hello friends just want to follow this thread n see how we can help ourselves(farmers) n newbies in dis biz.I n my broda run a 6000 capacity farm with 4500 laying expecting 1500 pullets next week.its hasn't been easy but GOD has been faithfully.I have seen it all in dis biz,new castle ,mareks etc but neva gave up.just a word of encouragement to all dont give up on why u do.

i have been in the cafe business for over 5years now(since 2007).have enjoyed so much thru it cos my cafe is situated opposite a university.now i must tell u that the business in nose diving ,reason been the modem is very cheap and affordable.I sensed that staying in the business for so long without looking for an alternative source of income would seriously hit me financially if i did not do something urgently,so i decided to look for something else to do along side.something that could give me daily income even on a sunday.i then ventured into poultry farming in 2010.i started with 200 birds,after 1500,then 2,800.now the farm has grown and we have 4,300 laying birds on the farm.the business is sweet if u have knowledge and perseverance.YOU MUST BE PATIENT AND READY TO SPEND.Almost all i was making from my cafe for the past 3years was going into the farm,my family(wife and kids) felt the brunt.This is just a word of advice to my colleagues who own cyber cafes,dont get cut in between,try and diversify.let the cafe run,look for other areas of interest that are highly lucrative and can sustain you for a long while(NOT A BUSINESS YOU RUN INTO AND THEN RUN OUT). businesses you can grow old with.
