Yup! It's time to raise these large birds once again. This time around apart from the commercial feeds which will be supplemented with as time goes on, every other thing used will be 100% organic.

Total Numbers of Turkeys: 10.


Note: I will be raising 50 broilers alongside, but that isn't the subject of the project.

This foreign turkey project will engage varieties of potentially useful ingredients that could be added to the feed or drinking water of a poultry flock to improve production and as well help tackle disease.

Day 8

So far, everything seems to be going okay with the turkeys.

Organic medication given from Day 1 till present includes;

Day 1: Coconut water (on arrival)

Day 2 - 3: Cayenne pepper + ginger

Day 4: Tagiri extract

Day 5: ordinary water

Day 6 - 8: Bitter leaf extract

Zero mortality so far:

How much did u buy the turkeys? success on your poultry journey.

Revisiting & Starting up once again

Hey guys, so sorry I stopped this project along the way. I had to dispose them all back then at just a month. My bad, I take full responsibility (in Shagi's voice )

Nevertheless, in one of my all time favourite quote by Sumner “Success is not built on success. It’s built on failure. It’s built on frustration. Sometimes its built on catastrophe.”, It's time to do justice to this thread by bringing it to a conclusion by starting again from the beginning.

Due to low funds, i'll be doing just 3 foreign turkeys and 2 locals. Hope it counts sha?

(By the way, broiler starter don enter N8,500 - N9,000 ? . Where have i been? I didn't know when I gave out a loud shout). How much the main feeds go come be?

Was able to secure this deal.

Broiler Production For 4 Weeks
500 pieces

Note:

All other equipment to be used such as feeders, drinkers etc, already exists.

For better understanding of the project, a telegram group has been created.

Offer Closed pls!!!

Thanks

NOTE:

Most of the updates will be done on the group created for the project. & like I said in the group, every concerned member are free to come visit and stay at the farm house (You could learn a few thing first hand ).

Thanks All.
I really do appreciate you guys.

Been a long while. How time flies...

Make I just drop picture waka...

A picture of Amadi, my Male Foreign Turkey.

Just 5 months plus. (Gotten on the 13th of December, 2022).

Been trying to cut down their weights since I am only raising them for fertile egg production.

& they were purely organically raised.

Is it possible that the foreign turkeys 🦃 mate by themselves or you're planning to do AI?

It'll be nice to know how it plays out at then end. Pls keep us posted or mention me when you drop update on the fertility of their eggs.
