jamp: Before 14wks.
Can I get POL from AMO dis feb?

jamp: Am surprised at this cos I heard Amo is better than animal care cos they hv parent stock while animal care buys from CHI.

Anyway people experience differs. Some might be lucky while others are not.both AMO and animal care are good

Nbg, debeaking should be done before the birds starts laying.debeaking will affect the birds production. If u have ur birds in cage,debeaking can be done once.

Cheers

Rzq4: Amo has a very gud breed @stock(isa brown). Howeva, av seen sum farmers complainin abh dia management. A farmer very close to me lost almost all his birds in d first 4wks due to hatchery problem. Anoda farmer complain of marek disease wc cld be as a result of a vaccine failure. 4me i cant take d risk of bookin in dia farm cos i live very close to wia dia farm is located in ilora. Nbg, watsup?

steel5800: pls was it a vet doctor that advised u on this? Cos we always debeak long b4 the birds start laying.

jamp: Thanks brother, thank God the birds are picking up now.

The problem they had was malnutrition due to poor debeaking. I want to advice my fellow farmers to be careful of who they get to debeak their birds.
The debeaking was so bad that a flock of 1000 was eating one bag a day sometimes two bags a day for almost 3wks. To the Glory of God we are doing 8.1% now @21wks

jamp: Haba my fellow farmers,nobody bothered to ask me how far with my birds. Its not fairoo.

kaura5000: please house what is the maximum egg laying ability for layers? for example if i stock 300 birds how many of them wont be laying?

steel5800: Hi guys. So sorry I haven't updated the house on my birds. Well I re stocked on dec 3rd and they will be 5weeks on tuesday. I bought 1600 while my mum bought 3100 but we lost alot on their first week due to poor handling while transporting them from ibadan to kano but they've since stabilised n hv stopped dying. I have about 1400+ now n they r doing very great. I've tried uploading pics but they are always too large to upload (about 2 to 3mb) and I'm always too busy nowadays to first send to my computer n compress b4 uploading. We gave them 24hr lighting during their 1st 4wks so as to enable them feed well n pick up fast. We also used charcoal for heating n there r 3 workers permanently on the farm. Heating has stopped now as the birds r big enough n we've also stopped giving them light at nights

Okoli15: Hello Ola,

Are you talking about the Ash Camry? if yes it has been sold, we only have a Toyota Matrix kindly pass the information to your friend. Thanks for your patronage.

jamp: Brother pls use charcoal, the heat from it is better. Buy head pan n pour the charcoal inside n place it on a block.ur pen space determine the number of head pans to buy.

obnelly: Yes you may use electric bulb like 200 watts ,I don't really support it but most people subscribe to that.for the fact that the intensity of light radiating from the bulb could damage the eyes of the chicks,.you will burn more fuel to run your generator.I normally use charcoal but using this you have to be very careful otherwise you will burn all your farm.we need to develop our simple farm technologies that can cater for most of these farm operation with minimal attention using our indeginous technology.Its one of the challenge in raising day old chicks.from my second picture above the heat coming from biofuel burning is so high that we can make some little modification and that will cater for space heating in brooding .we should operate farming with ease.so for now you need electricity to light and heating if your chicks aren't much or for experimental purpose go ahead.
Good luck.

Nbg4real: Hello my fellow farmers! Pls in brooding process, can i use eletric bulb for both lightining & heating? Does the rays harm d birth? Pls d expart should help.

Rzq4: Can any1 in the house guess wat ds disease symptom is?

micoco: Aii bro. Pardon me. Like d guy above me said, u cannot. U only cull and treat (thats if u want to because in some cases its just better u kill n properly dispose of d birds since treating will make u waste more resources and d birds may never recover fully, so it depends). I guess we were on d same page afterall. Pardon me once more bro. Cheers

micoco: lol dude, antibiotics wont do anything. poultry(broilers n layers) have vaccination schedules right from wen dey are a day old. so u hv to follow dat vaccination program from day one. i am a Graduate Animal Scientist. so if u want to stock new day olds, i cld drop it here. no qualms

edwill: thanks for your response. pls is there a treatment for polorum/newcastle? can vaccination be given while they are sick? thanks

Rzq4: @nbg Am still @ 70percent. My flock had a severe crd ds past wk and i lost 2birds in d process. But today dey are bck in form wt bigger eggs. How are ur birds doing bro?

jamp: Am stil seeing one egg everyday. They are 19wks and 2 days.they are on growers n if by 20wks they don't improve I will swtich over to layers. Am patiently waiting for all to mature fully.

Cheers
