goodwork pays off. Well done

leo1234:
2kg at 4 weeks
That's huge success
How are you feeding them?

24/7 with aid of solar lightening

Redomi:
Which feed are you using?
I changed from crumbles to pellet for my three weeks old, and they stopped eat like before.
Their weight and size gradually going down

Ultima

zekepio:
Thanks for your advice.
The death rate has slowed down, only 1 died in the last week. They're now 19 from their initial number of 50.
I'm looking forward to selling them soon to Hausa men.

maybe they sold day old white cockerels for you instead of broilers cause i have never heard someone loosing broiler's chicks like that

Okay so our birds are now 7 weeks old and ready for sale!

Congratulations.

Thank you

Wonderful feat you have achieved. Please can you give the house a break down of the herbs and spice used and the chart.
What herbs were mixed for what disease, dosage and number of days administered

Cation:
Does anyone rear noilers here? Is it okay to have 1- 1.2 kg weight at 3 months? Or maybe the feed I use- anthomar, is not good enough? Your input is needed pls.

u should get 2kg in 3 months
using starter and finisher

good evening sir, please help me with herbs to combat a poultry disease outbreak in my small broiler's farm. 10 of them are not eating at all and are always sleepy, their faeces are watering and greenish. I was suspecting Newcastle disease, please help a brother, am currently broke and can't afford to buy medications.

Hmm, since there is already and outbreak, and you don't know about herbs, your best bet is to treat it synthetically, go to any vet and get the needed drugs,
Act fast before you loose your flock

So after carefully studying various aspect of agriculture and the means of contributing to food security in Nigeria in our little bit, by investing in poultry farming as our pilot/ground breaking project in the world of agropreneurship.
How ever, this aspect of agriculture is out first contact with agriculture as a business and we plan to expand to other agricultural ventures/businesses as time passes.

Therefore the need to report and share with the general public out experience and we walk through the journey every step in the way!

So today stated with us, purchasing materials needed to build the chicken coop with a capacity of 200-300 birds for a start (with hopes of expansion in the coming years), we purchased cement bags, building blocks and had the land (proposed site) cleared and ready for brick laying, engineer to his job.

Following carefully!

Please what can I do to eliminate poultry odour, is there any thing to apply.

Feed is now 15k and chicken is still the same price

Youngext:
You can contact Turks of Preemah Agro (+234 802 636 0598) tell him you got his contact from SanRova farms

How do you measure the quantity of food you administer

I also want to go into poultry farming, but I’ll love to start with 20 birds just to test the waters, how much should I budget for this??

Agrited DOC: half carton (25 chicks) @ 1,350 each: 33,750
Brooding meds: (1 pkt each of coccidiostat, glucose, antibiotics and multivitamin): 8,500
Feed for 6 weeks: 4.2kg X 25 = 105kg. Divide by number of kg per bag (which is 25kg), and you have roughly 4 bags (N97,500)
a) New hope feed for 2 weeks: One bag at N27,000.
b) Topfeed (proline): 3 bags @ 23,500: 70,500. You can augment with 1 or 2 mudus of Ultima if not enough.
Wood shavings for litter: 1 bag @ 1,500.

I assume you already have drinkers and feeders. If you don't, then
- Chick feeder (2 nos) = 2,200 each = 4,400, then adult feeders (metallic) @ 700 each x 3 nos = 2,100. Total of N6,500
- 3 drinkers @ 1,000 each: total of N3,000
- Charcoal for heating: half bag: 4,500
- Charcoal pots: 3,500 X 2 = 7,000

Lysol insecticide for foot disinfection: 3,000 for 1 litre


TOTAL COST: N123,000

Selling price assuming 20% mortality (5 dead out of 25): = 20 nos @ 8,000 - 10,000 = N160,000 - N200,000
Profit: N40,000

Based on your lessons and outcomes, you can scale up. I assume you already have a place to keep them.

Great thread
