HENRIETTAPOWER: I hope you are not overfeeding or underfeeding them... 200layers will consume 1 bag of feed (25kg)...that makes 1.5bags (37.5kg) for your 300 birds. Give them fresh clean water always. And don't forget proper sanitation is also very important. |

Good afternoon, pls I have 2 plots of land 100 by 50 each. what is d maximum number of layers I can have on 2 plots given d fact that I have to build a small office and store in the land. please advise, I was thinking of 3000 birds, not starting all at the same time starting with little but I want to know the maximum capacity 2 plots can take.. Regards |

Bestofralph:Thanks. |
Re: Starting A Poultry Farm (a Blog) by Edroom: 7:19pm On Nov 09, 2014 |
chu14:good job sir! It depends on the type of housing u want and the capital at hand. If the 2 plots include brooding house and the office, that means you have a plot left for your farm, and that will accommodate about 3500 birds. |

aAK1. AmoBygn Finished Feeds is quite good. I've used it for 3 set of layers and have always gotten great result. However, I can't say much about their Finisher. |
Re: Starting A Poultry Farm (a Blog) by Eggcelent(m): 4:30pm On Nov 10, 2014 |
HENRIETTAPOWER. I've never heard about CapsFeed, so I wouldn't know if it is rich enough. However, I'll like to suggest that you give them artificial lightening. Let us say you put on bulb at the pen between 6pm & 9pm. As to the quantity being fed them, I'll advise you keep it at 90gramme/bird for now. Increasing it to 120g/bird now may be detrimental in the long-term. Meanwhile, why don't create a new topic about your concern? I believe more people will see it & may proffer needful solution. |
Re: Starting A Poultry Farm (a Blog) by Eggcelent(m): 4:35pm On Nov 10, 2014 |
adedam007:I think you should check online for the locations of Choice Farm and/or Animal Care. One of them should close enough to your location. |

Quite unfortunate I lost one of my friendly and active cockerel aged 3 months today to cardiovascular disorder(heart failure).No signs of illness,its well fed and ever active. Hope our vet Dr. Can diagnose early signs of this sudden death in poultry before it get out of hands. |
Re: Starting A Poultry Farm (a Blog) by HENRIETTAPOWER(f): 11:24am On Nov 11, 2014 |
Eggcelent:Thanks. I think Capsfeed is rich enough because I don't use their formula. I use my vet Dr formula but thank God One dropped today. So I still have hope. |
Re: Starting A Poultry Farm (a Blog) by Eggcelent(m): 3:11pm On Nov 11, 2014 |
HENRIETTAPOWER:That is good news. You may still wish to give them artificial lighting. It'll sure help. Success, pls |
Re: Starting A Poultry Farm (a Blog) by Nobody: 10:21pm On Nov 11, 2014 |
obnelly: so sorry. i never knew birds suffer from.heart failure. what was the bird thinking abt? Take heart oooo. dooo. Adieu friendly bird. 3 Likes |

[quote author=jamp post=27755585]Fellow farmers. The cost of getting commercial feed is going up. Can u imagin that top feed layers goes for 2500-2600. This is not good for us in abj considering d fact that jos people are selling cheaper than us. I want to change to a cheaper feed else I will end up working for people.[/quote @ Jamp, why don't you change to animal care feed, that's what I use, though the cost now is about 2150. |
Re: Starting A Poultry Farm (a Blog) by samshoz(m): 3:36pm On Nov 12, 2014 |
How can I boost cockerel's growth? |
Re: Starting A Poultry Farm (a Blog) by jamp: 4:23pm On Nov 12, 2014 |
@pet01 I changed to animal care sometime ago and the production dropped drastically. but when I went back to top feed d production rose again. I dont want to try animal care again, I want cheaper feed and same quality with top feed. am thinking of supreme feed. |
Re: Starting A Poultry Farm (a Blog) by obnelly: 7:21pm On Nov 12, 2014 |
jamp: Top is still the best. |
Re: Starting A Poultry Farm (a Blog) by jamp: 8:28pm On Nov 12, 2014 |
obnelly: but the cost is still high. jos farmers are selling egg @600 in abuja as against the 650 we sell. |
Re: Starting A Poultry Farm (a Blog) by kayelm87(m): 9:25pm On Nov 12, 2014 |

Re: Starting A Poultry Farm (a Blog) by pet01(m): 9:03am On Nov 13, 2014 |
jamp: Well I know when you change feed it always affect birds, I started with animal care feed and there production is superb |
