Neologe82 please I beg you with the name of God I need your help. I just started this poultry business last week as an investment. I did a small scale so I can have the necessary experience and by God’s grace would be going on a larger scale next year.

I bought 40 birds and would soon add 30 to it.

They are 4wks old . I don’t know anything concerning this business . I’m a newbie and I’ve tried to understand what you have taught from page 1 but I’m finding it difficult. Please mentor me. I would like to have you on WhatsApp so I give daily feedbacks and updates. I want to do this business to compliments my other hustles and I’m so serious about it.

Biko. Thanks

How well do u know the seller in terms of how the bird was raised

Ginaz:

I got some chicks(2 weeks old) a few days back, but 2 of the chicks seems to have developed eye problem, one of their eyes is sealed shut like a human with Conjunctivitis (appolo or pink eye).

Please house what could be the cause and its appropriate treatment.

Coryza use Cory sp for 5 days

Busyworking:

Funjosh:

Redomi:

This your Birds are really doing very well kudos to you

Chibydinho:
Thank you, boss. Came this morning and noticed that one of the bird can't walk. Can't even stand �

Start the treatment I told u , so that they wouldn't be getting weaker by the day

Chibydinho:
Is it in the affected eyes or just in water?

Add to the drinking water for all the birds to drink

Chibydinho:
What should I do to one of my birds that it's one eye is closed with a teary eyes that turned to mucus.

Buy Cory sp and give it for 5 days

Wumi261:
Thank you for the update, I will be expecting my chickens on Monday.

Sure no problem

jidestroud:
Unbelievable

For the love of Christ, Super group is not a multivitamin oooooooooo.

I got a call from someone who was convinced to buy super gro as a source of multivitamin for his birds since the one I prescribed wasn't available. I was shocked to my marrow.

He joked with me that he had enough to last him throughout the year and I was like; How many did you buy? He replied 5litres. . Went further to to say he had been giving the birds for a while now and it was always foaming. . Oga snap make I see wetin you buy? Na so I see super gro keg oooo . Walahi, una no go kee me.

Personally, I try as much as possible to avoid giving out names of drugs except in extreme cases.

Very correct giving out names sometimes causes confusion when the buyer is not used to the drug and the seller not having exactly the prescribed tries to confuse the buyer

jidestroud:
Not at all.

Do you really care to know my truth? It is totally dependent on what is obtainable in your area. What's the history of diseases and outbreaks in your area? I for one have never experienced gumboro on my farm, farms around or even in the local environs by local birds. So, I don't usually take it as a big deal even if I skip it. On the other hand, Newcastle na die here, See local birds turning neck up and down everywhere . Knowing this, I am always a step ahead in my organic approach and my biosecurity is above average. LAS LAS, NA GOD OOOO

(WARNING: Please vaccinate your birds oooo. I am only trying to condemn our lack of proper data availability on these little little things that can go a long way in tackling pest and diseases)

Thank God for that paragraph where u added Warning if not I can guarantee you that when fatalities start coming and people quote u may get so confused that a talk like this has caused great damage.
One thing for sure is history it always good like u said knowing environmental history is very key in animal/crop health
Having said that I advice he keeps trying to get get gumboro vaccine since he may not know the gumboro history in his area cos gumboro may not strike immediately until 5th week and by then the death rate is very high

Chevrolet076:
thanks so much @ noeloge82 jidestroud, the bird got better.. after administering Amprolium 250 wsp in the morning (anticocci) and antibiotics (BIFEMS triple sulfate solution) in the evening for 2 consecutive days it's almost 90% fine now.



I googled the efficacy of tetracyclines as antibiotics and I got that most disease causing organisms are resistant to tetracyclines and to some extent oxytetracyclines. That's why I've been sticking with sulphur based antibiotics and tylosin. do you have any personal opinion/experience about this..

Sometimes contents of drugs may not even be the real content , my advice is whatever works for u stick to it

Funjosh:
Please during brooding, when should I stop heating up their pen, I mean how old should the birds be to stop heating up their house

There is no particular day for stopping cos it depends on weather situation in your Area but at 15 days the birds may have grown feathers and stronger to with stand cold temperature

Redomi:
Thank you boss, that's the Agrited birds you sent last week Tuesday to Ondo. They are all okay, but there is serious cold since three days here, even my friends grown up broilers are dying. about 12 die before they woke up this morning

Wao since there is serious cold pls support them with good heat

Redomi:
Thank you sir.

Outgrown? How?

