I'm calling out to those with experience in the poultry business on nairaland. I would really like to start a poultry farm (maybe with broilers first and later layers) but I have a very small capital on hand, N100, 000 to be exact.
Please how do I go about it?
Your ideas and suggestions will be very much appreciated. Thanks

Start with cost analysis. Is the #100k your total budget for rearing the chicks until sale time?
How many chicks can you buy and rear with #100k?
Do you have their housing sorted out?
What about their feeding equipment?
How much are day old chicks sold in your locality?
Do your research and get started!

I just took delivery of 50 two weeks old chicks bought at the rate of #450 per chick.
Starter feed goes for #3800 per bag in Abuja.
Also buy all the necessary medications.

100k will be ideal for 50 broilers

How much will he sell each broiler if he uses 100k to raise them?

If u sell for 1k, u will be at loss, for 2k at loss still.

How can you sell at 1k

The ideal price of a matured broiler should be 3500-4k

But if he's training it till 4wks....he should be able to sell at 1200... He won't spend up to that 100k and he'll still make profit

How much is per kg of broiler meat? Mind u average weight at 8 weeks may be 2kg.

bro don't think he can sell at 4 weeks for 1200...maybe 700 at most...and that's if he is selling directly.

The 100k is the capital at hand right now. But I'm sure that more money will come into it because of other side hustling. Thanks man

okay.... Thanks. I'll make more research on how much the chicks are sold locally.

The 100k is just like the amount for laying the foundation. Getting things like the housing and the first feed..... it's not for raising the birds throughout till maturity
