Thanks Eggcelent I feel better with your reply cos I was almost giving up on poultry farming which has always been my favorite. With you and others beside me I know I will get to my target in poultry farming. Once again thanks for the encouragement.

It's been awesome following this thread all along, thanks guys for the priceless info I've gotten here... I actually did an experiment on broilers and it was an eye opener although not profitable... I wasn't expecting it to be though cos I lost over 50% of them and then sold the remaining one this Xmas period.... So the next thing I intend doing is going into egg production so I'd be hoping to continue to get more info from this thread as time goes on... My first need that I have right now is the list of vaccines and date I'd need to administer to my layers from DOC to pol... I intend stocking 540 birds... Thanks in anticipation

Nbg4real:

Since you don't have experience yet, better start with 100. This may help: http://farmersjoint.com/doc-screening-lab-result.html

alright then. I'll administer Lasota. Though the eggs have been steadily increasing. Yesterday was 25, today 30 with 2 soft-shelled found on each day. The population of my stock is 93. This is their 3rd week into laying. Are the numbers fair?

Eggcelent:
abidecz. From the pix, I can ASSUME that 3 out of the 4 sides are blocked, hence limiting the ventilation. That is not ideal, especially at this time of extreme weather; very cold at night/morning, very hot in the afternoon. Your birds are being challenged by HEAT STRESS due to poor ventilation. I'll recommend "Stresoak" - an anti stress herbal mixture to be given as prescribed as a temporary solution. Permanent solution will be to relocate the birds to a more conducive pen as soon as you are able. Ayodapoemmanuel. I've no prior experience with birds from "yammfy farms". I'll only advise you follow strictly the treatment/management schedule given you by the agent. Smankerena. What is causing the CRD? Where are the pullets from? Did you use the antibiotics in the right dosage & for the prescribed number of days? Are you sure the only bacterial infection the birds have is respiratory? Administering antibiotics without first determining the causative factors could be counterproductive. Success.

Am a salary earner and I only get my pay at the end of the month and I also don't earn much in salary so it's sometimes difficult for me to feed them.

@farmtech thanks for the advice, I've had a little experience already and I also have a mentor close by who wud be @ my Beck and call anytime... I'm also carrying out researches on my own that's y I'm here on nairaland to tap from this thread.... Another issue is that I just need to maximize the space I just rented so I won't be @ loss... The cage capacity that I have is 540 birds

FarmTech:

Ok, but you have to be careful. Did you calculated space requirement in terms of 5birds/m2? That's the one suitable for hot climates.
