i just received three hundred day hold broilers but they re seven days old now, they have practically consume one bag of super starter feed, i have opened the second bag, with the way things re going now how many bags do i need to buy to sustain them till december.

Is it not to early to stock for December?

not really too early. just that he will have super sized broiler of nothing less than 3kg or 4kg if he feed them well
my major concern is the market

My thoughts exactly. People won't pay for what it's worth. The birds I will sell for big Salah are still 4 weeks old and I will still stock for Christmas after Salah.

well u are going to have a great deal of work ahead? Since u are targeting xmas- there will be market for them as by then buyers will be keen by body carcass weight and thats y at xmas pple will b weighing with dia hands for example like; oh my God this one get weight that one get weight comments will be swaying d air so i hope u are already keeping records of every penny spent n of d expenses to come? Well, as from 3weeks they will start consuming like hell. So it is advisable to get enough bags ahead n in store perhaps d ones that fall within 3month expirations date. 100broilers will consume 2bags per week- by my calculations: 300 broilers will consume 6bags per week- so for d next 4weeks the 300 white 'spartans' will have consumed; 6 X 4weeks= 24bags: so lets say assume 28-29bags of feeds will rear them from a-day old to 7weeks-old if the feeding is right; u can get pass 1.6-1.9kg at 7weeks: wat is size of ur pen house n hw is their brooding going?u can start marketing them business wise. And If u starve them for one reason or d other they will reduce in body weight so badly in such a way they will hav to consume alot to regain it again- what is ur vaccination/drugs plans for the birds? I jst sent u an email request? U can reach me for free materials & info via d other means:

One thing about marketing ur broilers is that u can start now- creating markets for them by ads- word of mouth, at d open market- and where u know poultry products are consumed n used for businesses. Build n pile ur client and contact lists; reminding them of when to start expecting the stock via sms/call: and telling them when d broilers will be ready for sale- u can start selling from dia 7th week? D mistake pple do is that they wont start creating markets for them now that d birds are still growing: it is when d birds have reached slaughtering stage they will start going round and about looking for clients over night- no matter, what do not sell for credits. Building ur contact lists is important n necessary:

thanx for the reply, i really appreciate u guys, but how about breed and sale? is it really okay as per business wise?

Yes it is.

the more they eat the more they get bigger

heywhy4u: the more they eat the more they get bigger

I don't totally agree with that. Feed Conversion ratio is what I think you should put into consideration. Broilers will eat as long as food is available and this doesn't necessarily translate to body mass.
