is equally as good as topfeed? Topfeed seems to be all we recommend.
Re: Starting A Poultry Farm (a Blog) by Shorbeeb: 10:06pm On Nov 20, 2013
If you interested in raising birds for egg production and you are not experienced, it might be safe for you to start with POL instead of DOC to minimize risk of mortality. With time, you can experiment with DOC. Presently, I have raised 1000 birds to POL - 16 weeks old, but the cages on ground can only take 900 birds, if any one is interested in POL, call 08053928069. The location is Ibadan.
