Which antibiotics would clear the fowl pox. Thank you in anticipation.

We had to queue for 2hours repeatedly to buy 2bags of feed for a farm that needed 12bags a day at the minimum. and the price of feed went up by 1000naira. It was so bad that our fat birds could now wiggle out of their cages because of weight loss. Some folks could not afford to buy feed at the current rate and had to sell of their layers for meet as they where not even laying again to assist in feeding.
In all I felt happy being associated in the whole mess as I made new farmer friends at the queue for feed. I have a good job already, I bring the cash my brother runs the farm and I assists when I am around.
We are now making arrangement to start feed distribution so we can have a say in the matter when the axe drops hard again like it did last year. This is our first time in poultry biz, we are hope full cos we wanna make a difference.
I got my resolve to start the farm after reading this thread over and over again, thanks guys.

my brother. in situation like this u need to network. there are some states where feed were not scarce like Oyo state especially in Ibadan. u just have to make contact and get your feed transported maximum of 24 hrs. then save itself of loss. pls join WWW. agricnetwork.com. at leat u get the experience now. keep moving.

@farmtech pls which feed do u use for ur birds, i've abt a thousand birds @ 5weeks and i'm currently using vital feed starter bt i don't want to continue wit it, i heard top feeds is better. Pls ur advice is needed.

Dont waste time, revaccinate immediately. After vaccination you can use neoceryl plus.

I use mostly vital feed but people say top is better. But the problem is that top is scarce sometimes in my area, so I've not used it. It is more costly too.

Do you still sell eggs @newparts?

its beta to start with POL cos it is less risky and less stressful, but make sure u get dem frm a reliable farm. I suggest HOPE farm in IB.

i tot we were advised on this forum not to use fence as part of poultry house as it wil prevent cross ventillation? also i think ur blocks are already higher than where it should be.

Sorry my brother, I came back Saturday evening, just saw this message now, too late.

like farmtech said, topfeed is good. that is what am using but the cost is high. for layers we buy N2,400(plus transportation) but you can get other feed below N2,300. am considering changing to other products(supreme, hybird, livestock) or i will mill my own feed.

you are doing well. please reduce the height of the block. you need to increase the air movement in your pen since the fence is already part of the pen.

also if you are going for a long term business, i will advice you to start with DOC. but if you need qucik cash and you have the money go for POL but ENSURE i say ENSURE you buy from a reputable farm.

I actually memtioned my worries about the blocks being high but the floor will be filled which will now bring it up. Because of parking space we had to join it to the fence and also the wind there is usually high.

Lagos Ayobo to be precise.
