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

pls guys, my birds are 4wks and 3days they usually open their mouths like layers should I worry about it?

Gat one crate of noiler eggs here

40 naira per egg & the minimum is 5 crates last time I used Obasanjo's farm.
60 naira for turkey eggs.

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.

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

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.

For some days now, my birds have been making this funny sounds as of they are trying to clear off their nose, only for me to see one this afternoon sleeping in isolation and breathing with the mouth open, They are just 2 weeks today.

I don't know what this is, this is my first time of experiencing such please gurus in the house help.

Redomi:

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

I wish I could, cockerels and local birds are on free range here, I don't know how to guard them.

[quote author=uche393 post=96217101][/quote]



If the chicks opens mouth only in the afternoon, it may be as a result of the environmental heat. I hope their house is well ventilated? if No, move them to a more opened space away from direct sunlight.

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?
