Day 64 402 Birds Remaining (3 mortality) All is well and good. Though exhausting most times, and barely able to take time off the project, I still find it quite interesting to see these little rascals grow up right in from of me. Below are the pictures as promised. 2 Likes

RainMoreDFARMS:Absolutely. Good observation. All things being equal, I hope to move them to their pen this weekend by God's grace. |

jidestroud:Lighting looks poor. If they were broilers I would expect performance not to be optimal. |
Re: 400 Layer Birds Start-up Episode by jidestroud(m): 10:44am On Mar 08 |
safarifarms:Thanks for the observation. That was an emergency light due to power outage. Trust me, the lighting in the brooder room is awesome. Nevertheless, such lights works just fine for Broilers too. |

jidestroud:I think the needle would be the major source of confusion. If the medication is not the type you pull with needle through a rubber cover then I think the syringe alone is enough. |

Day 78 402 Birds Remaining (3 mortality) Improvising for my birds. The current price of feeds is killing. It's time to find alternatives for my birds. |
Re: 400 Layer Birds Start-up Episode by Fembleez1(m): 12:17am On Mar 23 |
jidestroud: Good job Sir. Please can 1.5 do this job, including feeding, vaccination and medication and at least 1 Farmhand for up to 5 months sir? Let us say for 200 birds? |

I need a farm for poultry in Ibadan too. Can you recommend? I live around ring road area in Ibadan. Okay sir. Where do we start from sir? BTW, I plan to rent a farm in Ibadan. It is about 100k. [/quote] |

DUKEOFIBADAN: What is the basis for your assertion sir? |
Re: 400 Layer Birds Start-up Episode by Otiwaikuku: 11:08pm On Mar 23 |
Good day all, Jide thanks for the good job,many of us are getting educated and encouraged by your great job. Pls we can see that one of the major constraint in this farming business is adequate capital and knowledge of the best practices in the business.Pls is there ways/means like minds can pull resources together so we can maximize the profits in this business? |
Re: 400 Layer Birds Start-up Episode by jidestroud(m): 9:37am On Mar 24 |
Fembleez1: Okay... 200 birds would cost you approximately N140k (using the current price @ 700 per chick). Since you are in Ibadan, it could be cheaper) Drugs & multivitamins, budget N20k. Yes 20k. Vaccines, 25k will do just fine. Now to feeding... 1.5kg per bird for 4 weeks i.e 200×1.5 = 300kg That's approx 12 bags for the 1st 1month. Depending on the type of feeds used; New Hope 320 over here is now approx. N15,950 i.e 15,950 × 12 bags = N191,400 Approximately same will go for 8weeks of age, N191,400 So far for the first 2 months, you would have spent N382,800 on feeding. From 9weeks of age, you should start feeding appx a bag per day. That is 31 × 13,,800 for the New Hope 321 bag = 179,400 monthly. That is 3rd, 4th & 5th month... 179,400 x 3 = N538,200 So total money spent so far is N 538,200 + 382,800 + 20,000 + 25,000 + 140,000 = 1,106,000. Let say, you even pad your budget with 300k extra, 1.5million will go a long way and Yes, it is possible to do the 5months with it. 2 Likes |
Re: 400 Layer Birds Start-up Episode by jidestroud(m): 12:11pm On Mar 24 |
All I have stated above is for the worst possible outcome for 200 birds. Trust me, production cost could even be way lesser... |
Re: 400 Layer Birds Start-up Episode by Peetaa12: 4:27pm On Mar 25 |
1.5 would do if you have available housing, available labor, and you don't intend to brand your eggs. Fembleez1: |
Re: 400 Layer Birds Start-up Episode by Fembleez1(m): 8:06pm On Mar 25 |
jidestroud: Thank you so much for your kind response sir. Your calculations above did not take into consideration the cost of labour for each month sir. Will 1 Farmhand be fine? And what do you think is a fair wage per month for a Farmhand? Also, the drugs and vaccines calculation is per month or for the whole production period? Secondly, I noticed you mentioned feeding 1 bag per day from 9 weeks up. Though I know that is currently what your chickens consume (400). Are you stating 1 bag per day for me too, for 200 chicks as a worst case scenario? I noticed also that your calculation of 31 bags per month x 13,800 is lesser than the actual figure. I presume that was an oversight sir? Once again, I am very grateful for your breakdown of things to me. God bless you sir. 1 Like 1 Share |

goadson82: I believe you were trying to quote me. I did not get the mention since you did it wrongly. I am speaking with my friend who knows someone in Ibadan that does poultry and knows about sourcing land for rent and sales. I should be in Ibadan this weekend. I will try to inquire and give you feedback sir. Please in case I don't remember to get you a response by 31st, kindly mention me sir. |

Peetaa12: I intend hiring 1 Farmhand? What is branding of eggs sir? |
Re: 400 Layer Birds Start-up Episode by Peetaa12: 9:40pm On Mar 25 |
Okay, the farmhand should be an animal lover By branding, I meant creating a name for your egg business that will make you stand out. But you would inqure more production costs for packaging and marketing. You can do without branding. Fembleez1: |
Re: 400 Layer Birds Start-up Episode by Fembleez1(m): 10:06pm On Mar 25 |
Peetaa12: Okay. Do you have a rough guess of what pay for a Farmhand should be per month? Oh, I get that now. I can get that done. Thank you so much sir. |
