brandsoncharlie: That's super cool. If one treats this as a serious business, it can be enriching in the end. But there are some that started with 2 and have a successful farm now. Make God bless whatever we lay our hands unto. |

idrisaleo1: Omo! Make sure you keep feed money for one side o. I remember when I started with 100 birds like 7 years ago. It got to a point, I was fasting, just so my birds would eat, cos I was short on cash, and those birds eat like crazy. Chai! That was one crazy time in my life. 5 Likes |

idrisaleo1:I was getting mine free in port harcourt because the timber I got it from , was too stressful for them to discard it and it was an added cost for them to find Laborers to discard it. Why would anyone want to even sell that thing self when they help you to discard it for poultry farms? I even gave free manures to crop farmers to use for planting maize, water leaves, vegetables etc because they help you to discard the excesses. no be everything them Dey sell. 3 Likes |

Farming is both fun and lucrative. When I was a kid, there was a chick depot near our house. They sold in cartons, but I was able to buy one for Nice one, OP. Good luck! 9 Likes 1 Share |

etrange: This your story reminded of when I was doing my youth service in a village in th east, and I was bored, so I went to the market to buy two chicks. I thought they were agric...but later found out they were local. They started following me everywhere. Imagine walking around your corpers lodge to see all your friends, and two black chicks following you about. Even when I would be gisting with friends or playing whot with friends, they will come and sit on my head or shoulder. lol! They thought I was their mother. Unfortunately, they followed me to see one of my friends one day, and while waiting outside, they ate ants that had been killed with Sniper, and it killed them. It was so heartbreaking...I had bonded with them so much. 7 Likes 1 Share |

How can I start this poultry farm |
Re: Starting Kuroiler Farm. Journey With Us. by wolebest: 2:27pm On Oct 18, 2022 |
idrisaleo1: Please make sure your birds are vaccinated. Vaccination is critical to mitigating unnecessary deaths of chicks. Get a Vet Doctor onboard your journey. God bless your effort. See you at the top in the next 4- months. They will be good and ready for Easter, particularly the Cockrels. 1 Like |

jinka: Watch YouTube. Guys like the Ugandan FarmUp, our brother DIY Agric, and Dexter's World will teach you all you need to know. Read and if you can afford it, go for training. If you wouldn't do any of those, subscribe to Rear and Care and let's do this trial and error till we all succeed. Follow this thread closely, too. We hope to give this all we have. 1 Like |

wolebest: Aamin. We shall be seeking professional support as we journey forward. We hope to start receiving fertile eggs we can hatch in the next four months. The plan is to, first, increase the number of birds. |
Re: Starting Kuroiler Farm. Journey With Us. by nickyvil: 3:27pm On Oct 18, 2022 |
idrisaleo1: Its not water dependent.. You calculate by the total birds you have that is why its in dosage. That is why there is no 1 dosage now. 100 birds will take 100 dosage, 200 birds will take 200 dosage e.t.c now this is what I do to be on a safer side.. If I'm taking 400birds I will give 500 dosages so the extra can start for any replacement or lose. 1 Like |
