No sir, I bought them at 4 weeks old
They should be 5 weeks by tomorrow

Ok at 5 weeks they don't need heat again

Now I understand , you complained of CRD , but do u have idea when last the birds took lasota before you bought them

Hanariks:
The vet told me not to cover them at night anymore, I don't know how advisable this is.
They are kept in an uncompleted building in my compound with door net at the entrance and net on the window.
I'm just worried because of the cold weather nowadays.

If I get you this birds are less than a week , if this is true pls to avoide stories that touch u need to cover d birds at night and need to improve on ur heat level at night cos if they are cold they will always climb on each other to generate body heat and d result is that every day u will be seeing deaths from the ones below

Good evening sirs/mas I just bought 50pcs of 4weeks old broilers 2days ago but unfortunately I have lost 3 in two days. I noticed something like swollen neck in the last one that died and same symptoms around the neck and chest of others. Pls Help out what do I need to d, some are sneezing/coughing in a strange manner, making scary sound , pls I dont want this to end in tears help out.

Well if u don't know the history of birds it sometimes becomes difficult to understand likely problems that may manifest
But I will advice that if d birds are not weak give lasota to them all and 2 days later place them all on antibiotics for another 5 days
In getting antibiotics try and get a very strong one
Goodluck

Good people of NL I need your help.
I want to raise 300 broiler birds but don't know how much will be enough to raise them to 2kg for 6 weeks.
Also:
would you recommend branded feed or I propound my feeds?
if to propound feed how do I go about it?
the vaccination process how do I administer it?
thanks in anticipation

To raise birds for 6 weeks with 2kg target budget 1000 per bird cost include buying day old , feeding , and drugs
As a new beginner I advice u buy company feed learn before compounding
As for vaccine check page 23-24 on this thread
Good luck

chukskafor:
For your questions....
1. No company or agent sales 25pcs of doc, unless you are collaborating with someone else or buying with other product through an agent( be mindful of the latter because not all agent does that)
2. At day one to three or thereby, you can use newspaper after which you switch to wood shavings; woodshavings and not saw dust please
3. You need multivitamin to be administered to them in water on arrival, after which antibiotics can come in from the day two....better still, tell your supplier to send you the vaccination chart required for raising them
3. It is still very early to start xmass breeding by now because you will run at loss; best time for december breeding is by late september to second week of october (your target should be between eight to ten weeks) if you wanna make profit
5. Put your biosecurity at the maxim in order to achieve the above
Lastly, if you know nothing about birds breeding, please and please, kindly buy the ones already bred for four to six weeks and breed to table size, it won't cost more than a thousand or a thousand, two hundred a bird to purchase; the latter advice is in order to avoid premium tears and the passion you already developed for poultry not to go to nought

You have done great job but u forgot to add that in buying d four weeks to six weeks trusted source is very key cos if u buy birds that are not properly vaccinated the sickness and virus will come down and make u loose hard earned investment

Busyworking:
Please I have questions to ask you, I want to buy 25 doc.what do I put on the ground? Is it saw dust, paper or tampoline. On the first day, what do I give them like multivitamin? Is it too early for me to start cos I will be selling during Xmas. What is the cost like vaccine and feeding till xmas.?

In addition to the answers you gotten I will still advice u go thru this thread from page 1 u will see process backed with pictures on how to start u will even read likely questions with answers , in case of any further questions u can ask here and am sure u will get ur desired answers
Good luck

Chevrolet076:
after doing many research online and reading stories and processes of many nairalanders in the agric section about breeding broilers, I've learnt quite a lot that I wish to put to practice, but I currently don't have enough capital to start with the minimum carton.. that's why I want to venture into breeding the "white cockerels" as they are somehow cheaper ...

I would like to ask you all about the breeding processes like vaccination, feeding, treatment and anything else that might be helpful in this regard...

God bless you more for your response sir.

I'll like to ask another question Sir.
I've raise Different broilers b4 (FIDAN, ZARTECH, OBJ), but I notice zartech are not very fast growing birds.
Sir, which hatchery should I go for since I'm targeting 2.5kg at 6 weeks.
Some people talk about CHI, AMO, and so on, even AGRITED.

OBJ , AGRITED will give u that result now but d thing is this price of DOC are on the raise now and since its 2.5 at 6 weeks you looking for I will advice u go for AMO, CHI , FIDAN ,SUPREME or FARM SUPPORT this ones their prices are cheaper and will still deliver your target
Good luck

Thank you Sir. I base in Ibadan

You know ib has a very big market , just move around and negotiate

The major problem here is that am not in your location and if u want to supply far outside your location then u must factor using ur personal transport and not public transport to save cost

sir,is it profitable to venture into short term broiler production, i.e 6 to 7 weeks and sell, and is there market for this size of broilers.

