Journey Of A Poultry Farmer Who Raised 500 Pullets From OCTOBER TILL MAY by samae(m): 6:34pm On Oct 27, 2022
Journey of a poultry farmer who raised 500 pullets from start to finish from October to May.

poultry farming journey started early January of 2020 no single knowledge of poultry farming.

At October, the pen was 80% ready. The two rooms opposite each other are the brooding rooms.
By December, the cages were being installed....

By January, the 1st batch of 500 arrived.
had 4 casualties in the 1st week, the professional that was visiting the farm attributed it to cold.

Next casualties were out of carelessness, we lost 9 when trying to vaccinateIf you are raising layers please treat them against coccidiosis very well.

At WEEK 19, we got our 1st egg and it did not come from the ones that were weighing 1.5kg and over, it came from the ones weighing 1.3-1.4kg

WEEK 20, bird count is 402 and we are getting 4 eggs/day,Cost so far for raising 500birds is about 1.5 million in total from day 1 till 20th week (IN 2021).

Building cost + cages plus + Security and water supply + Management and store house + brooding house is over 4 million with the fencing of the pen

Average consumption of the 402 birds at week 20 is 1½ bags per day and ie. 37.5kg.
1 bird will consume 37.5/402 = 0.0933kg = 93.3g
