FarmTech:
..
No. 2 might be a contribution, mine started laying @ about 20 weeks and they never had this problem. Another thing is the nesting box, try to cover half of it so that it would be somehow dark. That way they won't see anything to peck at. They pecking usually start when a bird just finish laying an egg.
..
How many bulbs are u using and what is the dimension of the pen?
..
Do you have a perch for them? If so describe it.

4. Their nesting box is made up of blocks in square and round shapes.

Can one cage them for rearing?because it's not advisable to due free range due to there being stubborn and the level of damage they cause....

House, especially poultry farmers, has anyone ever used Jakana AgFeeds for raising pullets? If yes, kindly share your experience. I learnt the feeds is popular with farmers in Edo & Delta. Your contributions on the pros & cons of using these feeds will be appreciated, please.

Hello huz, for the past 5days now, I have lost 3birds due to pecking. My birds are too wild eventhough they were depeeked. The 3 birds I lost were pecked in d anus apparently when they were laying or after they had laid. Wot do I do 2 stop or atleast minimize this 2 d barest minimum.
NB: this is a new trend as they hv been laying for 4mnths now witout this issue. They are issa brown front farm support.

Yeah got full details now for the yam biz;

*If you love to go for the smaller sized... It goes for 7k(100pcs) and 3k for transport to mile-12 in lagos state. You surely can sell for #200 to #300 in lagos state. That's 30,000 cash after sales

*If you love to go for the Biggest of Biggest infact you too will say wow!!!.... Its just 12k to 14k and 3k fro transport to mile-12 in lagos state. You surely can sell for #400 to #500. That's 50,000 cash after sales

All I need is just 10people to do the supply for when the number is complete I will surely close this thread because ordinarily it is stressful buying and then putting it in a lorry for transport.

Yes there has been 3x increase in less than 1 month, besides you sell ur create for N600, is that they are small eggs or that competition brought the price down? In abuja here normal size egg sells for N700.

Mascotlawman:
@ Farmtech, actually, I noticed something in my rabbits, I tried to feed them with Letus and after feeding them, I noticed that they were purging serious, I stopped given them Letus. The purge stopped. After some weeks I bought Letus that I wanted to eat, after eating some of the Letus, the remaining ones I gave it to the rabbits. But to my amazement, the started purging again, unfortunately, one of them died. So to my understanding, I think Letus is not good for rabbits. My breed of rabbit is newzealand white. The one that died was weighing around 4kg. So Farmtech what can u say about that? We all are here to learn.
