i estimated 10bags for the 6weeks I'm going to raise them. My target is atleast 2.5kg average live weight.

About your feeding, are you sure you're not underfeeding them? From what I learnt from experienced people like emmaachile and turks, 100birds would consume atleast 20bags of feed in 8weeks. Breaking that down, the 1st 4weeks should take about 6bags of starter while the remain 4weeks should take 14bags. If you're at your 3rd bag at 3weeks, you may be underfeeding those 91 birds

What's the average weight of your birds and please Could you share a picture of your birds?

I don't have scale to measure their weight, I have shared so much pictures about my birds in this group.
I am very sure my birds are doing so well. The weight is so good. one guy came yesterday begging me to sell for for at 900 and they are just two weeks old.
If the size and weight are not okay, he won't be begging me to sell two weeks old broiler for #900.
I trust my feed and my feeding plan.

1b8m:
5bags

Haaa, that's too much for 51 chicks. I'm on the third bags. They will be 3 weeks old on Tuesday. I will buy two more bags for their 4th week.
And my birds are 91 in total

is there any difference between Noilers and Kuroilers

Exactly two weeks old today

khalazi:
Hi everyone.
Day 1

They look beautiful, but this space cannot contain them in two weeks if you feed them very well

Ibitomisola:

1b8m:

Thank you bro. 12 days old rather

New Hope feed is the best jor

unity004:
my noilers are now 5weeks old. they are now consuming alot of feed (1 bag in 1week 5days). please house, with what do you supplement your feed ratio?

How many are they?

13 days old today, Agrited delivered by my mentor Noeloge82

1b8m:
it could work that way but what i did was never to allow their feed run dry of feed. And the birds were eating like they bore a grudge , imagine 3bags of feed in 3wks?

I did that to allow me clean their feeding try Everytime, because they always contaminate it with their stool and wood shaves

1b8m:
yours could, feed adlibitum and hygeine hygiene hygiene!

I give two handful of feed on each of the four trays every 3hrs.
That's how I feed them. 3 hours interval

1b8m:
Giant at 3wks

waooo, nice job, 21 days 1kg. How I wish mine could reach like this in 21 days too

I'm in Ondo, I need someone to assist me with New hope feed supply. just 10 bags chicken feed

Does anyone have idea about grasscutter farming here?
sorry for derailing the purpose of this thread

jidestroud:
Not at all.

Do you really care to know my truth? It is totally dependent on what is obtainable in your area. What's the history of diseases and outbreaks in your area? I for one have never experienced gumboro on my farm, farms around or even in the local environs by local birds. So, I don't usually take it as a big deal even if I skip it. On the other hand, Newcastle na die here, See local birds turning neck up and down everywhere . Knowing this, I am always a step ahead in my organic approach and my biosecurity is above average. LAS LAS, NA GOD OOOO

(WARNING: Please vaccinate your birds oooo. I am only trying to condemn our lack of proper data availability on these little little things that can go a long way in tackling pest and diseases)

oh, I understand you sir, if gumboro is for turning neck, the last time I saw a bird turning it neck here was when I was in primary school and na local bird o.
I cannot use organic, since I started their vaccination with synthetic

I couldn't get gumboro here today, I wear he'd everywhere. Hope it won't affect my birds

One guy called me this morning that he has 1000 broilers for sale in Akoko

noeloge82:
His pulling ur legs the tray is very OK , meanwhile your birds look great

Thank you boss, that's the Agrited birds you sent last week Tuesday to Ondo. They are all okay, but there is serious cold since three days here, even my friends grown up broilers are dying. about 12 die before they woke up this morning

VTJN:
Thanks for your contribution.

Busted

VTJN:
Please proof read my post, a carton of broiler in my locality is #7,500. i never said the two cartons are #7500 in total. Thanks

Hey Mr, there is nowhere they sell carton of broilers for 7500. You lied

jidestroud:
Lovely one coming from your brooder house. I'm glad it helped and your birds are doing superb.

Spoiler Alert. Your birds have outgrown those trays sir.

Thank you sir.

Outgrown? How?

Riyike95:
Please I need buyers for 10wks old broilers in akure

Those must be grandpa broilers. You can talk to the food vendors in Akure, market doesn't move quickly here in Ondo like that

mcdokwe:
The three weeks old birds are receiving less attention now but currently weigh approximately 1 kg.

I no sell again, I have about 10 left and people still think it is expensive @ 900 naira after all my efforts, thank goodness I never raised them with the intention to sell, now I'm going to watch them grow for my personal delight and consumption.

Boss, you use gas as heater? is charcoal not better?

VTJN:
Why not do the neccessary finding to prove to me and the public that i'm fake? my house, main moniker, and any other evidence whatsoever. please do not castigate me yet, the real and genue ones do exist. Nevertheless, hanks for your input.

I said that because you said the price of two carton of day old broiler is 7500.

Pweetiebabe:
OK sir, thanks so much but i hope its not to late to start with DOC, cos i want it to reach a reasonable size and weight by xmas

Feed Ad-libitum, you will achieve 4kg before December

Pweetiebabe:
Good day house, please i need enlightment on this, i have 2bedroom flat @ my place that am planning of using to raise birds for xmas(just 50pieces) but d floor is not plaster yet and right now i don't have money for that, so i want to ask of i can just cover with wood shaving and use like that or must i plaster it?

You can use woodshaves, but it has to be much, because those chicks must not touch the unplasterd ground cos of cold.

I'm so happy

A week old today, Agrited I bought from Noelogo82, thanks to Jidestroud for the advice given concerning feeding tray and how to raise their drinker. No mortality since then

Noblejay7:
Please who is in Ibadan that sells gas heater for brooding? Kindly indicate. I need to buy ASAP.

I need this too, I'm in Ondo
