Lol, I was only asking some questions that a student would ask in a class, here is a project that have been following up and it's what I want to do, therefore I need to ask questions so as to further know more as I never and will never criticise him nor talk him down. if there was any perception about that, I apologise too, it was never intended.

Peace!!!

Bros it's time to experience it real time, these questions you will answer them yourself....on the last count I have close to 5 ladies already on this track, even doing better than the result I posted here. I will want them to come round and post pictures.

shakyriri:

Pics? Who dash me? Am talking of nigrows_organic.ummulkhair in the north.you mentored her.her post yesterday on ig is the same 800g in 3weeks u sited.

Yes I was actually making refrence to her.. . The chicks are developing some great bones.. its an upgrade to my own version. She's using some organic supplement I didnt use on mine. Bring her here ooo guys have to see those super chicks.

You can reach me on 08034342637. If you call and I don't pick...I will call you back

jjman2322:
Do you have a phone number or some other way i can reach you so we can talk more..

This is the beauty of organic...Some folks believe it is impossible. Pls up load pictures...the organic catfish will even offer more, watch out

shakyriri:

Yes o.nigrows organic dazzled me yesterday.
The puzzling part of it all is that they have eaten just 2bags in 3weeks.
50kg feed for 51birds.that 1kg consumed per bird.yet the birds produced 800g
Isn't this FCR phenomenal? Is it biologically possible?
Pls help my troubled brain sir

The concept is to have many small organic farmers selling their products with a unique brand name...theirs organic chicken for sale, how many do you want to buy.

jjman2322:
Do you sell these chickens? I've been trying to get a good source of organic chickens to eat..

Do you also have any other products?

Following:
@the tomatoboy! pls sir reactivate the organic crop farming thread. u can't make us start and leave us halfway

I will bro... You know organic is about crops and animal husbandry... You will be shocked on how I am working to connect the two in a sustainable way. This will become a template when you call your self a farmer. Like Steve Jobs I will look backward and connect the dots going forward, trust me.

NevetsIbot:
Bro, I/M impressed. I'm gonna get into this

Pls do, you will be more impressed... So easy to do. Those that started are even astonishing me with heart warming results.. imagine getting over 800g Within 3weeks without any mortality.

Any Organic treatment of Fowl pox?

The best way to enjoy organic broilers production is to start from day old. This way the immune system is fully developed and you dont have any issues with diseases. Meanwhile I recommend the conventional approach of treatment to help the chicken scale through the disease, then you can revert to organic. If you go through the thread you find a very good organic method to adopt.

Originalsly:
@Organic ... I noticed that in the last pix our birds ehmmm.... your birds are well covered in feathers. Does that happen with maturity or you made some changes to the feed?...added or stopped using something?

They eventually turn up with feathers. I think it's down to their age now.

marcodene2m:


Tanx for ur prompt response but they will be 5 weeks tomorrow.

The feed conversion must be poor, if you take your time to check. .. what's their average weight now?

marcodene2m:
A very big welldone to the gurus in d house.
I noticed some undigested feed in my broiler droppings. Pls is it normal? If not, what can I do? Thanks in advance.

When chicken are very young, they have very poor digestive system.. So most of their feeds wont digest. But as they grow older the system improves.

2.6kg, the Journey continues with immense success!

Farmer's Fertilizer is very much available...Price is unchanged at 5500 Naira

AGTT:
do u still av d farmers fertilizer? how much?

knoxx:
Am following your thread bumper to bumper sir. When is the next training sir and how much is the cost. Am really interested

I will give update on that soon...Poultry and crops production will be combined to unleash the power of organic full time.

ajisefinni1118:

Sir how many BAGS so far

They are on the eight bags now... I was experimenting with brewer waste to augment their feeds...it was causing diarrhea so I stopped after the fourth day. One beautiful thing about organic is that, they can withstand a lot of stress...I kept their litters longer than usual to see the effects on their health, they were just growing stronger everyday.

knoxx:
Following ur threads has opened my eyes to a lot on organic farming. I did a reading on the use of neem leaves on soil sterilization and fertilization. Reason was an outbreak on our school farm. The soil is quite rich but i think contaminated by now. Can you pls shed more light on the solution to correcting all anomalies in the soil without using chemicals sir. We are planning to plant tomatoes and pepper and cucumbers next week using sacks on the school balcony

You can sterilize the soil by heating. .. It does take a lot of efforts though. Now that the sun intensity is high, you can cover the soil with transparent nylon for at least two months.. . The heat generated and trapped will sterilized the soil. You can also spread fresh manure on the soil.. Brewer waste and chicken manure can reach very high temprature during the process of decomposition hence can effectively sterilize the soil. Also you can drench the soil with water rich in emulsified neem solution. Beneficial microbes like lacto bacillus and trichodemia Viride can be used to colonize the soil and knock off disease causing pathogen in the soil.

oluwabamis:
Hello, Organicfoods. You are doing a great job on this thread. You are most appreciated. My only request is that you keep this thread alive, pls give us updates once a while. Thanks

Trust me bro...I have some package up my sleeve soon for the thread.

