Not yet o. He lost one broiler yesterday.
I will try the habanero pepper. I hope that won't be too peppery.

Pepper doesn't have spicy 🔥🥵🥵 effects on birds. The pepper will dislodge the Endoparasites and free them from those respiratory worms. You can use garlic and ginger extract too

netmillionaires:

We don't experience heat here. It is very cool here. I have been here for three days and I don't experience heat except when I go outside in the sun. It is very cool inside so I will rule out the heat.

There is no overcrowding. This room is big enough to accommodate 70 to 100 births. The birds are just 20. So I will rule out overcrowding.

I observed that he is feeding them pellets which wasn't the case with the successful batch he reared last year. The pellets are too big for birds their size so I asked him to get new feeds or grind the pellets as it might get stuck in their throats.

Someone suggested looking out for gaspworms. I will recommend he breed the white ones which he was successful with last year.


I know one or two things about poultry like management, organizing, spacing, etc. My only issue is identifying illness and it's recommended treatment.

I guess you have been able to address the issues happening with your birds. For gapeworms, try making use of ground harbanero pepper into their throats or into their drinking water

Your birds are suffering from heat stress. The hot weather has serious adverse effects on them that's why you noticed intense gasping, fainting and sudden death. What you need to do:

1. Provide them with ample fresh water, great one if it's chilled
2. Don't over crowd them, consider your stocking density. E.g., don't put five birds in a place that can accommodate two
3.Place your poultry coop or their house/pen in a shade. For instance, if you have banana plants clustered around, take them there. This is because banana/plantain plants naturally produce lots of humidity, so it's always cool.
4.Don't stress them, handle them gently.
5. Incase of next time, buy breeds from reputable hatcheries that are resilient to unfavourable weather.

Who can please explain to me how to prepare yam porridge

I conducted my research too, I found out that they were developed in France in the 20th century and thus its genetic makeup and the breeds involved to produce this hybrid like you said remains a trade secret. But what else could these so called isa brown hens be if they are not the real isa brown chickens. If your assertion is true then thousands to probably millions of Nigerian poultry farmers have been scammed or deceived for believing the notion that the popular ISA brown chickens they are rearing are the genuine ISA brown chickens.

Myself already opened a thread just to ask a question here https://www.nairaland.com/7928399/how-possible-it-isa-brown-sold

Noticed most say they've got ISA-brown when in reality, they hatched whatever they intends selling to you themselves. My research on ISA-Brown shows it's a hybrid whose genetic makeUp is only known to those who invented it, hence, mating 2 isa-Brown chickens, would never produce ISA-Brown chicks.

Have spoken to a couple of dealers who claims they sell ISA-Brown, but on applying Social engineering, found out they either own their own hatcheries, or patronise another hatchery, most of which are all local and imports nothing.

So chances are, what you bought, ain't the ISA-Brown you read about.

of course, there could be other reasons for poor performance including quality of feed, how often they're fed, housing, medication, qualityy & quantity of lighting, etc.

Except one investigates, wouldn't know for sure.

My own is, I still want to understand if the so called ISA-Brown chickens in Nigeria are imported or what.

Have heard about OLAM, CHI, Obasanjo-Farms, abeg those experienced with them, how quality are Layers sold there ?

Do they really sell ISA-Broown ?

if Yes, do they IMPORT, or Hatch themseles ?

When i conducted my research too, I found out that they were developed in France in the 20th century and thus its genetic makeup and the breeds involved to produce this hybrid like you said remains a trade secret. But what else could these so called isa brown hens be if they are not the real isa brown chickens. If your assertion is true then thousands to probably millions of Nigerian poultry farmers have been scammed or deceived for believing the notion that the popular ISA brown chickens they are rearing are the genuine ISA brown chickens.

