Thanks to everyone on thiss forum.
God helped us to weather the storm. However production dropped from about 65% to 55%, this iss because we crashed d feed from 100g/bird/day to less than 70g to manage excess fat which we thought was responsible for the mortalities we were experiencing.
Other measure we took include reducing the maize in our feed formulation and adding 1% limestone. The water lines were flushed and litter packing was daily and rescheduled to the evenings.
With all this and a mild treatment of CRD, mortality reduced to an average of 1bird/day.
Egg size reduced but production has started to clim gradually. This batch is about 2c wks and now at 61% production.
We lost 3% of the birds to the crisis but we thank God for His mercies.
We should start smilling to tha bank soonest.
@ segun hw did u flush ur water line. Did u use a pressure machine or just manually flushing.

I am a testmony that milling ur own feed is the best. If u ave above 2k birds. It best u mill from day one. Dat one i mean, is u mill when they r doc. Thereby u can reduce ur spending n maximize ur profit. It saves u time n energy. One u dont ave to worry abt lack of feed or feed increase. 2, when ur birds r in laying stages, if u compound ur feed well, ur eggs comes out very brown n yolk is yellow. That attracts buys to come to u. Soo anyone on this forum that ave over 2k birds. Pls may God enrich ur pocket, i will strongly an 150% advice u to mill ur feed it d best.

@segun1976. I could nt keep it too myself again. Pls n pls be careful milling ur feed outside. I had an experience wit my past birds milling from a feed mill. I was reaped off soo bad. To an extent that d feed was compounded badly, d maize was white instead of yellow maize. I will advise u to invest in ur own machine. It does nt cost u.more than 250k or less to get a good machine wit lester generator in ibadan. I gurantee u that if u sort for ur own material n mill on ur own farm u will see a difference. Forget watever the feed miller will tell u. If u r nt there while it been mill, u will be shortage. Also if the feed mill does nt practise safe n hygiene ways while ur feed is been done. Ur birds might get infected. Just saying# u cant spend.more than 600k including machine n oda items needed to compound ur own feed. Justsaying bro.

Gm@eggcalent n grownaira. Thanks for the previous advise. Pm was done b lab test was done. Was informed to stop using drugs n give dem more water. Noticed that this days water gets really hot before certain time of the day. Still coming up wit various means of making d water temp to be cooler. We tot of buying iced blocks. But d fear is, some ice block makers dont use clean water. Soo we ave decided to store some water under d plaintain tree as a shed. N anonda 300liters of water in d pen. Thanks for the advise.
