Okay. Thanks.

Niseed:
maybe they had one before and it died or it got eaten (Christmas tinz), I'm not sure how well emus do in captivity.

it will be good to let them know so others (especially kids) are not misinformed.

this reminds me of a primary school that painted a giraffe on its wall and wrote "mouse" next to it.

I also noticed some of their animal enclosures did not have the animals written on them and were replaced with something else.

p.s the ostrich kept alone may be territorial and was attacking the others or sick

Okay. Maybe.

Lala, please push this to Front Page. Thanks.

By the way, this Ostrich was kept in a separate cage all by itself.

I need more comments. Thanks. I am surely going back there soon to challenge them. They want me to disgrace myself on a worldwide scale.

Niseed:
Hi, I believe what they have at the Ibadan zoo are ostriches. I visited that zoo once and spent a couple of hours looking at all their wildlife.

Emu's are native to Australia and are much smaller than the ostrich (roughly about the size of a large dog). the ones in Ibadan zoo are almost as big as horses.

Did you check out their massive odd looking soft shelled turtles?

Then why mislead people by labeling them Emus? Yea, I saw the turtles.

I went to the Zoo inside University of Ibadan yesterday, and I saw these animals I originally thought were Ostriches till I read on the label (on their cage) that they were Emus...a relation of the Ostrich. Anyway, I took pictures and posted on Instagram, and a fried of mine who is really into wildlife told me they weren't Emus but Ostriches. What do you guys think? Where are the animal lovers.

safarigirl:
I stay in girls hostel, I see enough on a daily basis.

Most girls know all these things if only guys bother to just gist, but guys no dey interested in gist

Hmm! Me I am interested in gist. I am a writer and am currently looking for some material/inspiration...where can we continue this gist?

safarigirl:
she's his girlfriend, not his wife. And hoes don't have a look, I know hoes who don't put on make-up

Ashawo no dey show for face.

This one dey follow Lil Kesh, meanwhile the babe that fits the classification of 'hoe' by Nigerian standards is following Alex Iwobi. Slay queens don't do small boys getting small money. They do big boys making big cash, dem dey follow oga, where do you think they get money to slay?

.. Hmm! How come you know so much about this?

toyfat:
Thanks for your patronage...Trust they are doing just fine.

Yes they are. I forgot to ask you yesterday... What are/were you feeding them? Starter? Grower? Finisher? I just want to know so I know how best to feed them.

I said this business is going to cost me less than 10,000 Naira, and I will keep it that way.


Cost so far...

Cost of 8 Broiler chickens- N4,800

Total cost of transportation- N500

Cost of quarter bag of Top Feeds Finisher- N1,030


Total- N6,330.

This is the total cost so far. Let's see how things go in the ext couple of days, and weeks.

xstry:
that's great , what you feeding them?

Top Feeds Finisher.

xstry:
make sure the place is not too congested

Thanks for the tip. The place can take 20 adult broilers, and they are just 8.

I am preparing the lower part of the cage with wood shaving this morning, and I will move them there before the ed of the day.

eightsin:
nice. i dream starting a big one soon.. all the best bro

Thanks.

Pictures of them this morning.

Good day Agric Nairalanders. I am experimenting with Broilers, and I want to see how much I can start making monthly selling them to market women in my area. So, to start with and reduce risk, I purchased 8 five weeks old from a fellow Nairalander in Ibadan yesterday evening. I am going to feed them as much as possible for the three weeks they would be with me, and when I attain the weight size of between 1.8kg and 2kg with them, I will sell off. I bought for N600 each, and I calculating that I would spend at least 400 naira feeding each for the three weeks they would be with me.


If this is how it works out i the end, and I am able to sell to market women for 1,400, then I will replicate this business model with more broilers. I would be updating pictures and findings as the days go.

Below are some pictures of me at the guy's pen yesterday.

What's up...I am the one that bought 8 birds from you yesterday. Hey Nairalanders, the guy's birds are healthy and clean. Checkout pictures of me at his place yesterday. He even has a few lovely looking ducks.

Turks:
Try your hands on them. Follow the management practice of Noilers and you won't go wrong.

Okay. Thanks.

Turks:
LOL. Broilers are very easy to raise. Why you dreading them though?

I keep reading about them dying. I never have those kinds of experiences with Cockerels or Noilers. I raised 102 Noilers for the first time, and I lost just 2...and that was due to my own carelessness.

I

Me sef, my wedding Invitation is ready at the printer's shop, it is just remaining wife... Your name has to be Titi though,cos that's what I put on the I. V.

EMMAACHILE:
But I have some female chicken looking very heavy oh like cocks.

I still want to see pics of them on a scale . From my own personal experience, average mature female Noiler of about 13+ weighs 1.8-2.2kg and the male weigh between 2.2-2.8kg. Anyone that disputes my claims should post evidence of them weighing otherwise. As much as I love Noilers, they ain't the way to go if you want to go commercial. People will price your female chickens as if they are pricing old layers... 1k3...not knowing how much you have spent raising them. No matter how much you get to sell the males, it can't make up for the shortcomings from the female side.

Turks:
LOL. AMO won't do that; that'd be huge loss for them cos folks would abandon the females.

Yea, I guess so. And I guess I have to abandon Noilers for now. I will have to go with what I have dreaded all these years... Rearing Broilers.

Turks:
Told you they're EXTREMELY susceptible to Cocci. Others than that, they're great birds.

Yes they are. But i wish male and female could be sold separately. I would just buy only the male.

EMMAACHILE:
I will post it later because I left my Nikon camera at home. I will take more pictures later when I reach home.

Ok

I wish you had pictures to back up the claims of their weight. For most people, seeing is believing.

At least she came out. So what if she came late?

lailo:
There may not be any physical change but d foundation for new nigeria is what Buhari is building which is difficult for people to understand.New Nigeria where corruption is not our way of life,where we produce what we consume to create job for our people,where d gap btw d rich and d poor is so infinitesimal.A house at foundation level always looks like a crap but when it becomes a biutiful structure,people begin to adorn it.NIGERIANS should be patient.It is not easy to correct decades of decadence.If we must protest,let vent our angers toward those identified looters of our treasury to send signals to the rest that they have done us great evil,NOT even celebrating them when released from prisons.Objective reasoning.

God bless you.

And who sponsored all this printed placards?


Senator Akpabio and Fayose


It's just a pity the Nigerian Armed Forces and Nigerian Police Force re not responding to the protest the way they should have. I want to believe Burutai is on leave.

There is a difference between peaceful protest and senseless violent protest.