Layer hens, also known as egg-type chickens are very popular and mostly reared for their eggs. As different breeds of layers exist. With ISA brown chickens being the best breed having the capacity of producing 300 or more eggs annually if they are well catered and cared for. Nutrition is paramount for layers as a diet rich in vital nutrients can mean layers lay more fresh eggs for the hungry consumers. In an age where vaccines and synthetic antibiotics growth/egg promoters are constantly needed to increase and boost egg production, it is imperative to consider the chicken's a status and well-being and also the health status of the consumers, as recent studies and research have shown the negative and detrimental effects synthetically reared chickens and the products they produce have on people who consume them. There is a need to address these effects and also consider safe and cheaper alternatives for use by the chickens. The use of natural herbs and plants can be added into their diets to father complement the nutritional value of the conventional feeds given to them. This term is called phytogenics, and on this thread, I will be showing you a list of common plants, herbs and spices we can add into their feed and/or drinking improve productivity of layers.

1. Ginger: Ginger, being a common spice in our kitchen can also be used for increasing egg production. Rich in antioxidants, it can increase egg productivity of layer birds. Ginger in powdered form can be added and mixed with the feed.

2. Banana leaf: rich in carotene, banana leaves can be added to layers feed two boost production. Banana leaf not only increases the number of eggs laid but also makes the yolk pigments brighter and deep orange in colour.

3 Moringa leaves: Not only do moringa leaves increase egg production, it also increases growth rate and size of brilliance thanks to its high protein content.

4. Neem leaves: Popularly called Dogonyaro, neem leaves can also be used to induce early egg production in layers and increase egg production. It also makes the egg white thicker, yolk brighter and more nutritious.

5. Bitter leaves: Apart from increasing egg production, bitter leaves can also serve as a natural antibiotics for all kinds of birds and treat various ailments of chickens like coccidiosis for example.

6 Thyme leaves: A double combo; improve respiratory health of chickens and increase egg weight. Usually prepared by mixing this dry herb with their feed.

7. Lemongrass: This sweet scented grass can be added to the feed of layers which improves the feed conversion efficiency, which means more eggs are ready to be laid.

8 African basil: Also called scent leaf or efinrin in Yoruba, is an
egg laying stimulant. It not only increases egg production but it gives a deep orange colour to yolks, which entails an increase in more carotene.

9. Aloe vera: The gel of aloe vera leaves can be added to drinking water and the outer covering added to feed. Aloe vera leaves and gel boost egg production and egg weight.

10. Fennel: Fennel seeds improve egg quality and layer egg production.

11. Apple mint: Apple mint leaves also argument egg production and have the ability of cooling their body temperature during hot weather.

How To Use These Herbs
The right usage is important. Since most of these herbs have leaves that are high in nutrients; the best way of making use of them is by drying, blending or pounding and adding it in powdered form into their feed, most of the time, though some extracts can be added into their drinking water too. Making use of nature's gifts for your chickens is super inexpensive for maintaining and improving your layer's health and productivity.. Thank you

trychris:
Thanks! I'm uprooting it. How do.you identify a female in the early stage?

You don't need to uproot it, you might need it to fertilize female trees.
Female pawpaw trees doesn't produce so much flowers like this, theirs is one single big flower that becomes fruit

This is a male
Papaya plants are dioecious, that means they have separate sexes. Plant another seed and tend to it until it produces single large flowers not several ones like this one on stalks. Though you can leave this one to fertilize the upcoming female

Which questions?

When I corrected you that Jesus didn't create but God did

blueAgent:


Go and research your Bible.

You did answer my query, you didn't even know what to say.

blueAgent:


The same reason that Made God not to intervene is the same reason while Jesus did not intervene.


Jesus has always been there with God even before Adam and Eve where made.

Secondly it was Jesus who made the world and Adam and Eve

And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the World was.John 17:5

. He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.
2. For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that
are on earth , visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him .
3. And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. Colossians 1:15-17. NKJV

Did you say Jesus made the world and not God? I'm getting confused and how are we sure the "Him" Is not referring to God

blueAgent:


It's obvious you are ingnorant of who Jesus is.

Jesus has existed with God as his son,before the both created the Earth and Man.John 17:5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.

John 17:24 Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.



Jesus was and is the literal son of God,before he was born by mary.


