Redomi:
fast treatment of fowl pox

I will buy & try. The method i use takes time & cost me money.

Redomi:
1. White from the frizzle mother too, but not frizzle like other, it is somehow sizzle feather
2. Frizzle mother layed her eggs too, but it was crossed by a local roster,I don't know why the colour is black cos the roster that cross her is not white.
3. Egg layers, one of the baby from the frizzle
4. Eggs layed so far, all fertile eggs, I don chop two from the eggs

What do you do with the penicillin.?

Redomi:
She was hatched December 13th, she hatched her first clutch on July 24th. Thank you guys, waiting for the other two to hatch

Congrats man. Good job!

Mariangeles:
I don't think so. Just on a small scale level and sold as a refreshing drink.
Why I respect them is 'cause they grow most of the foods we eat in Nigeria.

Nigerians are hardly innovative, but they're good at stealing and perfecting other's ideas.

There was one groundnut product that was made in Ghana, it was so simple, I wondered why no one ever thought of that idea. (It's like groundnut chinchin)
The product was brought to Nigeria and people loved it so much and were buying it.

Prior to then, Nigerians only just basically roasted and poorly packed their groundnuts in empty old bottles or nylons, but when they saw that that product was selling out fast, they started producing it in Nigeria and selling some at a cheaper price to compete with the one from Ghana.

Ghana has substantial Hausa speakers having same/similar culture with the northerners.

There is a groundnut product here called Kantun Ghana, named after Ghana apparently. I can't tell if it originates from there. But northerners customarily attributes/credits the sources/bearers. Like Dan Anacha, a yam specie they got from Onitsha, hence the name Dan (son of/from) Anacha (Onitsha).

Attached are some groundnut products very common in the north. All have existed for eons.

1 - Kantun Ghana
2 - Kaukau/Badda Kobo/Hallaka Kobo
3 - Garnet
4 - Mitmis

There is also crunchy Kulikuli, Pinot cincin (homemade burgers peanut snack), steamed-dried shelled groundnut e.t.c

1 Months old today.

Week 3 update.

The chicks were separated from the mother.

All 9 are doing great

Week 2 update

The oldest 5 are 2 weeks old.

The youngest is 6 days old.

All 9 and the mother are doing well.

Redomi:
you mean another mother?

No, 1 mother hatches 10 poults (1 died)

oz4real83:
Guy u dey make me jealous ooo

Quickly buy some and raise your own. They're as prolific as local chickens.

balogwink:
Nice1 bro.
Pls I need one female and one male of either 5-10wks.

Sorry. I am not selling.

Redomi:
Waooo, I love this. They are beautiful

Another hatches today. They're 9 now.

2 more hatched. 1 died.

I have 8 now. Today is 1 week after first hatch.

Redomi:
waooo, congrats bro. Mine is still at the laying stage. 10 eggs so far, I mistakenly stepped on 1 and broke it, 9 eggs remaining

Thanks. You're doing great with your turkeys too, keep it up.

2 more have hatched. They're 7 now.

5 unhatched eggs left.

New hatchlings update

5 poults hatches yesterday. They're over a week early.

I am hoping more will hatch from the 7 remaining eggs.

Update

I have released the 7 poults from last hatch to join other turkeys outside today. They're 2 months 3 weeks old.

They integrate well with the older turkeys (parents & 3 senior siblings), no injuries or serious threat so far.

There is a Mom sitting on 14 eggs since last week, I am expecting new hatchlings soon.

I separated the 7 chicks from their mothers today.

4 of them are 2 weeks old, 3 are 2 weeks 5 days.

moneylam:
Heya.. He pain me sha. Bt Dnt you tink turkey can survive the journey ?

It takes days to get/take anything to/from Lagos from here. It is tough business/risk.

More hatchlings update.

The other turkey hatches four. 2 turkey hens hatches just 7 eggs this time.

They brood in a new place and got disrupted midway.

One developing egg was broken, 3 eggs got missing. The male turkey crack out a poult (died later) out of an egg, in some mornings he will chase them from the nest or lead other grown turkeys there to make loud weird noises.

moneylam:
That turkey is a good mother. Pls I dnt mind if you can sell some of the new hatch to me.

I like that generation that hatch �

I fit dash you sef, but your Lagos is too far from my North east.

New hatchlings today.

Three poults were hatched so far. My 4 month turkeys have younger siblings.

Redomi:
Waooo, both parents have die here, i pray these ones grow up

Eyya! Pele o.

Redomi:
Mine are 8 weeks old now

Great. You're gradually getting set for big turkey business. Wish you success for your breeding plan.

The mothers of my poults are laying again, 15 eggs so far.

Week 12 update.

They got taller & bigger, more tail feathers and head turned red.

I plan to let them out in the morning today but the weather is too cold. They will free range henceforth.

Week 8 update

At 2 months they consumed total of 12 mudus of starter feed.

moneylam:
Nice work u'r doing. You will really have many of them by end of the year. I also wish I can see healthy ones to buy.

Thanks, I hope to have as many as possible. Adult turkeys are health wise usually strong, they're less susceptible to common poultry diseases.

You can raise day olds too if you have raised broilers before.

Redomi:
, oh thank you sir, I bought 6 more from one woman here, they are 7 months old, but not as big as mine that is 3 weeks old today I bought the 6 for 10k, hoping they will grow with intensive feeding

Young turkeys dont grow well if given non standard feed.

In attached photo the biggest turkey is 6 weeks old. Second biggest is 6 weeks 3 days old, the smaller ones are 5 weeks old.

The biggest is fed starter feed all through while the rest are free ranged - look at the size difference.

See complete video: youtube.com/ watch?v=53ZSTTCQd-0

Let's hope for their fast pace growth on the feed you give the 3 weeks olds .

Redomi:
Weldone sir, they've grow so big

Thanks. Yours are growing well too, good job.

Week 6 update

Chicks doing great.

VickyRotex:
Love the back to back updates.

They look really cute! Great job! I pray you continue to get the time and resources to care for them.

Thank you so much for the prayer. Extend my regards to the chicken & turkey loving mum.

Redomi:
Waooo, I love this thread and I would love to join the train.
My turkey lay 14 eggs, first week on her brooding the eggs, I removed 4 eggs that are not fertile and I left 10 fertile eggs for her.
She hatched 9, one couldn't hatched because she doesn't have the upper beak to open the egg shell, I saw that when I examined what could lead to her death.
They are one week old on Wednesday.
They were hatched on Wednesday 15th December 2021, so I bought one carton of noiler chicks, I separated them from the mother on the third day when the noiler arrived. Chai, both mother and chicks noise filled the whole compind throughout the whole day.
But they are all good now, the mother should start laying by February. I plan to leave all the 9 poult and sell the boilers at 4-5 weeks old.
I want to keep the turkey for breeding.
If one can manage to raise them, and you have like 10 females that are laying and hatching, you are ok, 6 weeks turkey will be sold between #2500-#3000, do the calculation and see how much million you will make on 20 female turkey in a year. They will lay at least thrice a year

Welcome aboard!

I had a turkey that hatches 9 out of 12. All 9 survives to maturity.

Pic 1: Day 1
Pic 2: 3 months 3 weeks
Pic 3: 8 months plus with their babies.

I kept three, 1 tom & two hens. Their chicks have all shades of colors, some like grandma from Pic 1.

ndigbo:
Boss, please, can you confirm your turkey breed ( Local or agric) ?

Local breed.
