kaura5000: please house what is the maximum egg laying ability for layers? for example if i stock 300 birds how many of them wont be laying?it depends on so many factors. Mostly, rangign from 75% to 90% it could be sligthly higher or lower in rear cases & d production declined as they grow older. |

@jamp how far wt your birds? No responce from you! |
Re: Starting A Poultry Farm (a Blog) by jamp: 5:56pm On Jan 05, 2014 |
Nbg4real: how far jamp, what percentage & have you change to layer ration? Thanks brother, thank God the birds are picking up now. The problem they had was malnutrition due to poor debeaking. I want to advice my fellow farmers to be careful of who they get to debeak their birds. The debeaking was so bad that a flock of 1000 was eating one bag a day sometimes two bags a day for almost 3wks. To the Glory of God we are doing 8.1% now @21wks |

jamp:eyyah i have similar experience but mine was not as bad as yours. I debeak them 3days after my first egg, within 5days their eating habbit resumed normal but some1 said that was contributed d delayed i experienced so far. He advised me not to debeak in future untill after 50% production 1 Like |

Hi, nbg, long time. Op ur birds av started layin d golden eggs? Wt ma lil experience, debeakin is sumtimes done prior to d onset of the layin period bh d best time to do it is durin the growin stage. Cos it affects d productn. Once d birds hav started layin, dia are very minimal procedures to be followed...any oda view? Nbg, wc level u dey nw bro? 1 Like 2 Shares |

Amo has a very gud breed @stock(isa brown). Howeva, av seen sum farmers complainin abh dia management. A farmer very close to me lost almost all his birds in d first 4wks due to hatchery problem. Anoda farmer complain of marek disease wc cld be as a result of a vaccine failure. 4me i cant take d risk of bookin in dia farm cos i live very close to wia dia farm is located in ilora. Nbg, watsup? |
Re: Starting A Poultry Farm (a Blog) by Nbg4real: 8:01pm On Jan 05, 2014 |
steel5800:no he is a poultry farmer for over 20years. He said since i delayed till they started laying i should have allow dm to 50% cos pol is very sensitive stage that need to be stress free. |

Nbg, watsup?Am surprised at this cos I heard Amo is better than animal care cos they hv parent stock while animal care buys from CHI. Anyway people experience differs. Some might be lucky while others are not.both AMO and animal care are good Nbg, debeaking should be done before the birds starts laying.debeaking will affect the birds production. If u have ur birds in cage,debeaking can be done once. Cheers 1 Like |

Nbg4real: @ fnk hope u sell up ur birds ds festives or yet ready? Long time we din‘t hear from your bird‘s development. Happy new year, we had a lot of challenges, and I am currently not in the country, I fell sick and had to go back home in November, so my guys at the farm had challenges on what to do. They sold some though. I have high hopes for this opportunity and I will be back in the country by this weekend and I will make sure that things gets on the way to what I want to see happen. I have placed an order for the defearthering machine, when I get in, we will start building a slaughter house in the farm, my defearthering machine can defearther up to 14 birds per minute. This will help us take better advantage of our effort from day old to processed birds. So, will see how this year goes, but I am very hopeful. @nbg4real Thank you for your concern. 1 Like 1 Share |