Proverbs 8:22 The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old. 8:23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was. 8:24 When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water. 8:25 Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth: 8:26 While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world. 8:27 When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth: 8:28 When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep: 8:29 When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth: 8:30 Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him; 8:31 Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.

This is misconception

If Jesus truly was beside God before and during creation of the universe, why wasn't his name mentioned in the story about the first man and woman: Adam and Eve.
Also, a quick observation: If truly Jesus was with God before creation, why couldn't he thwart Satan's plan by informing Adam and Eve about the consequences of eating the forbidden fruit or totally cast Satan out since he would be more powerful than him

blueAgent:


Keep deceiving yourself.
Was the Jesus son of God before he came to Earth or after?

He's no son, a prophet and a Messenger sent by God to guide humanity. He was unknown before the his era and during the reign of the Roman empire. Before he came to earth, several prophets had come to guide humanity. Prophet Muhammad, was the final prophet. He received the verses of the Quran from Angel Gabriel that God sent, being the final holy book. Other contemporary priests and clergyman are just continuing the work of the Prophets; making sure people are on the right path

blueAgent:


Answer my question, what did God give us, his literal SON or an Angel he conferred sonship to?

God sent to us prophets to guide us.
God sent to us the holy books ( The Torah (Bible), the Quran, The gospel of Jesus and the Psalms of David).

When will you JW, stop twisting God's word,?

Jesus Came Forth Out of God
What I am trying to say is that Jesus is the Son of God by birth. Jesus
came forth out of God! This is not a creative act but it
is some kind of a
birthing process because the Son of God came out of God Himself. So now Jesus lives in the bosom of His Father.
1. "In that day you will ask in My name, and I do not say to you that I shall pray the Father for you;
2. "for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me, and have believed that I came forth from God .
3. " I came forth from the Father and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world and go to the Father." John 16:26-28
The phrase "came forth" is translated from the Greek word:
(" exerchomai" Strongs # 1831) which means to " issued forth " or to have " issued from". Jesus issued forth from the Father. In the next verse, "proceeded forth" also comes from the same Greek word.

The next Scripture is very interesting. In verse 41, the leaders decided to
push their point by saying that they were not illegitimate like Jesus was.
Thus they were saying Jesus was Illegitimate!
In response, Jesus expanded His message by telling them where He actually came from. So, Jesus told them that He was not illegitimate at
all. He proceeded forth from God! Christ told them: If God were their father, they would love Him because He came out of the Father, and He came from God, who sent Him into the world. Jesus was speaking very plainly, telling them where He came from, yet it
was as if they had not heard Him:
1. "You do the deeds of your father." Then they said to Him, " We were not born of fornication; we have one Father--God."
2. Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and came from God; nor have I come of Myself , but He sent Me .
3. " Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word . John 8:41-43
Jesus said He came forth from God when He was accused of being illegitimate. So it is clear that Jesus was speaking of His original birth from the Creator. Jesus is not illegitimate!
In this and the next Scripture we find that Jesus spoke of two different events. 1) He proceeded forth or He came forth from God and, 2) He came into the world (God sent Him).
The text is not just a fancy way to describe His coming to the earth twice. But rather, Jesus was saying that He proceeded forth from God and He also came from God who sent Him to the earth.
1. "Now they have known that all things which You have given Me are from You.
2. "For I have given to them the words which You have given Me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came forth from You ; and they have believed that You sent Me . John 17:7-8

So if God "birthed" Jesus, what is the status of Mary! Mary wasn't even mentioned in your sentences. So when did God become a woman, he "birthed" Jesus , is that not asexual reproduction? You are just quoting what you don't understand. Bro, I will tell you this again. Jesus is coming back again and he's going to deny all those that called him the son of God. Know that Jesus is not a superhuman but a messenger sent by God to guide man. He performed Miracles through the permission of God. And also note how he didn't die. Seek more knowledge and stop preaching falsehoods.

You selected the meanings that suit your false teachings and left the obvious meaning ,typical JW.

What did God give humanity his SON or an Angel turn son?

