Nice. These are Broilers, right?

willian10:
Yes

willian10:
Yes

jfkenny:
Do ur broilers have black patches, mine have..

jfkenny:
Willian ur birds at 8weeks are neat but not that big. Maybe, animal care is best for broilers though I have switched to vital.. 9weeks and 1 day, fed sparingly.

willian10:
Boss, urs are male, two among these are just male, that was the mistake i male, they're just 7 weeks plus 4 days, i got them on Saturday.

jfkenny:
That's what it should be, a male to 3 broilers, ur birds were probably not well fed by the person u bought from. My only problem is that my birds are aggressive....

willian10:
Maybe sha, but they are well vaccinated. Which state are u & how much are u willing to sell them by Xmas.

Cossycute:
hi emmachile ,long time pls can i come and see ur noilers.i have 70 broilers and 50 whiite cockrels that are 3Week old now and i hope to train noilers next year.

I like the idea of organic Broilers... I will not expect organically raised broilers to be as big or developed than cooped up and well fed (commercial feed) broilers.

Anyway, will there be market for a cross between broilers and free range chickens - raised organically and with lots of roaming room. I know this will be expensive but the chicken will be tastier. What do we think?

EMMAACHILE:
There is a breed called noilers. It matures in 10-16 weeks maximum and can reach weight of over 4kg. its best suited for free range.

Thanks! In fact I was wondering what Noilers and had to google it and got the answer via Nairaland...

It seems that Noilers is more or less what I had in mind - although the Noilers do not have to be cockerels; just a cross between our traditional chickens that simply forage around and a kept breed like broilers.

It is a project that I will like to undertake but I think they probably will take longer to mature and one will not more space to rare them. But it is the quality of the meat that I am most concerned with and whether people will be ready to pay a higher price for smaller birds but tougher meat.

How long do Noilers take to mature compared to Broilers?

kayo80:
Noilers reach maturity between 3-4 months, while Broilers reach maturity between 2-3 months.

chrisj2:
So it seems that Emmaechile's noilers will not be ready for Xmas?

How much is the price of Noilers, Broilers and Old layers?

kayo80:
No they won't be ready by xmas. As per prices of these birds, it changes yearly. Broilers were selling for 2k5-3k last year. I think old layers are really cheaper...about 1k5. And as for Noilers, I don't know, cos this is my first time rearing Noilers, and I have never seen them in the market before this year. But I am guessing a mature Noiler should sell for 2k or more.

You are a fountain of knowledge - kudos! Good luck with your birds... I will surely buy Noilers before considering Broilers these days. I currently live in the UK and the chicken we eat here are just a lump of white, fatty, not very tasty, heavily drugged and water pumped mess. You need a lot of spices and condiments to make them into a good meal or snack.

Good job folks!
