These are the short fat ones that grow fast.

Exactly �

My neighbour buys them a lot.

Hopefully, I'll get a batch soon because i really like their growth rate, it's very fast unlike Cobbs which takes longer time but actually grow taller than the Ross.

superjaks:


I want to start feeding them with corn chaffs and other feeds around

Okay, I have two noilers too and I am tired of buying pellets for them.
I'll try corn chaffs, i hope it's cheaper and won't make them loose weight.
The sole purpose i bought the noilers is to see if they can hatch eggs on their own.

The corn chaffs will work well

They don't hatch their eggs themselves

Okay, I'll try it.

I believe it will hatch its eggs.
There's a way to make them sit on the eggs.

Oh that's nice

I'd love to learn about how to go about that

Mine has laid two eggs and is already sitting on them.

Wow. Impressive

But is there any special measure you put in place for them to sit on their eggs?

superjaks:

Nothing, I just free them for few hours after feeding them in the morning.
I think that action alone awakens the local chicken in them

I live in Jos, I can boldly tell you that noilers can hatch their eggs by themselves.
This has been possible by releasing them among the local fowls to fend for themselves... Somehow and with time, it's like they learn one or two things from the locals and begin to act like them

Exactly .
Let them fend for themselves, that alone will let them understand say dem no go get the broiler treatment

Yes o
almost all over the internet; the so called expert are claiming that it's not possible.
From this experience with noilers, I've decided not to believe anything on the internet until I prove it out personally.

Lol...funny.

But you are actually not right you know? No one says noilers will never go broody. The bone of contention is the probability of getting a good brooding noiler is very low. Even setting up a noiler with all the conditions stated in your comment doesn't guarantee you getting a brooding one. So please, the internet is right on this one.
If you have to hatch your eggs in considerable quantity with maximum success, oga mi, get an incubator or local hens to do the job for you.

You're absolutely right about this Sir.
My apologies to the internet

MyChoice1:

Yes, giving them maize chaff alone will make them loose a lot of weights...
The best way so far for me is... A half bag of ultima feed mixed with five (big) rubber paint buckets measure of maize chaff.

This Is True.

Noilers are quite adaptive to new environment. Good old days memories when I was still In livestock business.

December Period Is always Bambam *Smiles*

But are buyers really buying because some farmers are complaining of low patronage

noeloge82:

No Sir
The patronage is very slow and low.

Josipov:

No Sir
The patronage is very slow and low.

This is same situation many farmers complain and its not encouraging at all that's why these days it pays more if you can produce for groups like cooperatives , teachers and many other groups who if they know you can deliver they book ahead before festivals like this

Happy Christmas to my fellow poultry farmers

on this, I think the internet is right, truly there are few noilers that brood and hatch their eggs, but the percentage is not even up to 1%.
Since I have been buying noilers I have never gotten one that brood it's egg untill I bought a carton from Noeloge83 on December 15th 2021, I saw two that are frizzle feathers among them, I sold them all at 4 weeks old and kept the 2 frizzle feathered. They grew up, one was male and the other was female, they started crossing and the female keep laying everyday, I used to eat those eggs untill after 4 months of laying she suddenly goes brooding, I have to give her 5 remaining eggs that I haven't eaten, thank God she hatched them, they are all grown now, and they will start laying in 2-3 weeks. That's my first noiler that brood her eggs, even since she has been laying , and suddenly she goes brooding again, as I no come get egg, I give am local turkey eggs, she don hatch 2 weeks ago, I carry the poult dey take care of them myself, I carry the female frizzle put for cage.
BTW I forgot to tell you that I sold the male frizzle in August for 10k

My noiler has laid 17 eggs now.(2 were soft shelled, one got broken) so it's left with 14 eggs now.
It started laying this early December sha.
I have a strong conviction it will hatch them since they are fertilized.

Any time, I go to the hatchery to deposit some eggs, they often ask if the eggs are NOT PAST SEVEN DAYS...
Does this truly matter?
I only take eggs to the hatchery if none of the local fowls are about to incubate.
Please how true is this 7 days of a thing?

don't think because they are fertile eggs the noiler will sit on them, it doesn't work that way. mine layed for more than 5 months before finally sit on them

very big I must say, the guy came begging for more the next day saying the meat is strong, he is a type of person that doesn't eat broilers even if it's a year old broiler. I sold it because of what I heard about frizzle, I initially wanted to eat it myself, but since they say it's a taboo to kill it with a knife or Cutlass.