His pulling ur legs the tray is very OK , meanwhile your birds look great

Chibydinho:
Will celebrate their one month by weekend. Are they doing well?

They are keep it up

Doctee:
I have sick broiler that used used to close eyes anytime I give it antibiotics used to cough

Your explanation is not very clear is it that the broilers are sick , closing their eyes and coughing And u have given them antibiotics

Wumi261:
Bro,
Good evening, I've sent a WhatsApp message to you.

Pls check I have replied you

1b8m:

Yes repeat it and then treatment the next day

1b8m:
17 days today. I gave them gumboro on Saturday. They've been on amprolium ever since

Ok , what u will do now is give the lasota tomorrow morning
Then next tomorrow place then on center cipro & a very strong antibiotics like Dogxgen 20/20 or NCO for 5 days let me know the result after 5 days good luck

1b8m:

How old are they now and what's d last treatment you gave to them

1b8m:
Emmaachile aysnoopy neologe

Can i administer amprolium to my birds alongside centre cipro?

Yes u can but what is wrong with the birds

1b8m:
ideal number is 75 but you can stretch it to 112 maximum

Remember this is broiler and so u cannot manage space for them for best results

Redomi:
There is something I noticed about stale farmers here. They are all bad people here, they don't want us to grow, they keep discouraging me, thank God I didn't listen, now they are coming for lectures when they saw my 7 days old chicks.
Those people can discourage someone, one woman I used to buy four weeks old broilers and Noilers from keep telling me not to go into day old, that all of them will die the next day. She said farmers only have access to buy day old Noilers once in 3 month, they tell me black Cockerel is noiler, each time I try to explain thing to them, they tag me as someone that argue too much, they said I will never listen and learn now, they said I am not a farmer yet.
But they are too blind to know I have a browsing phone and this is technology age, you can know whatever you want to know on your phone without going out of your house.
one big farmer who is a brother to the former governor of Ondo state, will brainwash them because he doesn't want others to go into this business. Now the man has bought all the lands around his farm yet he claim there is no gain and he has no other work o.
TO THE UPCOMING FARMERS, DONT LISTEN TO OLD STREET FARMERS, THEY WILL KILL YOUR AMBITION.
Can you imagine one of them that has been discouraging me not to buy from Noelogo82, they he will only give me rejected DOC, came today and was begging me to give him Noelogo82 number.
He told me there is no difference between birds, now he is begging to tell him the name of my bird(Agrited)
He was even begging me to sell two for him when the reach 4 weeks old, despite he has about 300 6 weeks old he is brooding, I told him my price is #1500 for each birds, his six weeks old and my 7 days old is almost same.
He asked which type of feed I am using, I told him New Hope Broilers Extra Starter Crumble 510. He shouted on top of his voice that it is too cost. I told him it's #5500 and it's not too much for what I wanted because I am seeing the result.
He said a lot, but all what I wanted to say is that, never listen to anybody, do whatever you want to do, go online and find research, download PDF and read carefully.
Everybody has some percentage of jealousy in them, even your parent has 5% jealousy in them to you.

English proverb says that in the community of the blind a man with one eye is regarded as a king , that is not to say am mocking the blind its just a proverb , now what happened here is that women in question are not poultry farmers but hawkers who u happened to be one of there customers so loosing a customer is not a good Biz to them so they will discourage u to keep you as a customer, the farmer that u talked about is also trying to relevant cos if u understand the secrets of his success u brake away and form ur colony which means u create some sort of competition for him , so he choose to curb that.
The good thing is that your a step ahead and very soon u will be selling to some if them
Good luck

Redomi:
Thank you sir, though I am not ready to sell them at Christmas, I want to keep them for egg production, I cannot be buying eggs everyday. I will eat the males next year and leave the females to produce eggs. That will safe money for the crate of eggs I buy for my kids and wife

Ok I understand

Redomi:
Can't really say sir, cos I bought them with one woman in the street

Try and step up their feeding for a greater result at Christmas

Redomi:
Thank you sir, I want to start feeding them with grower from today, I used to feed them with finisher before

How old are they now

Redomi:
My Noilers

Looking good but try feed more to make them look bigger than old layers during Christmas sales

Chevrolet076:
I thought EST mix or Amprolium is used in treating Coccidiosis, if so, I have ADACOX which I've been using since... but as I Google searched, my observations seems to mirror into IBD(Gumboro) but I've never come across a chick that has that infection.... so I couldn't just conclud... can you look more into this please...

This is not gumboro this is a gasto intestinal problem ,