Weight after Seven weeks. Also augmenting their feed with fermented spent grain.
Highest weight = 2423g
Lowest weight = 1251g
Average weight = 1873g
Total weight = 89926g
Total numbers of birds = 48

marcodene2m:
GM.
Pls can someone help me. I watched one of my broiler struggled to death dis morning. They are 4w3day(1.2kg average) today. Below is d colour of their poo

I think the sudden death syndrome is what you have just experienced. The chicken poo are ok...The first picture is usually expelled when stressed and/or after 10 poo. The second poo with white stain is sign of good health from within. You can read the thread and see what you can do organically to enhance their immune system. The beauty of organic production is to grow very healthy broilers inside out that can withstand diseases. When you give them Ginger, Garlic, (Tagiri Super a special product from me that has been fortified with Amino acid, LAB and fermented milk), Lacto bacillus and Special fruits Juice.... You can't go wrong lailai...Your chicks won't die of any diseases.

Ummulkhair20:


So true... these are just 2weeks n am following your steps. They are on ginger and garlic extract,tagiri(bitter melon),seaweed and fermented feed. No mortality.

Kudos to you...You are really doing great, I have a feeling your birds will even gain more weight than mine from the way you are going!

2.4kg in 7 weeks without any vaccines, synthetic vitamin and drugs

jfkenny:
How are ur birds... Any pics

Very excellent. Will upload pix tomorrow.

Yes big plans are on the way for even larger production

deedii:
dont say so o, you have done wonderfully well. any plans to package the main organic items for sale?

bigomoh:
my broliers are 4weeks old and after i saw one of my birds develop a disjointed beak yesterday, i became worried, though he was active yesterday only for it to become docile today out of the group.

I decided to squeeze bitter leaf into their water to see whether things will pick up, and i intend going organic from here on in. Please i need advice to make sure im doing the right thing.

Most defects will come up at 4 weeks...usually it's during formation and hatching stage...also a function of the parent stock.

I am trying to augment their feeds with brewer waste....I am fermenting it with molasses. I will be checking to see the ratio of weight gain compared with previous record... If it's steady then we have a very good thing on our hands to save cost.

meanwhile this thread has really fired a lot of people to go the miles...I must confess that we have more women ready to explore than men, it's really scary. Women are holding the recession on the scuffle without any delay....I doff my hat for all those powerful women doing this right now....pls kindly share your exploit to inspire others as God continues to bless the works of our hands.

So far so good at 6weeks 5days ( You have all seen that it's extremely easy to produce broilers without synthetic drugs, Vaccines and drugs) Now let's focus on the profitability and the bottom line that counts most.

Highest weight: 2315g
Lowest weight: 1231g
Average weight: 1809g
Total weight: 86827g

EMMAACHILE:

That is coccidiosis. Organically, use either of these for four days or more

Bitter leaf and squeeze in water
Or Crush aloe Vera in water
Or Neem tree leaf (dongayaro) in water
Or blend pawpaw leaves and put in their feed daily

Nice one.

@Organic. ... not interested in raising chickens... but this thread was sooo interesting and educative. The others that ehmmm..... came out of the woodwork to share their knowledge and experiences is what made this thread so much more than what you set out to do. Even you sef never knew about Noilers and are now interested!..did I know?..hell no!..was wondering why on earth they kept misspelling broilers! I have been sharing the knowledge I've gathered here with a few people I know that rear chickens. This thread is wayyyy more far reaching that you ever imagined...so inspiring. .. and has already encouraged others to follow in your footsteps.
To those who don't know...organic is the way to go.... if your meat or fruits is organic... the price doesn't matter... organic foods are wayyy more expensive than non organic foods and is in great demand.... demand is more than supply.
The one bad thing about this thread... in fact the one terrible thing about this thread... is the op let us watch these chicks grow and in the end .... he killed just one.. cooked it in front of our eyes and shove the bowl of stew in our face while we sit helplessly salivating while stretching our imagination on how juicy and tasty the meat is! Nawa 4 u!.... let me go get a mop to mop up my pool of drool.

Interesting!Hahaha Na continuation of the experiment I take the chicken do... See as you dey beef my tommy experiment!

chrisj2:
Is this a Biology class or something else - funny! It is also like an autopsy - weighing the vital organs and looking into the gizzard and all that...

You are indeed being scientific about your experience but this is good advertisement for you - it would be if you were selling online or supplying to good supermarkets.

There are programmes like this in the UK -trying to connect people to where their food comes from. Organic food items are more expensive and desirable to more and more people that can afford them and those that are fed up of the chemically induced food...

I really like your style - even the cooking is not deep fried as most nja people like to cook chicken.

You are so meticulous!

Juliana7:
@organicfoods, thanks for this awesome and priceless info. When are we gonna start layers and fish organic thread? Thanks

These are my next projects... But these Noilers case dey really attract my attention!

skarlett:


Seriously o, enjoy jare

If you are in Ibadan, I fit give you one lap to taste lol!