You are the one that is doing what you accused me of.
Just be confusing yourself there

blueAgent:


More scripture twisting by the usual suspects.

Go and check the word "come forth" before arguing blindly.

I've checked the meaning of the word come forth and the meaning is found below 👇

"To move forward and into view, to emerge, to appear".

So how does that explain God having a literal son?

blueAgent:


Who said reproducing is peculiar to only biological organisms?
And if God can create organisms that reproduce can he himself reproduce if he wants?

I was not the one that said he reproduced, God himself said.

New King James Version John 16:28
I came forth from the Father and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world and go to the Father.”

Look at the verse you quoted. Do you see any word related to reproduction? Did you see something like "I was born by the father" or Something akin to reproduction or the act of giving birth . Is it also sensible to say because God created you, he actually birthed you into this world? Can you see the contradiction everywhere. And notice the world "The father". He didn't mention "My father"; which you would think he's a biological son of God. "The father" in the verse denotes God as a supreme being, the cherisher, the Sustainer, the provider, the creator of all creations, the One,e.t.c.
You quoted a verse and you didn't even understand what you quoted. You are just trying to defend what you don't even understand so you can score a point.

blueAgent:


Pride for telling you the truth?

How do you obey the word of God?

God said he gave man his literal son out of love for Man.
But JW claims God only gave a messenger called the son of God, thus making God a liar and his love for man becomes questionable.

.

You are the one contradicting and confusing yourself. Are you telling me that God reproduced, something that is peculiar to only biological organisms. Do you believe ascribing Jesus as a literal son is a form of blasphemy? So because God loves man, that is why he sent his literal son to mankind. What about generations past, people that lived before christ ever came? That entails they are not loved by the almighty, so are you telling me that their fate resides in hell eternally? Can you see what I said earlier about you talking as if you are the one that will judge everyone. Bro, please stop defending gibberish, go out and make extensive research.

blueAgent:


You lie.

There is no evidence that you JW obey God's word.

You are not a spiritual being to tell me that JW faithfuls do not obey the word of God. I can see you will be a person filled with pride, it's seen in your utterances

blueAgent:


There is nothing to read, you deliberately twist God's word to suit your false doctrine.

Are you supposed to obey God or Man?

I should I even twist God's word, of what purpose? What would I gain from it and why would I want to do it from the first place?
And I must obey the word of the creator not man

blueAgent:


Which evidence?

You worship in a cult that deviates from God's teaching and you claim you are right.

I guess the evidence you talk about is the clear bible verses you ignore or twist to suit your lies?

I hope you know the severe punishment awaits those who add or remove from God's word?

Wow, you are calling a sect of Christianity a cult? How amazing. If you show intolerance and resentment towards a domination of Christianity how much more for Islam and other religions. Well, that asides, let get to the Bible. A certain commenter was trying to highlight several verses in such a way so that he could make you understand what you were getting wrong. He tried his best for you to not transgress to you chose to do otherwise after so much evidence was shown to you. I guess you should sit back and review some those things he was trying to make you understand, so please read his comments again so that you don't get lost and change what shouldn't have been changed

emmaodet:


Don't get you bro.
Leguminous trees like?

There are several leguminous trees that can serve as a permanent nitrogen fixing mechanism into your soul. These plants are not arable crops so they can remain on the same root stalk for more than 4 years, which means you will be getting continuous nitrogen being supplied into the soil, interrow with any crop you wish to cultivate. They also serve as windbreak and boosts the activities of beneficial insects and birds.
Consider Flame of the forest, ipil-ipil, orchid, raintree and other trees you can find

blueAgent:


100% yes.

Which research?
When would you ppl JW stop teaching lies?

Look at yourself.
It's a shame you are not practising what is taught as the right thing. For you to call a whole sect as one that is on a lost cause is a very big shame. You now see the reason why we all came from the dust.
And you still want to wallow in your own ignorance, enough evidence and truth were posted and yet you still believe what isn't even correct. Sir, you should just do what's right

blueAgent:


Antichrist.

