Limamimi:.. You can estimate how much to feed your birds from the chart here: http://www.farmersjoint.com/blog/livestock-farming/poultry/feed-consumption-plan-body-weight-target-laying-hens/. Did you formulate your own feed? If so you have to make sure it is well balanced. 1 Like |

Nbg4real:.. There is no fix rule here. It depends on the area. If you're area has high cases of disease incidence, then use antibiotics to brood. |

Mykeolinks: wao 540 birds sounds like alot to test run.... |
Re: Starting A Poultry Farm (a Blog) by Mykeolinks: 2:58pm On Dec 30, 2015 |
2baga:It's not really a test run, I'm just trying to apply all the knowledge I've been able to gather both from nairaland and as a broiler farmer into egg production albeit on a bigger scale |

Mykeolinks:.. Ok, but you have to be careful. Did you calculated space requirement in terms of 5birds/m2? That's the one suitable for hot climates. 1 Like |

Ok, so I have good news. I got 30 6-week old turkeys today. . I'm so happy. My first foray into bird farming. My parents have fully grown turkeys and chickens, so I just took out a section of the farm house to use for my birds. To recap, they are actually about 7 weeks old. The breeder said she had given anticox. I bought a bag of top feed chick mash, and placed them on antibiotics, will give them multivitamins in 2 days. I will deworm on Saturday. I will give lasota on January 10, and change to growers mash after they finish this bag of chick mash (mid-January?) Luckily, we have experienced farm hands which should help a lot. Any suggestion/advice would be well received. Have a prosperous New Year!!! P.S.- Attached is a picture of the the breeders stock at her home farm. 1 Like

Hello house. I am a new turkey farmer, with 30 6-, week old birds. I have heard that it is recommended to separate the birds with a male:female ratio of about 1:4. This is to ensure proper fertilization of the females(because I plan on collecting and hatching the eggs, and selling off the hatchlings), and also to prevent fighting (something I witnessed firsthand! ) So, I would like to know if keeping the turkeys in pens would disrupt the organic farming I'm aiming for(less fat when they are table-size) Any other advice would be appreciated (eg best feed to give, when to change type of feed[chick to growers mash], any precautions to take, etc.) P.S.: They are still on top feed chick mash. How may weeks old is it advisable to switch to growers mash? I plan on using top feed throughout, because I heard it is good for laying female turkeys. any contrary opinion? Happy belated new year. |
