December Chicken Is For Novices by ublight: 10:23am On Jun 11, 2020 |
. Before u come here to argue what u do not know, just take a chill pill and read on. If u have the money, rear your birds now and leave december chicken for novices. There is always a glut of poultry during that period besides the hike in prices of feed. Every year i get many stories of how people lost money doing december chicken due to three factors i am not going to discuss yet. If u must do december chicken, make it few. 3 Likes |

Oga I start rearing my Chickens during September and by that time the Feeds and supplements aren't always expensive Then I sell it at Higher rates during that period |

Nezzjnr: That is what he is trying to explain. That you are a novice. Think about it before you argue. Will it not be better if you can raise chicken profitably throughout the year instead of raising them for only 4 months of the year from September to December? People eat chicken all year round, so why will a wise investor refuse to raise chicken all year round to meet the all year round demand? Don't you think those who refuse to raise chicken to meet demand throughout the year are truly novices? 4 Likes |

Atlanticfire: Nigerians eat Chicken throughout the year. I grew up in a home where we reared chickens and turkeys. Initially, we only raised Christmas and New Year Cockerels. We would raise them from September to December and start selling them a week to Christmas. The sales of our Cockerels would continue till around January 5th of the next year. What I noticed was that we still had close to 50-70 Cockerels left after the Xmas and New Year celebrations had ended. However, before the end of February of the next year, People would have bought the remaining Cockerels. This means Chickens can be sold from January to December ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 1 Like

sodeeqsulaimon88: Seems you need ideas about marketing your birds. Nice one. Make sure you raise healthy and meaty birds first. If you have healthy and fleshy birds, you will attract customers very quickly. Personally, I believe Cockerels ( Spotted or White Cockerels ) are good to raise from January to December. They are very strong and are not susceptible to diseases like Broilers etc. They are also meaty when raised properly. Old layers meat is not very nutritious for consumption. To sell your chicken, please put a sign at the front of your house- ' Chicken For Sale '. Make the sign very bold with the picture of a Cockerel on it. People passing by will see the sign and start coming to buy chicken from you. This is how it starts- Word of Mouth advertising. Before you know it, everybody in your area knows you are selling Cockerels/Broilers for consumption. You can also advertise your Chicken business on Nairaland, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram etc. There is also Jiji Nigeria to advertise on ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 1 Like |

Redman44:I think i got your explanation and thanks so much I'll try that cockerel towards ending or probably next year buh don't you think the cost will be much raising cockerel from january to December 1 Like |
Re: December Chicken Is For Novices by Redman44(m): 3:57pm On Jun 16, 2020 |
sodeeqsulaimon88: Cockerels take 4-6 Months to mature for consumption or sales. You don't need to raise Cockerels for a year. If you feed your cockerels well, they can achieve table size in 5 Months. So you can raise Cockerels twice a year. To maximize your funds, you can focus on raising the White cockerel. It is much cheaper when you purchase them at a week old or day old. However, the price is the same with spotted Cockerels when you are selling them. I have experience in raising Chickens because my late father owned a Poultry up till 2010. You can also make your own feed by yourself. Do some research online. You can save a lot of money by making your own feed by yourself. There are feed millers all over Lagos State. I have attached the picture of the white cockerel to this post. Have a great day.

The post also has lots of information about raising Cockerels in Nigeria. Please read through the whole post and you will get useful information you need towards the success of your Poultry business plans for next year.
