Beautiful birds you've got there.
Looking at the pictures, I can only imagine the shege they have put you through ; from treatments, feeding etc. It's all learn process. Keep it up.

Thank you boss, no much treatment, except the organic I learn from your thread and anytime I release them from the cage, their best food is the bitter leave tree in the compound. Feeding is minimal, because I bought them at four weeks old though not same time.

There is something I noticed about stale farmers here. They are all bad people here, they don't want us to grow, they keep discouraging me, thank God I didn't listen, now they are coming for lectures when they saw my 7 days old chicks.
Those people can discourage someone, one woman I used to buy four weeks old broilers and Noilers from keep telling me not to go into day old, that all of them will die the next day. She said farmers only have access to buy day old Noilers once in 3 month, they tell me black Cockerel is noiler, each time I try to explain thing to them, they tag me as someone that argue too much, they said I will never listen and learn now, they said I am not a farmer yet.
But they are too blind to know I have a browsing phone and this is technology age, you can know whatever you want to know on your phone without going out of your house.
one big farmer who is a brother to the former governor of Ondo state, will brainwash them because he doesn't want others to go into this business. Now the man has bought all the lands around his farm yet he claim there is no gain and he has no other work o.
TO THE UPCOMING FARMERS, DONT LISTEN TO OLD STREET FARMERS, THEY WILL KILL YOUR AMBITION.
Can you imagine one of them that has been discouraging me not to buy from Noelogo82, they he will only give me rejected DOC, came today and was begging me to give him Noelogo82 number.
He told me there is no difference between birds, now he is begging to tell him the name of my bird(Agrited)
He was even begging me to sell two for him when the reach 4 weeks old, despite he has about 300 6 weeks old he is brooding, I told him my price is #1500 for each birds, his six weeks old and my 7 days old is almost same.
He asked which type of feed I am using, I told him New Hope Broilers Extra Starter Crumble 510. He shouted on top of his voice that it is too cost. I told him it's #5500 and it's not too much for what I wanted because I am seeing the result.
He said a lot, but all what I wanted to say is that, never listen to anybody, do whatever you want to do, go online and find research, download PDF and read carefully.
Everybody has some percentage of jealousy in them, even your parent has 5% jealousy in them to you.

noeloge82:
Try and step up their feeding for a greater result at Christmas

Thank you sir, though I am not ready to sell them at Christmas, I want to keep them for egg production, I cannot be buying eggs everyday. I will eat the males next year and leave the females to produce eggs. That will safe money for the crate of eggs I buy for my kids and wife

noeloge82:
How old are they now

Can't really say sir, cos I bought them from one woman in the street

noeloge82:
Looking good but try feed more to make them look bigger than old layers during Christmas sales

Thank you sir, I want to start feeding them with grower from today, I used to feed them with finisher before

My Noilers

My Noilers

matex97:
Good evening boss. Please I would like to know which type of feed between mash and pellet is better for broiler chicken mixed with turkey?. All birds are of same age. thanks very much

How old?

noeloge82:
Feeder trays will be fine now cos if u use other bigger feeders some may find it difficult to feeder as d feeder will be bigger than them

okay sir

Oga Noelogo82, thank you so much for sparring your times and all the chatting for me. I really appreciate
my Chicken are 6 days old today, they all doing fine
Jidestroud, thank you boss for all the advice and guideline given, no morality since I followed all you said. The only thing remain is to get the feeding tray, I will buy that tomorrow morning.

Or please can I start using feeders for them? They will be 7 days old tomorrow

There is no truth in all you have said

jidestroud:
Please do. Also, adhere to the broiler chart available to you. All will be well.


Lol
In as much as I am advocate for organics, I still advice people to learn the basics (conventional ways). In my honest opinion, there are a lot of jagbanjantis out there in the name of herbal treatments for birds . Everyone don dey turn chicken native doctors without knowing what works or not.
My answer to your organic question is; before that day eventually comes for you to do organics, read up various articles, research works, publications, reviews etc.

I adhere to all chat sent sir. I noticed they are always happy when I light the charcoal or anything there is light. They'll be running up and down .

On organic, I will like to try it out on noiler next year.
Please is there difference between boilers and Kuroilers? I thought they are same

can someone teach me how to prepare organic antibiotics? I will like to try it one day

jidestroud:
Sorry about the loss.
Okay, let me chip in a few tips to help prevent further losses.
I for one, take into account little details and don't try cutting corners when carrying out any projects. I make sure a well detailed program covering cost, management & sales before taking any steps. I asked you some questions earlier because I wanted to draw your attention to a few pitfalls in your brooder setup that could prevent you having almost zero mortality (absolutely possible).

Point 1: Please and please, go get feeding trays for your birds and while at that, make provision for flip top feeders.

Point 2: Please raise your drinkers off the floor a little to prevent constant contamination from the sawdust/woodshaving you are using. Also remove the drinkers from being to close to the wall, I can see some at tight corners.

Point 3: I really can't get a full view of your brooder makeshift room but you could try restricting your birds in a small place. I can see some on elevated grounds/slaps.

Point 4: I want to believe you started them off on the sawdust or woodshaving from day one? My point 4 will be based on your answer...

Next is your broiler program.

God's speed.

Ok, thank you, I will worked on those.
I started them off from woodshaves

lost another one today. I noticed it was damn weak about an hour ago and the wing went down, it was weak and could not stand or walk. I isolated it.
I went to check minutes ago and found it dead.

jidestroud:
Noted.
From the picture uploaded, was that how you started brooding them from Day 1?
Also, any source of heat?

Just curious.

Yes that was how I started.
The source of light is two 100 watts bulb and two charcoal pot, but the weather is too hot this afternoon, that was why I switched off the bulb and took out the charcoal pot to empty the ashes

They almost turned me to a madman, I always smile and sometimes spent minutes inside the pen in the afternoon and midnight

jidestroud:
Do you mind if I asked what led to the 2 mortality?

Day 1 night to day 2 morning, they all gathered together in one place and rested on one till the intestines came out through the anus because of cold, and we one one I spent almost an hour to get what led to it death, but no traces. I later threw it away this afternoon

I ordered them from Mr Noelogo82, this is day 3, they are okay and happy, just two mortality.

gonerest:
Pls good poeple of the house , i need your mentorship advise. I have ordered for 4 weeks broiler which will arrive anytime from now. My plan is to rear them towards xmas .

aysnoopy:
Agrited is good.
Enjoy d smooth ride

Thank you sir

aysnoopy:
This looks like agrited. Nice breed

It is Agrited bro, I made a mistake by saying Afrimash. No mortality from transport

noelogo82, thank you bro. I order for Agrited from you on Sunday evening and I got my DOC very early Tuesday. I can now cofim that you are real. No mortality from transport. Day one, I gave them Glucose

mistercharles:
