sophy17:



Pls how much does this cost?
Planning to buy some.

Their price depends on the age and size of the bird

GMO stands for genetically modified organism.. which means actively altering the genome of an organism by knocking out or adding a new gene that was previously not inherent in the organism. example is the glowing mice. Your explanation points at heterosis and not GMO

We learn every day

Owlumeday:


You do have a great point, apart from the GMO part which i disagree with.. there is nothing genetically modified in noiler. The right term would be genetically improved.

I admit it was a wrong choice of words as nothing could come up to mind in order to drive home the message as at the time of the write up, my bad I must say... but the good thing is that the message was understood clearly

excanny:


So what I'm actually asking is if free range has any advantages than rearing local chickens in enclosed place? Because free range isn't feasible for me in my area as they keep disturbing my neighbours or get stolen or killed by predators.

Would they gain same weight in free range vs reared in cages?

Free range actually saves you the cost of feeding the birds. However, I acknowledge that it can be challenging where you don't have space and with the spate of hunger in the land, they are susceptible to being stolen.

If you want to keep them for your consumption alone, then I encourage you to put them in a cage. A carpenter can construct a makeshift hen pen for you.

adetoyeshe:
This project am embarking on it about developing our local chicken in Nigeria ,the Fulani ecotype by improving its breed with the exotic breeds of broiler and noiler.. cross breeding method..
I will be updating you as I proceed.

I am interested, would collaborate with you if you want us to do this on a larger scale.
kudos.

..alright no problem.. much thanks

It is nice to see them healthy and growing.
Will get their rooster tomorrow before travelling back to work.
The advantage of having them is that they don't need much care and monitoring. Just feed them in the morning and evening.

Bros. I need these birds. How can I get them.

Kehfie:

That's too expensive for a grower .... How much then will a full grown be?

It's okay if you're in Lagos, Abuja or PH... Any other places will have lesser patronage of this kind

.. this is a Noiler breed not a local rooster. I selected it because it has the features I need in a rooster.. moreso the same size were bought for slaughtering during the ileya festival. It is a big cock but not yet matured for mating
