Nazgul: Bro even hitler and idi amin have their own crew of devoted supporters,who come be tinubu? The fact is now matter how good or bad a nation is faring the leader will always have his cronies and critics. Don't be surprised those guys are getting some "goodies" as a result of their loyalty or hoping to get it in the future. But tinubu mess up nigeria really bad. If he can make buhari look like a saint,then you should have an idea of the magnitude of the damage. 2 Likes |

epainos: Thanks for this . Despite all the Challenges we farmers go through buyers of six weeks from us even tend to cheat buying at a lesser rate of 1950 per kg . How does that help the farmer to break even with high cost of Feeds, cost of DOC , Vaccination, just to mention but a few .nothing stops buyer from purchasing from farmers at 3500 per kilo life weight going by the cost of production and there should be a total ban on importation of frozen chicken and the likes 1 Like |

Emmabyte: Most feeds are manufacturered in Nigeria but some additives are imported. Maize, Soya beans are all too expensive. Plus diesel cost, etc. Tinubu is a monumental failure. |

Meaning that, a year old chicken should be, No of days -365 Cost price - 1,000 feeding (a plate 750x2) 1,500 Therefore, 365x1000x1500= ----- Whatever answer u get is the selling price. |

epainos: You might be right because alot of small scale farmers has left the business. The production capacity of farmers in Nigeria has dropped by almost 50% due to the high cost of production, particularly feed. Though demand could partly be responsible for that but the current surge in price of DOC might be due to low production by the hatcheries. This is only way they can control the price, and it is very easy for them to achieve because they are very few in numbers. 2 Likes |

[b] Do your local incubator in your house. Steps to follow. 1 Put sand in a transparent plastic, like this one people use to hawk assorted snacks. 2. Fix a rechargeable lantern on the lid, it will produce heat to the eggs. U can use kerosene lantern Put a small hole on the lid for temperature regulator. Set between 32-37. 3. Number the eggs on 3 sides with a small charcoal or marker. You will turn the eggs 3 times per day. 4. Set the eggs in the plastic, moist the sand a bit everyday. Plug the rechargeable lantern cos the light must be always on. Set your voltage regulator to any number between 32 and 37. Turn eggs 3 times per day for 21_22 days. On the 12th night, do Egg candling in the darkness. This is the useage of phone torch to light the eggs. Cover bucket with blankets every night for deep heat. Finish. If you buy a crate of eggs for about N4k, u get a chick for about N130. You can experiment this with 6 eggs only and check it out. You might watch video on YouTube for better understanding. Best of luck! [/b] |

We buy just few chicks of cockrels from those who resell for backyard farming to kill and gift peeps at Christmas year in year out, this year price was an all time high. Was able to get around 2 weeks + old in February at 700-750, I was still lamenting it was more than double the price of last year asked few weeks back it was already 1k, sure the retailers will sell more than that now. Some weeks back the guy said 4week old turkey was 10k each. Feed is also costing so high. I wonder how those who are into the poultry business are coping. If those of us with backyard chicken are complaining. |

Badmashiii:Immediately Buhari left power I crowned him the 'worst president Nigeria WILL EVER HAVE" because I didn't imagine in my wildest dreams that there would ever be a president worse than him as far as the name Nigeria is concerned.To me Buhari was a nightmare so I reasoned there can't be anything worse than a nightmare,right?

stagger:Ross 308 is good. Really, I'm not sure how Sayed's Ross 308 is inferior to Agrited's. I was tempted to buy Sayed one time, but I saw a youtube video where both hatcheries were compared from days 1 to 42, and Agrited won hands down. So, the management of Agrited seems to outperform that of Sayed. |

yemmit90:Yes, you are right. Overall, production has dropped, but the few farmers still buying have more demands than the leftover hatcheries. Well, since the borders have been opened for imported poultry products, it is a matter of time....the whole business will soon collapse. So, I am getting ready for such a day, and it is why I am starting my personal hatchery. I |
