I administered lasota to the birds today

On the 8th day (09/02) I noticed one of the birds was having a swollen eyes, I contacted noeloge82, and he told me the drug to use. The affected bird was also isolated from the others

feed and medication I bought on day 1
1 bag top feed starter
Ampen anti-biotics, d-multivitamins and Glucose

I couldn't get their weight on the first day, so I took it on the 3rd day (04/04/21)

Average weight: 48.7g
Largest: 56g
Smallest: 40g

On 2nd April 2021, with enough knowledge from nairaland agric/poultry section, I decided to rear Noilers.

So I got 20 noiler birds, just to test the months of extensive research on nairaland and to test the "waters"

I would have done this a bit early...but anyways, better late than never

noeloge82:
Once it recovered yes u can add to rest, and then treat all with same drugs for 3 days to avoid cross infection.
All the best

Yes, I started treating them the day 8 bought the drug.

noeloge82:
I hope your liter on the floor is not very dirty cos this is the likely symptom of coryza .
Try and clean up the place add corysp to the treatment , its a powder drug give for 5 days let's see how it goes

Bro you are a genius, thank you very much

I bought the drug as you advised and administered to the sick bird, the eye is open now. Can I add it back to the rest.

Emmyzdon:
It is same everywhere. All registered Businesses who applied for N3,000,000 got only N300,000 which is just 10%. We are still hoping it is a technical error.

I got 400k, registered business... This money is really small, I was hoping for atleast 2m. But I will take it anyway

Ok, I will do that... Thank you very much

noeloge82:
Yes isolate it , which antibiotics are u using , is liquid coming out from the closed eye

Yes, I saw liquid inside its eyes but not dripping out, I am using ampen antibiotics

noeloge82:
Did u notice this eye like this from birth or are you just noticing it.
If u just noticed it , is it bleeding

I just noticed yesterday, it has not been like that before... Is there need to isolate from others?

noeloge82 Please what could be wrong with this chick

noeloge82:
Pls in Agric spacing it may not go mathematically, what we use in surface area here will be the length and width which is 2ft by 2ft which is 4ft , this means that the available space for the birds to move around is 4ft and like u were adviced the broilers of 3.5 will find it difficult to move around very comfortably then of I put the 3ft high into perspective it will serve as their vent space so except u increase your space for me this is small

Okay, that is very correct... Nice job man�

Attit:
I did not mock you, but the simplest and almost "most" accurate ceiling board area used by our guy got me. Very easy way to reply you that you have a small space. Again, I showed you, but instead of you to ask the surface area part I used if you did not understand, but you jumped into showing me you know total surface area calculation (just funny to me). Anyway, it's the floor surface area you need to calculate (still 6sqft according to the dimension you gave us). With your level of maths, haba! ... you too should know you have a tiny cage. Anyway, you have a simple answer from my guy, and a detailed one from me. Whichever you choose, best of luck. But oga, your cage is too tiny - straight forward answer. Go construct a bigger cage if you want to enjoy growing chickens - this is what our guy told you nicely...but since you want it spelt out...a don tell you straight forward. And you can make it 3 steps with mesh floor. Take care and blessings!

OK

Attit:
You can have 5 to 9kg birds there. Let's interprete it to the standard used by Nigerian farmers (though, can be tweaked). 2 - 3 sqft per broiler. Listen, most grow it to average of 3kg. So, 3kg birds weight = 2 - 3sqft for the standard whoever started it. But it's ok. Yours: L = 3ft, W = 2ft. So, you have 6 sqft. Meaning you can have 2 birds if you grow to 3kg each. This I use for deep liters. If you use mesh as the floor so poo can drop below and you remove poo frequently, I think you can have up to 9kg there. So that if you grow to 3 kg, you have 3 birds. And if you grow to average 2kg, you can have 4 birds.

Therefore, I think you should think of 3 birds and slaughter a bird at 2.5kg. After, allow the rest grow to 3kg or slightly above.

Reconstruct your cage
I think your height should be 1.5ft to minimize space. Then, make it 3 steps. So that you can have 3 birds per step and altogether 9 birds. You can even squeeze it to 12 birds, but slaughter one from each step early.

Note that the above is when you do not want to release them to free range. If free ranging, they can squeeze themselves at higher population at night since they do not eat or drink all through the night (at least most farmers dont care). But if they are overpopulated, some of them will prefer sleeping outside (on top of nearby trees or roofs) and they descend early mornings to eat if you always feed them every morning.

Let there be mesh round the sides and not wood if not free ranging, and provide a tarp to cover all sides at nights. If free ranging, I think you can use wood and no need to use tarp round. Good luck bro!

noeloge82:
Yes u can raise cockerels and noilers together but this your measurement is too small am not sure you understand what u measured cos 2by 2 is half of a ceiling board and the smaller ceiling board is 2 by 2 so pls reconsider your measurement

I don't know if it is the same dimension with ceiling board, but the measurement I took is correct, and note this cage is just for testing and family consumption before I venture into commercial breeding. Maybe when I get home I will take a pics of the cage

noeloge82:
Its OK once u have good housing for them , check page 24 of this thread for drugs/vaccine schedule. If u have any other questions afterwards you can ask

Please, what will be the ideal number of chicks for a cage of Length 3ft, Height 2ft and width 2ft. And can I raise noilers and cockerels together. Thank you

Acidosis:
Okay, so the training is same for individuals and registered businesses?

Yes it is same

arcahmad:
Please, have anyone registered with CAC been invited for online training?

Yes

Thanks guys for the concerns and DMS, luckily for me, I saw my name on the list but it has being a bitter-sweet moment for me since yesterday when I learnt that some of us didn't make the cut for no fault of ours, one can only imagine the anger, disappointment and frustration. I no go lie me sef just weak! (I won't mention names) but that's part of life gird up your loins there are better days ahead trust me.
For those complaining about their registration number being reassigned to other candidates my lil advice will be you should still go to the exams centre and give it a shot we never can tell what will happen at worst they'll send you back but there is nothing God can't do. For those of us that saw our names, this is a means to an end and not the end in itself, we have to double our efforts in preparation for the task ahead as proper preparation prevents poor performance. This year's enlistment exercise is the first time NA is going via the exam route for DSSC/SSC. I believe they're indirectly telling us that our destiny is in our own hands we should make it count and leave the rest to God.
I wish us all a resounding success on Saturday. We will all have a cause to laugh for good.

Victory is from God Alone.

The 5Ps, you are well read bro... I wish you and others the best

Whois:
I thought government said it is FOC buari even added it as one of the achievements of his fake government for the poor in his endsars speech last night.

I mean if you want to register on CAC not the free one

Dosoq:
I don't think its true.

I put my business on hold since August after my business name was approved because of lack of funds.

I was happy when I saw this post,went to the portal to continue my registration,
They charged me #17000.


See attached as evidence..

Uncheck the additional certificate and certified true copy, that's why it is showing 17k, you are supposed to pay 10k only, for business name registration... Except you want to do this free own then you go through an aggregator for you state

Double post

Kalapizim:
Just that! That shouldnt take time since Monday na

That might not be the only thing they were doing since then, pension will take 2days from that, collection of posting letters to corps also, so it might not be only documentation, and considering their number again