Sure that is what fast foods sell the market is very big but you must negotiate before production to have a better plan on your investment

Pardon my ignorance, what's the difference, which one should for, am a newbie

Is not about ignorance u need to ask when u don't know
We have many hatcheries with day old broilers , and this broilers are of different species like Abor acre specie, Marshall, Cob,Ross 308
But some of the major differences is that some grow taller than others while some grow tall but have larger breast meat than others .
As a new farmers all you need is good bird and good management to achieve great results

POULTRY RULES

Do you have passion for poultry and really wish to stay long in the business? Then, obey these rules!

Rule 1
..."Only order for birds you can conveniently take care of".
This is the most important rule of all.

Instead of stocking 500 birds and then struggle to feed them or give them medication, buy 200 ,feed and give them good medication.

Trust me, you'll make more profit than keeping 500 and struggling to feed and give the medication. If this happens, you'll battle with stunted growth, recurrent morbidity or disease outbreaks and high mortality.

Rule 2
..."Never borrow money to start poultry business unless you are an expert".

Of course, there is no expert in poultry business. In fact, we learn everyday. Every stock you take in will always teach you something different. However, Haven learnt from all the different characteristics displayed by each stock, you get to know more and won't be excited when challenges come. You'll know how to handle them without much damage.

Rule 3.
..."Be vigilant".
The little things you don't take as anything matters.

If you want to succeed in poultry, you must take it as a real business. Do you know what a business man does every morning when he gets to his store? He pray, then open the store and go round to check if everything is in its place. He take stocks of what he met there and relate with his records yesterday before closing the store.

Don't just open your Penn and start rushing to give your birds feed and water and rush out again. Check around. Watch how they behave when you came in. Check what fell and what is no longer in its place

Rule 4
..."Never ignore warning signals".

Yes, I call them warning signals.
Bad smell
Withdrawal from feed
Moodiness
Withdrawal from water

There are numerous warning signals i can't mention here. In fact, they are so many

A farmer must know how his birds behaves when they see him enter in the morning. How they behave when he serve them feed. He should know the very active terrors and gentle lambs

If you keep these signals, you'll easily spot when something is not right

Rule 5
..."Never change feed indiscriminately!"

I know you do this. Yes, you.

When farmers talk about changing feed from this to this and that then this all in the name getting better result, I'm always scared for them.

Whether you are changing from a bad feed to a good one, you must be very careful.

Do you know every change in feed affect you negatively. fiyrst, before gradually bringing in the results you desire? Most of the times, you may suffer withdrawal, coccidiosis, feed wastage, stress and more.

Imagine changing from mash to Pellet indiscriminately. Do you know what that means? Have you studied the difference between mash and Pelleted feed and the process of digestion?

They may contain the same ingredients but the formulation process varies so is the digestion process.

Note:
I don't mean changing from starter to grower or finisher but changing from one commercial feed to another e.g. from top feed to hybrid then Ultima, livestock, new hope, Chikun and more; you are doing your birds more harm than good.

Each company use their own unique ingredients to make their feeds although they may give the same nutritional content. Before using any feed for yiur birds, find out first about the feed and make sure you stick with it. Don't be surprised, the cheapest feeds in the market may give you the best result.

Rule 6
..."Never let your birds run dry of water".

Have you heard of heat stress? If it has happened to your birds then you'll understand what I'm saying.
Heat stress can wipe your entire flock. And it may leave your birds vulnerable to all kinds of infection as their immune system get weakened and may take more than 14 days to fully recover.
Your birds can survive 48 hours without feed but they can't survive 7 hours without water.
Instead of running out of water, please, run out of feed.

Rule 7
..."If you can't drink that water, don't give it to your birds".

Some farmers takes chickens as they are just animals and nothing matters. Maybe they've forgotten they are dealing with delicate live animals.

Waterborne diseases are some of the deadliest disease and most difficult to control. Imagine a tiny drop of of harmful substance inside the drinking water; it'll contaminate the whole water. If it was feed, it may not be that bad.

Some farmers believe too that if a particular drug cures a disease, once the same drug is mixed with their drinking water it'll kill all the harmful bacterial inside the water. No, it doesn't work dt way.

And lastly, Rule no. 8.
You don't sleep, if you sleep, your birds sleep, most especially for broilers and if your birds sleeps, they stop, growing, get them illuminated both day and night and feed them Ad-libitum. That is the secret of 2.6kg in 35days on raising broilers
