EMMAACHILE:
I can help you find out if you are serious but the prices here are ridiculous with some hectares going for as high as 1 million close to Lokoja Ajaokuta express road.

If you are doing short term cropping , its advisable to lease then purchase later at a cheap price.

even 1.5m

Lost the last 8 wks old turkey of my 2nd batch today.
I lost the cost of buying the birds and the cost of feeding them for over 8 weeks - very painful

I am on the 3Rd batch of birds in my backyard.

The first batch arrived 23/05/17 - 50 FIDAN broilers and 5 foreign turkeys ordered from poultry plaza.Culled 41 broilers at 9+wks and put in the freezer to sell to neighbors and friends, lost the 5 foreign turkeys.

The second batch arrived 16/06/17 - 50 Zartech Cobb 700 and 12 local turkey ordered from a nairalander.This batch was supposed to be better than the first but I started losing them right from the day I got them.Before 2 wks I had lost more than half of the turkeys and like 20 broilers-hard luck you would say.


This thread is for the third batch which I received on 21/07/17. i wanted to order for 100 broilers and 20 foreign turkeys when I started the thread but I later changed my mind when I got to know the wayo most of these agents play when you order for birds.

A short story--- I reside in Abuja but I am originally from Ibadan.i spent the best part of my life in Ibadan at Oluyole Estate where most hatcheries are.
So when I was about to order the third batch,my brother in Ibadan let me know that he could get them for me from the open market by Obasanjo farms in Oluyole and give to the drivers that normally hang around teachers' house.He gave me the prices and I realised that it's a lot cheaper.He even told me about how the agents used to change cartons and birds.
I eventually saved lots of money and got healthy and quality birds at the end of the day.
I had no plans of buying plain carton but when I discovered a childhood friend with a quality breeder,he sells day old chicks too...so I picked from him a carton of broilers + 10 extra birds at N80 per bird,4 foreign turkeys at N1400 and 6 local turkeys at N350.
I also bought a carton of Sayed at N130,at a time the agents were selling at N160/170.I bought a carton of male line at 150,agents were selling N190/200 then.You can imagine how much I saved.

Dear Nairalanders,pls be informed that you can book your birds directly from all hatcheries on phone if you have their contacts.You can get the contacts from their websites.i am sure of Nastech,Zartech,Foresight,NPG...Also Amo but their minimum order is 500 birds.
Let us try as much as possible to avoid these agents that sell substandard and unhealthy birds,or change birds from branded to plain cartons.It's always painful when you invest your hard earned money and achieve nothing at the end.

please do you have cascada hatchery contact?

Total cost please

royal200:
Thanks sir, I have festive period bulk buyers with a reasonable profit but their price is like half festive period rate that's why am looking forward for those dress processor buying in kg.. .festive period live sales don't need scale....There is area here with almost 20hours power supply per day here but I don't have the financial ability to start that for now

goto shops where they sale frozen chicken ask for the shop owner and discuss business. Look for as many as you can

ezkimow:
Hard luck bro. You should have called processors to come and buy them all.

I've made arrangements for mine already, latest Monday they'll be processed - they're giving a price of #870/kilo of dressed chicken.

I have one very sick one and I'm thinking of eating it, since I can't administer antibiotics & anticoxx at this time because of withdrawal.... Currently controlling Cox using ACV + garlic + cinnamon
No mortality recorded

I sold mine yesterday. 1k per kilo. The guys that helped me out only killed 26. I gave them one and I sold 25. Now am left with 19. Still a good business if u can get good birds.

Come home early then tell him someone is looking for him outside then lock him out and take a sleeping pill and flush key. Don't thank me

ezkimow:
