There are too many misconceptions about healthy, organic, and natural eating lifestyles.

What is actually organic? Of course, broilers' production can be organic, and so many threads have demonstrated it on NL. There is so much to it. Though these threads aren't 100% organic too...and infact, they still use commercial feed, which is bad. But a few farmers don't even use commercial feed for their broilers and layers. We just need to ask questions. That's all.

And let me tell you,....most of you guys doing this so-called local breed give them waste food made with chemicals. Lol. You still end up giving them chemicals to eat, and you brag its organic. Lol. Waste rice filled with bad raw materials used to make commercial feed... Some give them wheat shaft... filled with gluten. Lol. Even corn sharf with accumulated antinutrients. Honestly, I feel for those local birds cos I have raised them too for meat, and breeding. Feed them well and they will grow well too...not like broilers. But you guys don't feed them well, and you give them runts filled with antinutrients that make their health worse.

I am not trying to bash anyone, but putting facts straight here. I have been seeing this "pride" here on NL that "we eat local chickens and we eat organic", but they are still feeding these birds with chemicals in the so called "runts" they call feed they are served daily.

But I have to say this....no matter the runts or bad the food given to these birds, it can not never be worse to a hundredth of what commercial broilers give their birds. So, it is why I don't say much, but really, it's time to educate people. It's not farming in this case, but education in food and nutrition, sustainability, and wellness. Too much to learn.... I hope we can change.

Point noted

It's not my intention. No vex if you are annoyed. Perhaps I should have used another way to express my view.


I don't claim to know all. And hey... if you get this...its impressive.

I'm still trying to get the maximum number of eggs they can lay.

For example, layers start with around 3 eggs per week. At the peak, they lay 6 and start declining. So, I figure out 5 to 5.5 eggs per week so that layers give 286 eggs per year. And of course it should be over 300 sef.

So, could you make an estimation of the number of eggs they can lay? If not that much, then the focus should be meat production like broilers. But then, my fear is their sizes.

My friend, no one... absolutely no one has been able to answer my questions. All they post is that local breeds are profitable when they have not survived a year in the business. With 3 months max, you will know if broilers production is for you. And layers already have a template on the ground.

I agree. I don't know all... and here are the questions I like to find answers to. Kindly help out.

I have a question. Let's say I have 50 hens (females) with some cocks. Tell me...how many eggs can I get weekly if I do not allow them to brood the eggs? Their jobs is to job lay eggs....I collect the eggs and incubate in an incubator.

Tell me, how do you make the lay more and more eggs?
Each hen can lay as much as possible in as much thy aren't boarding d eggs, 1 egg each day.
I currently have a hen that is currently laying, as at today she has 18.
I just have to lock her up so she can board.

In as much she remains with the cock, she will keep laying

@marhoinspire... abeg, no VEX bro. I am just trying to see another view and style of chicken business. Personally, I am thrilled that you guys can sell native chickens. I produce quail birds for personal consumption and I have not thought of how to sell the birds or the eggs....but when I saw this thread.....my heart goes to quail, noilers, kuroilers, native chickens, etc. There may be gold there. This is why I am trying to figure out how you guys are doing it. Marketing and Sales are two areas that interest me so much.
The market is there for native chicken, i have been getting demand for the few once I have but I declined but I don't have d numbers yet.
I want to have aleast 50 adult laying and hatching, den I can sell their offspring

Agriculture / Journey On My Local Chicken Production by marhoinspire: 1:06pm On May 01
Sometimes in October I concluded that I want to venture into local chicken production.
So many factors made me choose this path
1. Low cost of feeding
2: low mortality rate, etc.

I started with 3 hens and 1 cock

As at today I have 26 local chicken

They would have been more if I did separate the chicks from the mother hen on time.

What I do now, when the hen hatch, I give her 2 weeks to raise the chicks, then I separate her from the chicks, in less than two weeks, they usually go back laying eggs.

Will keep updating on progress made

I started with 3 hen and 1cock in Nov, as at today I have total of 26 chicken.
It would have been more if not that I always eat their eggs.

I discovered a way to increase production, one the hen hatch, after 2weeks I separate the chicks from their mom and in 2 weeks, she starts laying again.

Take the seed at the lower part of the pawpaw, soak them overnight, then remove anyone that floats.
You will definitely have all females.
