,-- it all depends on the size. Here @ nsukka, we sell medium #720 for quantity price

Brineharry. How old are your birds? At what age did they start laying? Are they on litter or cage? What is the quantity of feed you're giving them? Did you photo stimulate during their growing phase? Are you using any special vitamins containing methionine?

they are 38 weeks. Started laying at 21wks and on deep litter. I feed them 115g/bird. I use aminogrow vitamin,. Pls

STOP! Using aminogrow.Aminogrow Can Lead To Fat Accumulation Cos It's Meant For Growing Birds.

pls house, i need advice. i have turkeys that started laying eggs since December,2015.
suddenly they stop laying. i also observe that they are always laying down n always n not as active.
pls what do i do.

good evening farmers in d auz, I have 50 layers dat are in dere 28 weeks.....dey were producing BTW 35- 38 eggs, but since 5days ago dere production as dropped to 23- 29 eggs per day. and dis situation is getting me worried. wat could b d cause of dis and how can I tackle it......pls your advice will b greatly appreciated

Brineharry. As noted by tabontabon above, use of Aminogrow is the likeliest cause of the prolapse. You may wish to review its use. Temmydhayour. What other symptoms have you noticed apart from drop in production?

eggcelent.......checked for any symptoms but I can't really find one, dey are really active And eating well also. dat is y am really confused

Please forgive my ignorance, I am here to learn.


I once asked this question here : "Does turkey and chicken have the same rearing process", got responses, but not with details.

So while at the university farm today, i asked the farm training instructor same question; "Does turkey and chicken have the same rearing process"?

and the response was "yes", that all poultry birds have the same rearing process, including vaccines but the difference is that chicken are more prone to diseases.

Please my fellow nairalanders forgive my ignorance, i have passion for this business, i beleive that this pratical training that i am currently undergoing and the INFORMATION gathered from nairaland will help me to understand the ups and down in the business so as to be successful..

clarification on this from farmers here ,most importantly from persons who have experience on both turkey and chicken farming will be appreciated. thank you so mcuh

@Hi clothiers, the cash you have at hand will determine the set up. For instance if you have like 200,000, construction, buying of pullets(day old chicks) and feeding up to laying period and vaccination can take up to that amount with 100birds for a start.
Presently, i started with that amount, my birds were delivered to me on the 6th of june and they are doing very well with enough heat and continuos check both day and night.

I have your post of how you started small, raised 200 birds and later increased stocks. please i will like your advice and also i will like to know;
what is the estimate in terms of cost of rearing 200 birds from DOC to laying stage?
at what % was your 200 birds laying?
also what is the size of the pen to raise 200 birds?

My ogas in the house pls I need ur help my layers of 220 are giving me 5 create and some pcs but they should be giving me 7 create and some pcs by now pls boss what can I do I do gv them lasota every month with multivitamin pls boss what can I give them

well done bro,are you buying point of lay or point of cage?or are you going to buy day old chicks. Also how many birds do you intend to stock? are you doing deep litter system or cage system?

Chain link os very expensive. Am also constructing a pen house for 7k birds. I have resulted to using blocks fornd fence. Decided incase i get more land i will just make a gate to connect to the new land. I think making ur block helps. The blocks i am making now is a cement bag we getting 35 blocks from it. N it very strong. To fence an acre i calculated within 700 to 800k.

Practically it is not possible to get 7 crates plus from your birds cos that is about 100% production, especially if you are using deep litter system. Anything around 80% is fine.

please bosses in the house my Chick are 10days now since 3 days ago dey have been dying a least one mortality each day please sirs what can I do ?

How much is the sales of egg now from farm thanks

@Davies427 & Agrotconsult.;
i still need perimeter fencing to unleash rotweilers for security.

if u need to expand ur farm later then u might as well go for chain links cos u can reposition them compared to block fencing. its cheaper on d long run.
a roll of 8ft chain link is 24k here in Akwa Ibom. is it cheaper anywhere else.

In addition to dogs, geese are also very good security alarm. So good that the military uses them to replace dogs in sensitive military instalations. They are cheaper to keep and strangers cannot calm them into silence. Dogs are still important though bc they strike fear into theive's hearts. They will make good guards 2gether with geese. http://www.farmersjoint.com/blog/livestock-farming/poultry/29-super-interesting-facts-about-geese/.
