Happy New Year Guys!
May this year bear much good fruit for us all.

What is a fulani goloba chicken?
Pictures please, Google aint doing justice.

I've been looking for that breed for about 2 years now and all I've come across aren't the real Fulani/Goloba breed

maxitomxane any update?

Yes Boss, After laying 24 eggs, the hen started incubating yesterday evening.
She dropped the last egg day before Yesterday.
Noilers can go broody!

Factors to encourage them to go broody

1) Encourage foraging as early as 8 - 12 weeks.

2) Don't lock them up in a cage for long hours, let them have access to sunlight and a natural environment

3)Buy a minimum of a pair, chickens are social creatures, being alone will not make them so lively.

4)When you notice the hen has reached 4 - 5 months , watch out for the egg-song, where she lays her first egg,she would likely lay the rest.

You wouldn't want her to lay the eggs where you won't be able to have access to.

5) Supplement their feed with commercial feed, it'll make them come out better.

6)Be patient with your Noiler when she begins to lay, i thought once she begins to lay,she starts incubation. I was wrong , a chicken only starts incubation when she lays the last egg - thanks to my Dad for explaining stuff to me .
Even layers have a break.

7)You may also decide to feed your Noiler with layer feed to supplement calcium in her body for eggs with well formed shells.

If that picture is anything to go by, I can confirm to you that those are not Fulani chicken. They're usually very tall and big. You'd notice their unusual hight and body mas. Although not in anyway or form as massive as boilers but they compete well with slightly above average sized Kroiler birds.

Their main advantage over Kroiler or noiler is their decease resistance just like our normal locals.

Wow, i thought these were fulani hens, being in ilorin ...
So a fulani chicken is as tall as a kuroiler, that's nice!
Well, almost all their animals are tall here, their local dogs and goats are quite tall too.

You just wanna those eggs.

My noiler once laid 22 eggs and I allowed her sit on all.
.
.
Bottom line, she hatched only 7.
.
.
Next time, if you don't wanna use the incubator, take some out for eating

yes they do, but their mothering skill is next to zero.

If you can get a local fowl to do the job for you, BETTER ==>

Hey guys, Hope you've all been good?
I've been so busy with schoolwork i completely forgot about this thread ...
Well, my Noiler went broody and sat on the eggs for about two weeks before my sister found it abruptly stopped sitting on them.
The Noiler was later killed after 2 days because it was not so active again, due to reasons unknown...
I believe it was either the cold weather(Harmattan) at night or Loneliness, as chickens are social creatures.

In short, the eggs developed a blood ring, I candled them...
I have decided to get more noilers this year and the Fulani chicken called Adiye Gaa from ilorin.

Thanks to all my bosses for engaging this thread.

Unfortunately, I wasn't around to taste it.

Chai, all the best man
