earlier you showed us a cage, then now a pen, do we presume the PEN is to cater for them while still very young then move them into the cage when they get older ? Yes, exactly...

Also how many adult would each section / layer of this cage contain comfortably as I presume you already know they need be comfortable else output would suffer
I'm thinking 25-30 each or more, I think it's still early to figure that out butt I'll let you know with time

I wish you the best. But this current weather( raining season) is not favorable for them. If you are buying them young you need to provide a place where they can stay warm. You will need tapoly to cover the front of the Cage and you put heater there, like light bulb or anything to make them warm.
I do not have a heater at the moment, I just use charcoal on the days it gets really cold and they have a tapolin not an actual tapolin but it still works so but they do have a solar light bulb I turn on at night for a few hours.

Awesome!!! Massive Youths into Farming is the way to go in a World where he that deceitfully hijacked Control has vowed for feed Humanity with unprecedented GMO, Farming your our own food and making money selling some is a Great Wisdom. This same money you are investing into this is what large % of Nigerian Youths would squander on frivolities and still be blaming Bandits for not allowing them into Farming. If only more Nigerian Youths would stop wasting the Lives away on Internet gossips and invest into various types of Agriculture, naturally-Delicious Organic Food Surplusity would have been the lot of this Nation.
Your perspective is really compelling, I appreciate it man

If you are doing 100 birds, you need 500k to raise them to 6 weeks. Hope you are prepared?
Not 100 per se, I have 55 birds at the moment.
I started with 63 birds, had 8 mortalities

My whole life though, Dogs, cats have been my cherished companions, really and I've always delighted in raising them as pets. I never thought about raising birds and selling them but here we are.
