Thanks for the comments.. I believe it only takes hard work to accomplish our aims. Financially E no easy ooo... But there has always been passion for this before venturing into it. Those planning to start small can cut down expenses some pple plan to start big as the size of the structure mentioned in the prev post. For Example : 20ft L can cut down to half while 70ft B can cut down to 30-35ft or of ur choice . This pen will take 1000 -1500 birds by my est. tho by the time of production I can give accurate capacity. We plan going into eggs productions only n laying off birds when due at least 500-700 bird for start. Storage house will be built far from the pen which should not cost a lot using zinc style building.. As freshers we plan to start with (POL) chicks I see the cost of feeding from day old may cost so much, immortality too. As time goes on with more experience we can go into day old . Location is Atan Ota . I advice u plan before venturing into any biz as I see poultry farming as a continuous project. It requires ur time ..

Nice one bro u doing very well, but u might want to take note of the high walls, if the birds are many when they grow older d aeration/ventilation will be poor due to the walls especially at night when they sleep, although it will also be an advantage if the weather is cold because cold air will take longer to get to the ground and birds produce plenty heat.

All in all when u expanding later u could turn this section permanently to your brooding house.

Nice one bro u have put a great source of income up and I pray it continues to flourish. Agriculture is the new oil in town.

And another thing for next time, use asbestos as roof and for 20 years u don't have to worry about your roof and pls tell your carpenter to make ventilation in the roof before the top most intercession meet for the ridge cap u extend the roof up and finish it with mesh and more asbestos before the abestos roof cap.

This type of cages are hard to clean and breeds diseases that kill chickens.

Dis ur analysis is not true sorry to say I have been in the business of raising broilers /turkeys / old layers for more than 15 years,
1. Broilers eat a way lot of food 12k for food for 10 weeks not true, a bag of broiler starter goes for nothing less than #2500 and that's for week one only, u have not started week two which is also one bag again remaining 7k there is no way on earth you gonna feed broilers for 8weeks with 7k.
your profit margin is very true but it feeding cost I don't agree. for the drugs na God stand for u, plus u didn't give multivite if that cost is really true.
Please reaccess ur spendings.

very nice...raising layer birds for eggs are better done I cages...at a point d birds become broody and feel like hatching thier eggs, disease control is harder, work is more tidious, waste management is tougher and d birds drink less. abestos are better used cuz d birds respond to noise negatively...when it rains the noise generated is very loud...u might find birds jumping up n down....affects production. in all its a very healthy way to start...just ensure vacination regimen and feeding periods are followed religiously. nice 1 fam

Bros I intend to follow you from now. I am hoping to start poultry business in June. I just acquired an acre in Sango-Ota. I have a partner in South Africa and we intend to do collaboration across those two spheres.

I have seen poultries with high mortality rates, so this guy's case is like 1 in a million to me
