100 bags of cement
2 trailer load of 30 tonne sharp sand or stone dust
1 trailer lost of 3/4down granite and labour cost of 160k...

That's all...will send the pics before(hopefully) and after(certainly)

@Hayor2014, it seems you have solution to my problems,
kindly tell me the dimension of your pen that will accommodate 4000 birds, from there i will know what i need for 2000, also, what are the measurements for gutter, space between the two cages and that from pen to cage. I will also appreciate knowing the quantity of zinc consumed and other roofing expenses, floor expenses. this is my mail: bashirmanya@gmail.com
Thank you.

Dear house,

they are 24th weeks old layer of 1300 producing 11crates of egg per day.
pls what can i do?
urgent assistance needed.
Re: Starting A Poultry Farm (a Blog) by tabontabon: 8:17pm On Jul 07, 2016
They Just Started Laying And The Increment Will Be Gradual. Meanwhile, Ensure Their Deworming And Lasota Is Up To Date. Ensure Their Feeding Is Adequate And There Is No Lice Infestation.

A Bag Of Feed Should Be For 200-220 Adults Birds/day Depending On The Type Of Feed.

@Mykeolinks:

Are you actually serious, to come get your used cage that contains 360 birds per unit for 170k while I've seen where to make new ones containing 72 birds per unit at 40k, therefore for 1000 birds would be 14 cages at 560k which is still ok considering its new.
If you're asking for a reasonable price after calculating depreciation value let me know.....pm me at blessed.ajagunna@gmail.com, your location, why you're selling them and attached pictures.

Regards.
I didn't ask u to come get mine o...I said i could help u get the kind of one I got for the said price from a local fabricator.
Re: Starting A Poultry Farm (a Blog) by bosaty2003(m): 7:22am On Jul 08, 2016
Thank you @tabontabon.

I observed that my birds are dying say 1 or 2. all medications and vaccination are up to date.

It will be difficult getting 2 weeks old broiler for sale.

Better go for day old chick (doc).


Doc now is between #190-#200.

good morning, as i continue to learn from this honourable house, i have a question.

Can I start a broiler production with #50,000? If yes, how do i prioritize the fund?
Re: Starting A Poultry Farm (a Blog) by tabontabon: 9:37am On Jul 08, 2016
Having Zero Mortality In Layer Operation Is Impossible,the Aim Is To Prevent Any Major Disease Outbreaks And Watch Out For Any Symptoms. Also,dont Use A Specific Antibiotics For Too Long To Prevent Resistance.Bio-safety Is The Key Word.

Yes, assuming you already have housing for the birds. N50,000 may just be enough to raise 1 cartoon (50 DOC).

Hello all,

Please if you get the attached docs in the email I sent you, please let me know here on Nairaland, omotititi, said that (He or she) didn't get the first one I sent. Just want to make sure everyone gets it. And please omotititi, if you still didn't it, let me know so that I can keep trying to make sure you get it.

Just a quick comment, This poultry industry holds a great opportunity for everyone who is willing to put their shoulders to the wheel and push along. One of the things that I noticed in my research was that it cost me about N15,000 (Fifteen thousand Naira) to raise 25 day old chicks to 2.5kg within 7 weeks. I am thinking very very small scale project to teach people how they can do this, and they can turn around and sell the chicken for about N850/kg which will give them about N2,125 estimate par bird. Multiple that by 25 birds, that will give you N53,125. Some people work as a gas station attendant and makes about N15k/month that means N30k in 2 months. or a new graduate who will spend the next 2 years looking for work. These individuals could be trained on how to do this and they will be their own BOSS with enough time in the day to do other things they like and at the same time growing their poultry business. From 25 birds, they can increase their next set to 30, 40, 50 birds and the growth will continue.

The comfort here is that the Nigerian population will swallow any quantity you throw at them, so it doesn't matter how many people are involved in this industry, of course the game will then becomes marketing, products differentiation and packaging. I have never been this excited about any thing before.

Good luck guys.

Franklin Kalu

which age did the egg production commence?
Seems you are panicking too early.
Wait till age 28 weeks by which date you should have at least 80% production
