Thanks bro for the insights. What's happening to their feathers?

Selenium deficiency or likely they turn out massive body before feathers can cover. I know just how to fix this...but not much of a problem for now though.

Turks:
Wow! A job well done! #TakingNotes

I created this space for them!

Turks:
They need bigger space. You've not moved them still sir. I can see a cluster.

It is during cleaning I weight they tend to cluster. I have moved to a temporary space. The carpenter is still dulling things for me. The space they have now is big enough

Weight After 21 Days:
Highest weight = 777g
Lowest weight = 415g
Average Weight = 617g
Total weight = 30244g
Numbers of Birds = 49g

So far so good, looks like this result will allow me tamper greatly with feed formulation in my next project. Cheaper feed substitutes or additives to feed will go a long way to reduce cost of production without compromising weight gain.

777g highest weight at 3weeks. Those wey dey consume chicks can use bold face eat this without problems.

Results has been remarkable so far.

Nahim name himself turk.s o

Hiaaa

Sir, but Calcium phosphate supplement is inorganic.
Or is it organic.

Can be produced from organic materials!

Meanwhile, one is crumbling under it's own weight. Time to add calcium phosphate supplement into their water.

670g this morning. This guy turned his face away from the camera, obviously ashamed of his own weight.

Weight after 18 days, having consumed 2 bags of broilers starter.
Highest weight = 609g
Lowest weight = 348g
Average weight = 486
Total live weight = 23799g
Total No of Birds = 49

Edited:
Feed Conversion Ratio = Total weight of feed consumed/Total weight of Birds
FCR = 50000g(Two bags of Broiler starter consumed)/23799g(Total live weight gained by chicken) = 2.1
FCR = 2.1
Average FCR for Broilers = 1.8 - 2.2

We are within acceptable standard so far.

I collected a few yesterday and already started the process. Added some "organicfoods molasses" and water.

I went out looking for comfrey today and guess what I found! Comfrey unveiled

Turks:
Kinday let them know the source if your birds which is a great determinant as as regards the organic practice.

www.facebook.com/AvianPlanet

Who am I to overlook my very reliable source www.facebook.com/AvianPlanet . To attain success in poultry, the source of the chicks are crucial, Turks was really excellent and reliable, I recommend you contact him if you intend to buy your chicks, very reliable...bro be prepared ooo I am in a discussion with some folks planning to invest big time on this project already and we will be sourcing from you. www.facebook.com/AvianPlanet all the way.

Originalsly:
Following.... is it 1 mortality only? .... and how do you keep track of the chicks?...do you tape a number to their legs?...don't even try telling me you know each by face!.. whatever method... I want you to note and note well... Chicken #1 and Chicken #2 MUST be sold to me!..EOD.

No I do not mark them individually. I have only two mortality, I was supplied 51 chicks when I bought 50. I weight them regularly and keep tab on average weight. So to buy #1 and #2 na church mind we go deploy! lol

Very much like comfrey...But a bit different, I have a feeling it will be full of nutrients as well. You can ferment it and see how the result turns out.

Isonguyo1:
welldone bros. I think you document this for the benefits of other farmers who does not know how to go about it.

Yes this project is for the small scale farmers to grow their own broilers with cheaper alternatives that works. Several other things involved like control of liter borne diseases using microbes and water purification are been documented for the ordinary farmer to be able to do their own production successfully trust me.

Weight at 17 days. All birds appears to be on "weight gain steroids" without any synthetic drugs. Now they are on combo cocktails of organic nutrients and antibiotics. Who is afraid of organic poultry production?

Jofez:
bro if its your first time don't go organic yet

Your points sir?
Meanwhile weight after 16 days.

RoyalMail:

How can we get or produce it and it's usage.

I will be doing a comprehensive posts on ways to manage fungi disease with an effective cheap Bio-Control system soon.

Toks07:
Well done big bros. So proud of you.

Thanks dear!

Broad chest and lovely body pigment...all 49 birds in excellent health after 14 days.

Average weight after 14 days = 320g
Lowest weight = 219g
Highest weight = 401g
Total weight of 49 birds = 15698g

Bacteria wilt is the greatest problem of tomato farmers other vegetable farmers. I am glad to introduce to you a bullet proof solution Trichoderma Viride a kind of beneficiary fungi that can be used to effectively handle the disease

Junki04:

I need to get in touch sir! maybe your mail or something, need an advice

You can chat me up on whatsapp. 08034342637

Shoelace1:
how do you go about it? I also want to start organic farming but I'm still learning from you.

There is a long way to go, because a lot of synthetic materials associated with commercial poultry management that is detrimental to human health...we will seek to replace them with effective natural herbs. From housing to feeds, drugs to vaccines, nutrients to vitamins...a lot are being used presently. The journey first is to deal with vaccines and drugs, then feeds, vitamin and nutrients. My experience so far tells me there's more to nature that can be unearth with super results that will put drugs and other synthetic enhancer to shame...luckily I have a firm foundation that can go all the way to attain success. For Africa, we must earnestly look for cheap alternative to poultry production that reduce our protein short fall and improves quality of lives. My dreams are huge, I really want to see a lot of people prosper in agriculture.

Weighting time!

Shoelace1:
. Bros, what do you feed them with?

I mix dry feed with fermented ones in molasses containing Lacto-Bacillus.

shakyriri:

You can get at Ogunpa/Labaowo around the CBN office. Just ask around.

dapsonlou:


I have no idea, I'm not into Poultry, My Secretary brings me fresh eggs for free all the time, that's why I asked her and she told me about her father's farm. They are Ibadan People, so maybe that's where they are getting it from.

Possible...Poultry and Ibadan are like that popular Jacob Zuma's pictures. lol
