I hail farmers in the house, I have experience in poultry with cockerels but now I want to go into layers with plans of starting with 350 DOC's using battery cage as I have estimated 900 naira pers chick to POL excluding housing.... so I would like to know which breed of layers is preferable, is it the black or the brown ones and also which farm would you suggest I order from, because I have heard some farmer complain about certain farm, someone was said obj layers have high mortality............

my dear there are many farms with good doc. Farms like obj,CHI,zartech,marks are good. Sometimes people with bad management practice complain about farms not having good doc. All my birds are from CHI and the reault has been great but i want to try other farms later this year.
As for the color, brown are good producers they lay higher number of eggs but blacks have high resistance to disease.blacks also lay big eggs. Another thing to consider is loxation cos of wheather.Cheers.

. please, how long does it take for the digester to produce gas. am using poultry waste in 25 litter keg. since 5pm yesterday up till now am yet to see the tube used as gas storage to inflate. please I need solution. thanks

poultry manure is not enough to produce gas. you need to add cow dung.

Nbg4real, Its not advisable to use both the cylinder and the burner inside the brooding house since you said the farm attendants are careless. You can try charcoal pot, its cheaper and safer than gas stove. You can use the charcoal pot early in the morning and late in the evening while the kerosene stove can serve during the day(for easy monitoring).

Nbg4real:
morning all! pls what drugs do you use in brooding new layers. i use vitamins, glucose, antistress and antibiotics. but someone advised me not to use antibiotics unless i noticed any sickness pls house i need your contributions. thank you

my dear you are on track. Just give them MV,glucose n mild antibiotics for one week 0-7days then you can continue with MV.

@eggcelent i reject any increase ijn amen.thanks

Happy christmas bro. Animal care prices are ok here. Maybe you should ask them for discount cos I believe they buy d same price from company.

Eggcelent:
Oga jamp. How is your end? It has been a while. AnimalCare is really doing you guys good there. The Growfast is a little over 2k here. Merry Christmas Bro

farmgate:
Thanks my birds are 1 year old and being laying since 6 months ago. They started late
beside the blood is at the side of the vent this is not prolapse

If the wound is by the side then its not prolaspe....that is cannibalism caused by pecking. Please check the beak of your birds.

abidecz:
Which of the layers feed is the best for layers top feed or hybrid I want my egg to be bigger

To me topfeed is still the best but its expensive. I have used it before but presently am using animal care.the business is all about profit. For example topfeed grower cost about 2100 while animal care cost 1800.

like they say good food na money kill am

farmgate:
I found out that my layers have blood at their vein. One pecking at it herself making it to cause a big wound and blood flowing out. Anybody with this experience previously can help with solution and causes thanks

this is prolapse. It happens mainly when birds come into lay so early without full maturity(low body weight). That is why it is not good to force birds to lay early .What you saw is the rupturing of the oviduct which causes other birds to peck on it. Just isolate the particular bird.also check the quality of the debeaking

Weldone bro. Will join you soon

Merry christmas my fellow poultry farmers. May the joy of christmas bring to us huge harvest and profit next.

djbrimson:
I've turned this thread into a website here http://findfarmersinnigeria.com/ This makes it easier for people to view the information in this thread.

We are going to make it the largest online network of farmers and buyers in Nigeria.

**Farmers- Add your details to the website and contact people that post buying requests
**Buyers- List your buying requests for farmers to find you. Get in touch with the farmers already on the website too to see if they can supply your needs.

Some things I plan to add to the website include being able to view farmers by location and by produce. I'll do the same with buying requests.
I might also turn this into an app so you can get notifications to your phone when people post buying requests near your farm location. This means you can find people that want to buy your product faster than any other people will be able to.

I'll create a separate thread where you can all post any feedback you have for the website later too. In the mean time you can email me here with any suggestions: david@findfarmersinnigeria.com

nice one.
