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.
If you will provide accommodation, 35k and above is the range. Plus routine greasing of palm so he/she can work well as human.

One serious advise, make sure you live closer to the farm..This will save you a lot as human are not to be trusted.

Thank you so much for this information sir. At present, I can only be available on some weekends to go see for myself since I will be busy working. Though I have someone who can be available to supervise when I am not around.

Not a thing for the weak in heart my dear and definitely not a good venture for a newbie at the moment....
My candid opinion, if you haven't done it before, now is actually not the best time, don't follow trend, follow tide.
I wish to start 50 boilers by the end of the month I be newbie , should I disembarkhuh

For now, the prices of Broilers are overrated. Imagine buying a broiler DOC for a thousand plus (N1000+)? God forbids!!!

hmmm... well, it's simply a mixture of Palleted wheat offal, pkc, enzymes, oysters shell and .... (I intentionally left out on what ratio). I introduced the feed to them since 9 weeks of age.

Day 117 7 Mortality, 20 Sold (378 Birds Remaining)

Unfortunately, I have been away from my birds for some weeks. I had to put them in care of a trusted friend who indeed delivered (7 mortality not bad jare, plus my own join oooo grin).

So far, everything seems to be on track, well, except for the overcrowding. I knowwwww....it is damn overcrowded cry. Hopefully, I intend moving them out to a deep-litter pen but it's about 91% completed. cry

Nevertheless, the birds have been eating away my resources walahitalai!!! Damboroba shege banza!!! Thank God for the theme of this Year; No gree for anybody. I dey give them woto-woto. All things being equal, I should start having eggs next month angry.

Is at that because of this increment profit won't be made, because I am guessing increase in expenditure should = increase in selling price

I wish to be around and entertain myself watching your birds in this place during the time you place feed in the trays. World War III. Would be very interesting.
