A difficult one if you ask me, since both birds exhibit virtually the same characteristics; An imitation of one another. Nevertheless, having breed both to maturity under intensive, semi-intensive and A total free range system, the kuroiler takes the trophy.

They are heavy birds with better feed conversion.
They are hardier birds compared to Noilers in a free range system.
Although the Noilers lays earlier (most of mine starts at the 4 month) but the kuroiler lays bigger eggs and more.
But my brother, Kuroilers dey chop oooooo!!!

jidestroud:
One more thing, aside the first sets of kuroilers sold into the the markets, I feel most are adulterated chicks. Lots of rubbish out there being sold at outrageous prices.

Toysakins:
thanks bro please which hatcheries can you recommend to me

Taystee:


Why don't you buy white cockerels, they're cheaper, high disease resistant, they're being sold for #4,000 per carton,#500 for sorting,total #4,500

trychris:
Please what's this disease called?

jidestroud:


it's a waste of productive time (personal opinion).

kayo80:
it's well

I'm telling you. I had not done this business in a while (for like 6 months), and went to the market yesterday to be shocked by the ourageous prices. 4 weeks Noilers I used to buy for 300-350 now sell for 650 naira. If you see how fast I walked away from the first person that told me that, only to be told the same price everywhere else. And I had already budgeted buying the 4 weeks Noilers for at least 350 naira. I also bought bag of starter for 4,100 instead the normal 3,600 I used to buy it at my area in Ibadan.

What the hell is happening.

after following this thread last week I decided to order 50 day old noilers and rear them for xmas(self consumption, no need for buying cow this year due to uncle Covid 19), hope I am not inviting snakes into my compound, lol. you guys on this thread are amazing especially the op, keep it up

jidestroud:


Blur picture, but that looks like coryza.

trychris:
Here is another picture

jidestroud:

I'm impressed. Keep it up boss, although some slight adjustments could be done by using trays instead of the feeding troughs at day olds.
Secondly, the water giving is a little to much for them. You end up wasting resources eg. Multivitamins, antibiotics etc, if you have to keep pouring the water away.
Any heat source?

Overall, I'll score you a iB+

jidestroud:
Compliments of the season once more.

Goodness, .

Hello sir,
I would like to commence a mini poultry project
Just for consumption but I would also like chicken that would lay eggs .
I would prefer 3weeks old chicks
20 to 30 chicks
What are your recommendation as to preferably breed and preferably source.
I want to eat chicken for Christmas so it a little urgent I think.

jidestroud:

Since you are targeting both meat & eggs (mostly meat for consumption), your best bet are Noilers/Kuroilers. I will have to say this, getting 3 weeks of the mentioned breed won't make it before the festive season ahead unfortunately. Why not go for 5 week or 6 weeks (you still have to feed aggressively), or simply get your broilers and compliment with a few noilers/kuroilers?

Source What's your location?

Okay boss.
So have you made up your mind on which you intend going for? Broilers? Noilers? Kuroilers?
I can help you source noilers @ 5weeks (mine is almost all booked and can't supply that number you mentioned above. Next batch starts up by 1st week in September & surely can't meet up with December market).

Quick Update

The Kuroilers poultry projects have a massive success for me. So far, I have been able to breed a thousand Kuroilers, selling at 4 - 6 weeks.

Thanks to all those who made it a reality.

jidestroud:


Layer is just a general name for female poultry bird which is reared for egg laying, you get? So bro, there are different breeds of chicken (hens) used as laying birds.

nams77:

OK. So which breed will u advice that can free-range without demanding for heavy attention and feeding.?
Thank so much
