taiwoliu: taiwoliu...Yes its asbestos.. It's supposed to accommodate around 4000 birds but I intend to start with between 500 - 700(financial constraints and this is my first time).. Did this size cos I don't wanna worry about expansion on the short run |

hayor2014: God bless ur hustle. Can I expand mine cus the pen I have presently will not accommodate my chicks (pullet) in near future. They are currently 4 weeks old now. If am expanding, won't it affect them? |
Re: Starting A Poultry Farm (a Blog) by hayor2014(m): 9:26pm On Aug 12, 2016 |
IdisuleOurOwn: I can't honestly give you expert advice but I feel expanding after you had the pullets in will negatively affect the health of the birds |

hayor2014: Good job! Make sure you use automated drinkers, It makes things easier. If you live away from farm, increase the numbers to at least 1k so as to cover op costs and make profit |

Re: Starting A Poultry Farm (a Blog) by twoMcfemad: 8:43am On Aug 14, 2016 |
bosaty2003: Any change in feed? Have you checked Lice/worms, Lasota and Theft? Any mortalities? Were there droo in size, too. |
Re: Starting A Poultry Farm (a Blog) by bosaty2003(m): 8:47pm On Aug 14, 2016 |
twoMcfemad:[quote author=twoMcfemad post=48466347] none of the above. i just did monthly vaccination. infact the drop started after vaccination. |
Re: Starting A Poultry Farm (a Blog) by IdisuleOurOwn(m): 9:42pm On Aug 14, 2016 |
[quote author=bosaty2003 post=48483984][/quote] Is this your first time of vaccinating them when they start dropping eggs? I learnt that when you vaccinate laying birds especially when you "deworm" them, there will be a slight in egg production but, will later return to normal production after 3-4 days. Alakara, Babacele. |
Re: Starting A Poultry Farm (a Blog) by Babacele: 12:29am On Aug 15, 2016 |
IdisuleOurOwn:you are right hence u must administer vitamins immediately after giving vaccines or dewormers to help the birds. |

[quote author=tabontabon post=48491546]10bags For 150broilers For Just 4wks Is That Not Too Much? [/quote if a bird eats up to 1.7kg till 4wks. 150 bdx = 1.7*150= 255kg 255kg÷ 25kg(wt of a bag of feed)=10.2bags if u want to av an avg wt of 1kg and above. |

@hindsight. Interesting project and updates... I must giv you kudos. A bit of advise though, building to d fence ws not a brilliant idea for ventilation purposes, enof light wont make it into d pen even during the day. And in my opinion d pen is not high enough jst incase U may want to expand in the future. I will talk abt the roofing too, but let me not make my post too long. Once mre, kudos. |

Generally there is egg drop but it maybe whether induced |
