Soooo, true guys, there are bunch of things that can make your birds die, it is about reducing the rate, I just lost over 20 from my day old few days ago from heat stress, my concussion couldn't save them, So start small and try everything you can think of, and you will come up with something.

Oga Fnk, thank you so very much, I got the document..........The info contained therein is helpful........God bless you. Amen

You can introduce the nests now and open nests are better. Ensure you pick the eggs regularly to avoid dirts and pecking.

Don't use materials that can absorb heat use materials that can dissipate heat or a poor conductor of heat.

Re: Starting A Poultry Farm (a Blog) by Eggcelent(m): 12:13pm On Jan 29, 2015
Perpetual459. I suspect your flock has contracted Newcastle Disease. However, before jumping into conclusions, can you tell us more about other symptoms being shown; laying performance, size of eggs, colour of eggs, appetite, etc?

Re: Starting A Poultry Farm (a Blog) by Eggcelent(m): 2:18pm On Jan 29, 2015
Ok. It should be Newcastle Disease then. Place them on some mild antibiotics. Leave a gap of 3 - 5 days after the dosage is completed. Then, give them Lasota. Success.

There are no hard and fast rules. See my comments below


Hello Laposta and everyone. I need some clarification on No 3; the optimal spacing between two pens. Was the poster referring to the spacing between the side walls of two pens or the spacing between the end walls? I am inclined to say it is the former.

Generally speaking, the spacing between two pens should be at least twice the width of the first pen so as to allow good, fresh, and cross ventilation. Of course, the width of open sided houses should not be more than 30ft; 25ft width with two cage rows is in order.

I hope this helps someone.

Watery/whitish poo is a sign of coccidiasis. Very dangerous a disease it is. Treat for coccidiasis as soon as possible.