I know your type false teachers, I pity you and your punishment.

I would not be surprised if you are Jw.

So you mean if the writer Is a JW, it means he's astray and other JW followers are also lost? Why make conclusions and give judgements. And I guess you didn't even go on your own to make research

Why are we not practising agroforestry in Nigeria?
I made my research and I found out that integrating leguminous trees with maize for example leads to higher yield than the conventional planting

It's obvious you like to fool yourself.


Hebrews 1:6
And when He again brings the firstborn into the world, He says,
“AND LET ALL THE ANGELS OF GOD WORSHIP HIM.”







Philippians 2:10
so that at the name of Jesus EVERY KNEE WILL BOW, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

Matthew 14:33
And those who were in the boat worshiped Him, saying, “You are certainly God’s Son!”

Matthew 2:2
“Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we saw his star in the east and have come to worship Him.”

I guess you are the one fooling yourself here. Read that verse again, read it slowly to understand, you will see that the guy you quoted is absolutely right. If you want to read the holy books, you don't just read for reading sake, you read to understand so as every bit of it is fully digested. That's is why we pray for God to bestow understanding upon us when reading these verses. "Son" in the Bible doesn't mean offspring, son is not to be used in the literal sense. The meaning of son is metaphorical, which means it carries different meanings. Son here entails servant. And note that Jesus is not the only person son is being ascribed to, we can be called sons. Fo example,sons of God; servants of God. A person or a people can take the word son. Just like saying Abdul, which means Servant of. E.g. Abdulsalam; Servant of The Giver or Son (Servant) of the giver.
Son= Servant/Slave, you get the logic?
The Hebrews use metaphors to give meanings to a word. For example, children could have many meaning not just offsprings. E.g., We are children of this party (We are GUESTS of this party). Children= Guests. That knifeman's name is Abdhamasih, which means Servant of the Messiah. You are getting the logic now?
Read far and wide to understand things, be calm and make research.

Good morning dear farmers. I have about 60 ISA brown layers that I and my mom are rearing. We bought them at day old around March last year and six months later they attained point of lay and they started dropping eggs shortly after. We started with the free range system for a period of time but we were advised to put them indoors so as they don't get stressed. We kept them in a deep litter system for 3 to 4 months but we decided to make considerations for a battery cage because the bedding of the deep litter system was very soggy and oozing out lots of ammonia gas. We eventually got the cage a week ago and took all of them inside.
The problem is from the onset, the range of birds produced is between 31 to 38, in some occasions, they lay 39. We only had an instance where they laid 40 eggs around April. This is a cause for concern because isa brown layers are very productive and a good poultry farm should produce 70% of eggs daily. We collect average or above average number of eggs everyday. We have considered so many options excellently like constant supply of water, nutritious feed ( Fed with Top feed layers mash), exposure to sunlight all through the day, good hygiene and management practices and prevention of diseases and parasites. In a nutshell, our chickens are not sick and are resilient. The issue is their daily egg production doesn't exceed past 38. Please what can I do? What are those things that I'm missing out? Are there any inputs I need to put into consideration that I am not aware of. Please I need your responses on this. Thank you very much bosses.

You said yout brain couldn't get to real work when you took a break from coke, but became very active and could complete tasks quickly when you just resumed your intake of coke. That right there is the effect of a hormone called dopamine. The feel-good hormone, each time you do something and it's good your brain and body loved it, it produces dopamine and you can actually feel the effects it has on you as it's being secreted. Since the body loves that feeling, it wants more and more and the brain keeps on secreting until you become addicted. Your brain has made you to get addicted to that feeling of taking coke that's why it cannot complete mental task when you took a brief detox. The feeling of dopamine can ruin you if you become addicted to something that causes it's secretion. Instead, divert your attention to healthy diet like fruits, take plenty of fruits and vegetables. That's healthier. And If your brain is tired, don't listen to it telling you to remedy the situation by gulping 1 bottle of chilled coje , take a nap, that one is healthier and boosts your energy when it's time to work.
