Rakiticbarca:
nice one OP, your birds are looking great but I can see a sign of coccidiosis from the look of there litres, try and suspend there feeder and drinker from the ground to avoid contaminating the feeds and water with there litres, thats one of the major control of coccyx.

Thank you Sir, but the drinkers I bought cannot be suspended. What should I do?

luvtoteach:
What are great job! Weldone ! Am starting mine next week Thursday when the birds will arrive(I booked for 50 Marshal broilers).

goodluck on your endeavors,, always feel free to learn from experts here and post any complains..

4 weeks and a day, my birds are growing in style..thanks for your contributions so far

@ OP it's nice starting up something with what you have, and Great minds has already giving you all you need to run a successful farm, but I must add some for you, when you see your birds panting its definitely means they need more air/ventillation, you can also buy vitalyte or glucose it's very useful. When you see them sneezing it means the wood shavings might be dusty or CRD, when you see blood poo is means coccidiosis and the first thing to do is to change the litter materials immediately. The reason for having a cross ventilation in a poultry pen is not only for heat stress, but to also help you maintain a well and proper litter material. I hope you look into your ventilation issue because you are dealing with broiler's and heat stress is not something you would pray to know its effect. Thanks

Wow!! What's a great piece

Nice.

I get mine from two weeks old and not more than 20. My own safeguards has been giving them garlic second day of buying them, and depending on weather i give panadol when it cold. It drive cold away from them immediately. I also give bitter leaf, vitamin c, and ugu leaf. Vitamin c makes them eat like anything and ugu makes them big.

I raised cockerel in two months with this method. Even the seller dint believe it.

Let me also add, the most recent i got were very fragile, some couldnt even stand well. I bought calcium, ground it and add to their food, i did that twice and the result was superb. They fly like anythings now in their cage.

Also, when its very hot, i give them cold water. I take block from freezer atimes and add to their water.

This is mind-blowing!!

oluwakayode25:
I understand you, it could be both..if immune system is low..opportunist infections might set in...I said coccidiosis because OP might not be duly informed, as he might be taking that head movement for something else...only concrete thing he said is red poo...my take...not saying your give was wrong...Nervous paralysis is onbiously a symptom of Newcastle

okay, xo to prevent reoccurrence, what can I doo

omonikiba:
Am not a commercial breeder. I just do few ones at home and eat when they are grown. I read some of the tips on nl and applied to the few ones i raise and no mortality so far.

On your question, my experience with birds opening their mouth is due to dehydration or heat. Am sure you notice that in the afternoon when it's hot right? It means they are not getting enough ventilation. I have read through your posts and responses, the contructuon of your pen is nice but needs adjustment for enough vebtilation. Kindly remove some planks, use tarpaulin for covering when you notice the weather is down. This is very very important.

God bless your hands, as you start you will increase by God's grace.

This was helpful

Ogunleti01:
OP have you vaccinated them against Newcastle disease. the signs you mention could be symptoms of Newcastle disease

I don't think so,, I bought them 2 weeks old and where I got them from, I was told they were all treated

bioemmy:
Pls OP, where did you get the birds?
From a poultry or roadside seller.
Thought you started with 100 birds, how come they are 79?

No, not road side dealer, but a major dealer around gwarimpa in abuja, he buys from hatchery and sells ,, his birds are well treated with necessary vaccines....

And sorry 99/100 ,, but I believe this is normal... And as it stands all are looking healthy and growing fast

His full of shit

If tomatoes are scarce every where in Nigeria,, its not in plateau state, the price only increase at this period...
A medium basket #4500- #5000 only

Hello fam, I need help ASAP!!! One of my birds(broiler) seems to be sick. With it's head moving front and back and it looks like it lost balance... Pooo seems to have a red colour too... What's the way foward?

Bought more feeds and vaccines already... This thing ain't easy but I believe the next set won't be hard.

Please is it normal for my birds to always open their mouth, like they breathe through their mouth this way in the photo?

At 3 weeks old today,, I have no equipment to check weight of birds for now, but from this photos what can you say peeps....

The Nigerian prisons service recruitment excercise is now closed. I have a problem, I registered for conpass 09 instead of conpass 08. I just have first degree BSC. Is this something to worry about?

that might be a huge mistake
