Congrats and well-done. Please help us with pics of the Noilers of possible.

Honchoslim16:

kay29000:
Nope. The only issue is, they might crow at odd times...like 2am when everyone is sleeping.

kay29000:
Whoa! I didn't know this. A lady suggested we start feeding them with waste from pap and the chickens didn't eat it. They would taste it, shake their heads and walk away. Thank God we stopped trying to make the eat it.

oweniwe:
Mine from 4am

Walahi it's annoying.

Sometimes I go use cane flog am, e go quiet.

5 minutes later when I'm trying to catch sleep in bed again e go resume crowing

I lost my Fulani Chicken I bought for 4k naira yesterday due to illness.
It was painful losing it. My chicken coop is 50% completed. With good housing, managing chickens during this rainy season should be easy.

The best way to process corn chaff from pap is to treat it like garri.

Sun drying will not kill all the microbes and worms in the corn chaff

1. Seive it in that board wire mesh net they use to seive garri... (Use big plastic seiver .. the type they use to drain water from cooked rice, if you don't have garri siever... Just wipe the clogged pieces through the seive with some force, everything will go through)

2. Fry it in pan... As if frying garri. (If you don't have pan, use big pot over gas, but it'll take time if the quantity is much)

It's totally safe to use after frying with heat like that

It'll turn out like grounded guguru after the frying. Den no born fowl well make den no rush am

I am fully into the business, I use grower feed for them, from start to finish. I have up to 7 breeding hens, I consume the roosters cos mine are usually very mighty cos I cross them with noiler. They have good meat, I leave them to roam from 7am to 7pm then lock their house because of cat and snake (snake usually come to drink the eggs and kill chicks and mother hen, but the Holy spirit has stopped the snake from coming for more than a year now)

I'll give you some tips to rapidly increase production and snap my farm later in the day. It's very lucrative.

You can sell from 2-3 months upwards.

After killing the cat, this new mother can peacefully walk around with her 6 new chicks.

Mariangeles:
Awwwww! I'm so happy for her.☺️

I hope the wicked mother of the wicked wild hasn't come back since then.

kay29000:
Nope. No trace of her so far. I hope it remains that way, cos the hens are back to reproducing rapidly. Two other hens are currently sitting on their eggs now, and their eggs will hatch by month end. The rate at which chickens reproduce still amazes me. It's so beautiful to watch.

How do you protect the chicken from hawks?

Rwshd:
OP, which breed(s) of local hens/roosters would you recommend? I want to start afresh.

kay29000:
I made a scarecrow with a stick and some of my old clothes. It's in the center of my compound.

Mariangeles:
Has it worked so far?
Have you observed hawks hovering around without snatching?

kay29000:
Yeah, it has worked so far. They just fly by and don't come down once they see the scarecrow. But one particular juvenile hawk shocked me a few days ago.

When the rooster made the sound of a prey from above approaching, I came out and saw all the chickens taking cover. And then I saw the young hawk on my roof, looking down. Usually, hawks don't stick around once they notice the scarecrow or a real human, but this young hawk stood there on the roof, looking down at the chickens. Even when I tried to scare it away by pretending to throw a stone at it, it didn't move. It eventually flew away after a couple of minutes.

Mariangeles:
What does that one want again?
Like they say, problem no dey finish.
Would you consider getting a hunters gun to scare them off once in a while?


About the rooster alerting the chickens, at first I didn't get that part, then I remembered you once wrote about it that that is what it usually does.
It's just amazing.

kay29000:
Yeah it's amazing that the sound the rooster makes for prey coming from the sky is different from the sound it makes for ground prey. I love when I hear the sound for air prey and I can't see the bird of prey, till like a few seconds later. The rooster is always super alert.

Mariangeles:
Oh! So, it makes different sounds for air predators and land predators?
I don't know which is more amazing; it making different sounds, or you observing and recognizing which is which. 😀
