can the male be crossed with a local female hen,and do the females need only layer mash before they can lay

fison:
Noilers are a dual purpose multi coloured birds which are reared for both meat and egg production. They are a hybrid of broiler and cockerels and they attain maturity at 13 weeks with a weight of about 2.6kg for the males and 2.2kg for the females. The females start laying at 5months, laying about 150-200 eggs in a year. The females don't brood their eggs so if you want to hatch them you need an incubator. Noilers are the same as kuroilers or croiler. They were first bred in India by kerb farms, so they named them kuroiler derived from kerbb and broiler. So a Nigerian hatchery decided to also embark on the same project under the name croilers. But after the success of the research they change the name to Noilers.


They re not heavy eaters like broilers. The good thing about them is that they have the meat characteristics of broilers and the ruggedness of cockerels, plus they grow very fast and they are scavengers (They can be left to free range) They eat whatever you feed them and they still do well.


Actually the broilers and noilers are not comparable as such since broilers attain 2kg in 7-8wks, where as noilers Attain 2.6 kg in 13-16wks depending on how well they're fed. At 7wks the noilers are as big as 7wks broilers only that the broilers are heavier. Another thing is that any bird kept for meat production is termed "Broiler" so the noilers are a tougher and more rugged broilers so to speak but not as fast in growth as the fast growing broilers but faster in growth than the white cockerels.
The noilers or kuroiler or croiler initiative was carried out in other to assist those in rural areas to earn a living, especially those in poverty, it was first carried out and sponsored by bill gates in India under kerbb farms, in other to produce a fast growing and resistant variety of bird that will survive under harsh conditions and yet do as good as a commercial broiler with a little effort in terms of feeding and being taken care of.
The ugandans and Kenyans have been rearing them for quite some times now, their government shipped them from India. You can research online with the term croiler or kuroiler. Even though the dont grow as fast the commercial broiler atleast the are better than cockerels.

Unique Features:
Noiler is bred to survive in free range and on kitchen waste and farm by-products to produce good quality meat and egg, hence dual purpose bird with following characteristics:
- Hardiness
- High resistance to common diseases
- Heat tolerance
- Low input- feed cost, shelter, labour
- Tougher meat than broiler
- Nutritional security

Benefits:
Impact LOW INCOME women and youth at the rural settlements, across the country by;
1. Increasing protein intake of rural children
2. Improve the productivity of chicken in terms of meat and egg production relative to indigenous chicken.
3. Additional income generation for rural women and youth
4. Gender empowerment
5. Food security

NOILER is a product of Amo Farm Sieberer Hatchery. It's called *AmoNoiler*

AmoNoiler is developed locally by a team of local and international geneticist with intense research and selection that lasted for 9 years

International organizations have adjudged this as the purest and best performing dual purpose bird in Nigeria and even Africa.

Yes, ten of them give me ten eggs every day.

They started laying around the 23rd week.

They eat quarter bag in 6 days...quarter bag is N800. In 6 days i get two crates. But i sell real cheap at N700 because of stiff competition in Ibadan. Two crates = N1400. I calculate N200 for the Vitamins and Antibiotics they take in a week...so, if i remove N200 from N1,400, i have N1,200. And if i remove N800 (price of feed) from N1,200, i have N400...which is the profit on two crates sold. Which comes down to N200 on a crate.

Enisumbo:

Thanks for the insight, can i get your contact want more information.

AbdulAziz77:
Pls sir can you give me your phone number. Secondly should I mix maize , maize brand and company feed to give them. And are they going to give me what I want.

kayo80:


Yes, they lay eggs...the ten i have left lay every day. By my calculations, i make N200 on each crate i sell. I don't know how much people who use normal brown and black layers make though.

petsagro:

Hello, please did they lay up to ten eggs in their 3rd to 4th month of lay?

kayo80:


Okay.

kayo80:


unfortunately I bought some brown point of lay layers from one lady on Nairaland and they came with CDR disease that affected my Noilers. After I treated them, the egg production dropped to 2-3 a day. I had to sell them afterwards. Well, my vet already told me the egg production would drop after the treatment as the drug they took was very strong, but I didn't know it would drop that bad. Anyway, they had been laying for up to 4 months at the time, so I didn't feel too bad.

toyowo:
Will the female among the noilers hatch their eggs like local hen

kayo80:


Only if you leave them to roam like local hen.

Bossman5:
Pls do their hatched chicks have the same characteristics as their parents birds
