Now its getting very intresting! These chicken will be more than ready for christmas!

Statistic loading 4 weeks and 3 days. I actually starve them for a whole day before weighting the next day.

Ikenna17:

Bro, aren't you worried about the inadequate feather growth? It seems like a problem in my opinion because the birds are doing well in terms of growth and weight gain, but the feather growth is a bit suspect. Nice job though, I don't think I've ever seen poultry farming done this way.

Delayed feathering is not much of a problem...It's genetically connected. The females tend to feather well, while the male may delay...NA meat and flesh matter for now ooo...wetin person wan use feather do?

EmmaAjayi:
I have few broilers being reared for December. How can l boost their growth as Xmas is fast approaching?

How old are they...You can use lactose-bacillus and ferment their feeds.

shakyriri:

Monster loading? Already monsters sir.this is just abt 5weeks o

hahahahah You got me laughing real loud. They are 4 weeks 4 days today.

Monster chicken loading...

Kudos organic,
What are you doing about their feathers? Someone may thinks the way they are is due to some kind feather sickness.

The feathers are gradually coming on. I think it's hereditary from the parent. ..especially from the male, the females are well covered by feathers.

Growing bigger every day.

Isonguyo1:
please can you share the process of feed fermentation?

This is my approach. For every 3kg of feeds, I add 500g of molasses plus two table spoon of lacto bacillus. I add enough water to cover it. Allow to stay for at least four days... I continued to harvest small quantity every other day and add fresh feeds and water plus lacto bacillus forthnightly without exhausting the broth. What I normally do is to harvest some of it and mix very well with dry feed and give to them.. . It smells so refreshing

katchycouture:


I have no idea what they weigh, wld send in pictures tomorrow, I have not been too concerned abt their weight because they are strictly for consumption, 22 birds no death..

Weight wise, they will do well above average because you never stress them or alter their growth pattern with vaccines and drugs.

jfkenny:
Organic well done, please how much did u buy ur weight scale and what's the capacity..

I think around 4200. 5kg is the max.

Weighing time.

Watch video here; http://sendvid.com/7kb83ve8

So the chicks are one month old today...Check the statistic so far.
Highest live weight = 1124g
Lowest live weight = 589g
Average live weight = 877g
Total weight of Birds = 42972g
Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) = 2.3

Costs
Day Old chicks at N220 = N11,000
Transport of chicks = N800
Feeds consumed so far 4 bags. = N12840
Transport = N1200
Organic Nutrients/Antibiotics = N4000
Tagiri fermentation = N1500
Molasses (feed Fermentation) = N1000
Brooding Box = N3500
Total = N 35840

1kg before 4 weeks... Like this guy is gaining 100g daily right now!
Pen in progress!

jboi08:

Well done with the good job, can you state the vaccines you have administered so far?

Vaccines ke? ... No vaccines no drugs... NO WAHALA!

uzolexis:


lol, be like that one na #fitfam it's watching it's weight

face of culprit responsible for that lowest weight.

kayo80:


Nice. Abeg upload some pics. I am really feeling this your thread.

You don see the pix now!

Nearing one Kg before 1 month. Who does this, except for the organic farmers.. Vaccination do lead to stress in poultry and impede growth of birds. I am to let you know that without them you will do better with organic approach.

The broilers so for.

grownaira:


Good job boss. Any record on expenses so far?

Yes records are been kept. After the fourth bags of feed, I will share records.

Juliana7:
Wow! @ organicfoods, thanks for creating dis awesome thread. Pls sir, how do u control litter borne disease by using microbes? Thanks

Actually this is the strength of this method apart from growing them very fast. Most problems in poultry arises from litter borne disease. Most conventional way of production treat diseases while this method prevent them from happening by improving on the immune system of the chicken and securing their immediate environment/access to water and feeds. It is always very difficult to control chicks from feeding on their litters. The organic way of production is to keep them healthy right from their feed to water by using Lacto bacillus...These microbes occupies space within the litters and prevent disease causing microorganism from thriving. This the foundation of the so called Bio-security.

MrBONE2:
I have this feeling that those ones that weight below 500g might be the Ladies "LAYERS"among them.

You very right.. Some of them are trying though.

uzolexis:


The one weighing 449g though, where is it lagging behind seriously, the highest weight is almost 2ce it's size.

I just tire for the guy. . Others go dey eat him go mop around.

After 24 Days
Highest weight = 886g
Lowest weight = 449g
Average weight = 691g
Total weight = 33857g
Total numbers of Birds = 49

SShadow:
Nyc work O.P. Have they started eating the fermented feed yet?

Haba since na. I do mix regularly with dry feed... The fermented feed smells sweet... Honestly they are having a swell time.

wroskian:

I have been a silent follower of this thread and all I can say is you are doing a great job. Kudos Sir!!!

I got my BXs the same time as yours. Few days ago, I noticed diarrhea (watery poo) which is getting severe, I have been giving them vitalyte+dextrose from day2 except for days when I have to administer vaccines. I am not on the organic path though.
What can be done to permanently stop the diarrhea?

NOTE: I resumed giving them vitalyte after stopping 3 days ago to administer FP vaccine and honestly, they are feeding well. I must also add that I'm using the deep litter system.

What is the colour of their poo? Any pix?

cool318:


Great job organic foods. Don't you have any answer for me or I don't deserve any answer?
Any snail fattening organic formula? I don't mind waybill.
Thanks

Sorry bro! Of course snail size can be increased by increasing their shell size which can be done with some supplements which I havent tried. My next project is on fishery, promises to be intresting.

Done and dusted on over 800g.. This is getting very intresting already.
