When I opened the carton

Here are they.

The driver called me to come and collect my birds around 6am, I collected them around 6:30am.
They are 51 chicks in a carton, I will be brooding them with 5 foreign turkeys.
I gave them milk and Glucose day 1

Ekene86:
Greetings to you.
You mentioned in point no.3 about not mixing different species of birds together. Will it be ok if i mix cockerel and Noilers together in a cage?

it won't sir, they do t eat same food. Broilers eat finisher, cockerel eat grower

My two noilers have been laying everyday. A male Noiler has been crossing them, my problem is that 8 don't know how or where to hatch them.
I have about 20 eggs here

chukskafor:
Always remember to mention me with each new post sir.
If you don't mind, how much did you get a d.o.c of the sasso chick?

It made sense that different varieties are being introduced into our agric sectors these days; come to think of it, the quality and strain is likened to one other strain from middle east known as KABIR chicken, same physiology, same multicolor variation and lots more........my belief is that most of the birds are named according to the environment they are introduced from
Though i'm yet to hear of any hatchery presently into the production of KABIR CHICKEN at the moment in Nigeria, but seeing that SASSO CHICKEN got introduced, let's keeps hoping for more better intros which are pocket friendly.

Yes, same with Kabir chicken. I will update you tomorrow

Funjosh:
Mine some are breathing heavily

Please can you release them on free range for two days and see the difference?

Ginaz:
My birds have been stooling watery poo for 1 week now. Despite all I've done to get them back to normal its been a failed mission.

Farmers in the house , kindly tell me what to do. The poo is Whitish in color and some just watering without color.

Are they looking dirty?
Please check for lice.
Those birds ain't eating

Ginaz:
Someone pls answer me o

Hope they ain't breathing heavily?

I will follow this thread. I want to learn something from your experience.

I look forward to see more updates from you. If you dont mind to share the farm/company your are buying from.

Noeloge82

Happy Birds�, Happy Farmer* �‍�

Hello, can I get Sossa or Leghorn from you?

MrBONE2:
Following

You are welcome sir

Toneyo:
I will follow this thread. I want to learn something from your experience.

I look forward to see more updates from you. If you dont mind to share the farm/company your are buying from.

You will surely get everything

jidestroud:
My noilers lay daily too.

But I used to read online that Noilers lay just 160 in a year

Hello Nairalander, I wanted to try something new apart from broilers, Noilers and Kuroiler.
There is a new specie known as Sossa popularly called Red Chicken, they are stronger than Noiler and big like broiler, though they take three months to reach good weight.
A male Sossa can reach 5kg and Female 4.5kg at maturity.
I have order and they will arrive Friday morning. just one carton and 5 foreign poults (turkey).
I will be updating with picture, I will sell the male and keep the female for egg purpose since they can lay 240 egg per year

There is no cheat sir.
1. You have to love whatever you are doing and do it with love......?sometimes my neighbour thinks I'm mad whenever I'm talking to my birds like human.
2. Never manage, buy good feed, good drugs, good multivitamin, provide enough ventilation during the day, never buy birds from source you dont trust because I have seen farmers that were given fake and painted agrited doc.
Listen to advice and not all advice, take your time to observe and think.
3. Treat your birds immediately you notice any changes in poo colour and behaviour, never mixed birds of different specie together.
4. Teach your birds how to eat vegetable especially water leaves, I swear if there is no feed in the next one year, all my birds will survive, there are varieties of options I have taught them from day old. They prefer vegetable more than feed.
5. Most importantly, dont take birds you cannot care for or birds you dont have space to keep.
Buying birds is not a problem, but feeding them can force a farmer to sell them cheaper against his wish. If you budget 150k for poultry, abeg take just one carton of broiler(50). Feeding, vaccine and drugs no be small thing o.


I face challenges too and I loose birds too

The problem is not always from us farmer but from our source.
Some distributors will sell cheap doc and we rush, not knowing the result will be bad.
I have a guy here, the day I wanted to buy Foreign turkey, we have agreed to buy from my source for #2500 each, suddenly he came and told me he met someone that want to sell same foreign turkey for him at #1900.
I told him to go ahead and buy from that person, I bought mine #2500 five weeks ago, he bought his own #1900.
He is seeing the result now, they sold crossbreed turkey for him, he is bnow begging me to help him order

jidestroud:
I hope you took all measures to preserve the viability of your eggs? They usually advice your eggs shouldn't be more than a week old.

Ha, it's more. Maybe I'll start with 15 eggs, I met one man here and he promised to hatch them for me. Na just two noilers dey lay the egg, two eggs everyday.
But someone told me Noilers don't lay everyday, but these ones lay everyday.

Any idea how much eggs are hatch?. Gat one crate of noiler eggs here

DahOriginal:
Unfortunately they already have and it's eating them deeply I lost two today again.... Nd dey are already 8weeks d vet said they were resistant enough they would have all died before now chaiii dis year won't finish us all

Sir, if you can listen to my advice, I will say you should be releasing them to free range every morning till evening. Give them a very good antibiotics, but never keep them in cages or pen house. sit down and watch their reaction closely. Let us know how it goes in three days time

Doctee:
pls did you stop feeding chicks new hope commercial finisher?

.
Oh, sorry for failing to update you.
I stopped using New hope feed, yet they keep dying.
The day I stopped using Amo 3 birds die, taking the total mortality to 6. I was pained seriously, I sat down and thought was could cause it if it is not feed, and my cage was net all around.
Now I figure out something, from DOC day, I used to take them out every afternoon because the sun is always very hot here, and I noticed they started dying and poo changed the days I put them inside the cage.
I said to myself, let me continue with the semi free range to see if things will change. Walahi, everything stopped, I can see the joy in them when I carry them out and put them on the floor, they will run and clap their wing, even though it is not easy for them to run.
But sincerely, I didn't use any drugs, their poo turned normal and no mortality for about 4 days now and no sign of sickness.
Their feed intake has greatly increased.

,INFECTIOUS BURSAL DISEASE (IBD) , also known as GUMBORO. The symptom for this includes rapid drop in feed and water consumption, pasty vent, sticky whitish poo, sleeping with beak touching the floor, sudden death etc For the treatment; Any two of; Aloe vera gel, lime water, clove, sage and dill will do ,

Sunnyval:
Please house I don't know what is wrong with this my 11days agrited is not growing and I have been feeding them day and night

just 11 days? don't complain yet, wait till they reach 4-5weeks

jidestroud:
Lovely. Can you tell the sex now?

I can't sir, but I think they are both male, judging from how they raise their feathers like grown up turkey

DahOriginal:
I wanted to ask please what's the use of the combination of bitter leaf and scent leaf.

it is antibiotics sir, if you give your chicks once in a week, they won't have crd

Oga Jidestroud, here are the foreign turkey at 5weeks old. They are too aggressive, I have to remove my laying Noilers from the cage I kept all of them, they almost killed one of the Noilers yesterday. Same with the Agrited broilers I bought with them same time, they are born fighters. I have separated them and I kept them with my 5 month old local turkeys.


Bought from Noeloge82 on October 6th

1.8kg

Doctee:
pls what does the tetracycline and flagyl work for

If you are experiencing green or brown or watery poo. it work like magic.
