Hello All. Had to go thru this thread b4 making any input. I must say its been very enriching.
Firstly, i think Noilers & Kuroiler farming might be the next big thing if properly harnessed.
These are my thoughts:-
1. Can they reach 2kg in 8 to 10 weeks? Especially the males
2. Can i tweak their feeding with Agro waste like chaff & bloodmeal from abbatoirs, restaurant waste, semi free range, sprouting/fodder etc to achieve this goal?
3. Can i seperate d males from d females at say 6weeks. Use d males for meat n keep females for eggs since they lay quite impressively?
4. Can i start hatching my own chicks using the females? This will at least ensure sustainability & stop dependency on these shylock companies.

We the average unemployed Nigerian youth need to start thinking in these lines to empower ourselves.
1 carton of 51 Noiler chicks might just be the magic!

Chibenze:
can female noiler incubate egg

Rarely.

Am not so sure for now because I free range them from 4-6weeks of age to maturity.
But if you allow them , they will eat nearly as much as broilers

Am currently building a semi intensive unit for my 550 Noilers. All am doing is build a perimeter fence around their house to keep them from straying and protect them from thieves and predators

Noilers are the way to go here as they resemble our local chicken in so many ways such as;
1. They come in numerous colours.
2. They are excellent scavengers
3. Disease resistant and heat tolerant.
4. very tasty with slightly tough meat & bones
In fact, they are our local breeds with improved meat & egg production and faster maturity
