WOW🤩🤩🤩🤩
Thankyou Minaa 🥰
Don't use markers 😢they dye will kill the chick's us a number 2 pencil
Honestly, I had no idea it couldld cause harmThankoyou u for clarifying.
Eggs/chick's can handle the cold as long as it doesn't get below 90 degrees for to long and humidity is a double edge sword. I dry hatch my chick and only add water 3 days before they are do to hatch. And I typically have a 90% hatch rate
Surprisingly, the incubator manufacturer advised obtaining the humidity level from the very first day. Those are good insights, and thank you.
Sir I have a question please what happens when youve sold out your first batch and your customers still need chickens but you're still raising your next batch.
In such a case, first of all, congratulations on making the sales. the next step would be to ensure you don't lose the customer. You can ensure it's by doing batch production or joining hands with fellow farmers you can trust in your areas to serve that market.
Hello, what about the borehole
Well, we certainly don't have one and since we are on leased land it's almost impossible to think of not to mention the cost involved.
Do you have a smaller one for 30 eggs?
not really sure there is but you can check with ecochickspoultry.com/
I would also want to know which other feeds do they give to piglets
Ideally it recommended to give sow and weaner for proper balance diet but if you cannot afford that I have seen home formulated meals and even pollard working wonders.
Woow so interesting
I'm glad you liked it!
weldone sir, i just watched one of your marketing videos and got lots of needed information from it after that i clicked this video. i am happy to see that you are making great progress. You have such a positive vibe about you and i wish you great success with Afrifama!
You are very kind, @OriginalAfricanTales! This is actually the nicest feedback I have received in a long time, and I am very grateful. I am glad to hear you found the vlog insightful and useful. I look forward to seeing you at the top. PS: I enjoy listening to your African tales as well. Good work.
I want to try poultry keeping this year
That's fantastic. It's a great goal, and I believe you can achieve it. My advice to you is to do the research first, then get the numbers right. That way, you will build a viable business. Let me know how I can help?
Medicine for waterbelly
I am curious, which medicine? For broilers ideally would be feed restriction but this can slow down the growth rate.
Nice work sir. Pls what breed of broiler is this flock. ?
Great job
@marymarie405 Thankyou 🙏🏾
Hello I am Ibrahim Muhammad from Kano Nigeria,I really want to get the azolla weed seed, but how can I get some?
@@IbrahimMuhammadMammadi unfortunately it's impossible.
This is amazing.. if I may ask.. where do u get your chicks from?
Hey Wanjiru 😊 I usually place an order from Kenchic.
Pls like how much is Gumboro vaccines
Usually depends with the dosage, from as low as 100 doses for Ksh 200 to 1000 doses for 1200.
Very clear explanation...thank you
Thankyou Philip, really appreciate 🙏
I made it by myself. I used WoodPrix woodworking plans for that.

Thanks for watching!
Hello I love your work I need seed of azolla How I can get it
Hello Jean, thank you for your kind remarks. Unfortunately, I am not in a position to get you the seeds. Ideally, you can get them from any farmers within your region as getting them from my end will be expensive and tricky.
@@Afrifama okay Thanks
What is the cause of chicks mortality during first week?
There are various factors which can be attributed to mortality, from lack of enough source of heat which leads to overcrowding and eventually stamped, to too much heat which causes heat stress and lastly, issues to do with general health, some chicks are just weak.
What is the best temperature for broader??
Around 30 - 32 Degrees Celsius!
Very very thanks ❤❤
You are most welcome!
Thanks ❤❤
Gracias!
Great preparation brothers hoping you can getting positive results.
It was actually successful. Thankyou though.
thanks
Hope this helps you get started!

Yes, I have already answered your question through this vlog here ua-cam.com/video/1p6gublWxwA/v-deo.htmlsi=Dg0mWM77CDHecSNV
Hy I'm looking for broilers market
kindly start from your local market, engage with the traders or some of enterprises which form part of your target customers. Also you can try to engage through social media and close cicles. Good luck.
Good progress mwalimu!!

Thank you.
You are welcome.
Good afternoon, please l need the azolla seeds inorder to start my azolla pond please l need your help
Unfortunately we are not in a position to supply, thankyou for your inquiry.
Which breed is this with no feathers on the head?? Cobb 500 or Ross 308??
@@arnoldceaser8417 I am not sure which breed it is but can certainly aks the suppliers next week. Though I have observed the Naked neck tends to adapt well to high temperatures like here in the coastal region and they have higher performances than normally feathered broilers (Cobb 500)
Where can I get this kind of drinkers
You can purchase them from any Agrovet or Kenchick depot near you or as well from online shopping.
