Hi Daniel good day. I'd like to acquire your fertile eggs to be delivered to Philippines. How much it would cost for the minimum orders including shipping? Thank you.
It is never about age, 30 sano ayaan jiraa hawshaanna waan ku jiraa, 800 layers ayaan marsiinayanaa hadda. Do it now sister, you look nothing more than a teenager.
Nice Video Daniel . You give a fairly balanced argument for deep litter vs cages (although you are clearly biased against the battery cage system) .I agree with your assessment-Cages are more commercially viable -less labor required for maintenance,less space,easier disease control and egg collection (lower risk of damage and vices )and cleaning.I think the manure from cages is better because it’s pure and not mixed as is the case with deep litter . deep litter manure depends on what material was used initially (coffee husks/wood shavings ) and how long it spends in the chicken house as well as effects of water spillage which make it harden .It can be quite exothermic when applied directly to plants causing wilting . Having tried out both free range and deep litter ,I understand the moral dilemma with cage system . But I believe as a farmer you have to set out clear goals and follow through. Chicken should be free to roam around but we still keep them in enclosures so as to manage their production more effectively. Battery cage system takes this to an extreme many are uncomfortable with .
"Thou shalt not judge" and "Follow your conscience" but "I'll never, never keep my birds in cages". Speaks a lot about you Dr.Daniel. The biggest challenge is when we become commercially successful or face crisis we forget our farming principles. On the other hand your objectives outweight your wealthiness. Your passion is a great inspiration especially to those farmers in Africa and developing Nations. It not just important to have commercial success but we need to keep in mind the life of farm animals and their right to a good life in their life time. I would still stress barnyard poultry are a way more safe and happier than unhappy caged birds.
Thank you so much for the videos, they are so educational. I would also like to go into poultry farming. I think deep litter is the best but due to my limited space i have to go for cages
Iam out, i will never think of battery cage system again. The reason why i wanted it was because of easy management since i wont be at the farm 24/7, secondly the labour is way cheaper and lastly, eggs dont easily break as they just roll and boom ready for collection and also easy to clean etc...... Okay after your detailed explanation, i will never use battery system. Oh i love chicken breast but not bruised with with cages...
@@AMANFIFARMSthis people are just being emotional. When it comes to business, I believe one should use what is profitable otherwise even for cows which is more profitable in zero grazing we will be told to go back to traditional cows whose production is so low. This is business, they should stop with their nonsense sentiments n emotions.🙄🙄
Am quite amaze by you n your job ,concerning the poultry farm, you r such a nice guy really helpful. Thanks a lot.... One thing has cross my mind n that oblige me to ask a simple question to you, please can you make a video that shows how the chicken lays there eggs, n how you pick them all,,, plz don't mind thanks in advance, take care
Thank you my brother, you really are a good teacher. All these information came handy and useful. We are in the planning phase of starting this business
I have a free range/deep litter chicken farm and If you automate a lot of the feed and water requirements, it makes it easy for you to manage. Animals know how to take care of themselves if the resources are there for them. I spend about 30mins per day with a flock of 5000 broilers . Cages are convenient but also more startup costs and just cruel. You won’t have good production .
I want to start poultry farming but i don't have books to read and know how to control diseases and how to keep chickens both layers and broilers doctor Daniel please help me. I always follow you on UA-cam am a Zambian (solwezi town)
I always dream to start my business poultry but its hard for me to get chickes. May i know how long will it take to reach me chickes to my location. Bossaso Somalia. I need 5k 1day old chickes
cages are an abomination. i would never buy eggs that have come from that cruel system. though deep litter is much better, there is a maximum amount of chickens per metre that is acceptable. beyond that amount that system is also cruel. the best of all is free range where the chickens have access to grass/soil, to scratch around, which is their natural behaviour. i hope that (in time) you become a free range set-up. your chickens will love you for it, and so will i !
I am for deep litter system. Watching birds in the cages always leave me feeling sad being that it's a maximum prison for a harmless creature. As usual, you did an excellent job in this video 👍
I'm a newbee in poultry farming after watching your lessons I have been inspired but at the same time, I feel like I have made a wrong choice to start with layers. 😨😂
I’m just simple.. have 10 chicken in a 15 by 15 coop double layered with a roof over the laying half. Get from 7-10 eggs daily. Zip tie their legs and every 2 years harvest and replace.
Good assessment. But know that ammonia generated from accumulated droppings in deep liters, inhibit egg production. Especially if great efforts are not made to remove the droppings, often. Ammonia reduce ovulations. Thanks.
Hello Daniel, I have a farm in Uganda/ Tororo though I’m based in London. I use deep litter system but I use automatic water drinkers. The cage system is very cruel way of raising birds and most countries are outlawing its use. I have 2400 layer chicks delivered to my farm end of this month to add on the 800 layers already in the farm. I watched your formulation video on feeding and I observed you still use old school method which can be very frustrating to resource the ingredients. I use broken maize and brand and concretes . This kind give a better performance than the old school feeding method .Maybe we can share ideas you visit my farm and give us more tips. I started my farm with pigs which I still have few sows as I got rid of most as performance was poor. Thanks
Nice videos...I have been watching your channel ever since i had the desire to start poultry farming.. i have just secured my land in Ghana for the layer poultry farm even though I live in the UK. I need more information bro.
@@FarmUpplease I have few questions. 1. what are th stages you need to vaccinate these layer chicks. 2. Do you vaccinate your chickens yourself or you use a vert. 3. What sort of vaccines do you give them and how do you get them.
Thanks for the video. I appreciate. This is mt next venture, in October. And i have learned a great deal from your videos. I would like tk know how much i need ti start up, for everything. And i only have a 100 by 50 plot of land. How many birds can i do on it. Lastly do i beed to fence up the land for security purposes? Won't it hurt the birds? Thanks alot..

It's never too late. Make it happen.
Never too late... started mine with 1500 layers in 2019 and now at 2500 at age 40...by 50 I will be at 100,000birds
I wish that too
I am doing it right now.
Please make a video and show us how to clean the deep litter system poultry house effective.
I really want to know this because for more birds like 500 or more is stressful, do you move the birds out or how....
@@flotastyfood for more effective management, put as little as 100 birds in one space. Things will be very easy that way
I started with 200 broilers two Fridays back. Thanks for the informative channel. Watching all the way from South Africa.
You're welcome.

Battery cages which is what I use at my farm will save you a ton of money, and lots headache over time... especially disease control

your so kind to animal i admire you in caring your bird God bless .

This is a Very good idea and advise for new farmers brother ❤️ thank you

His energy alone in the first minute got my like. Stay passionate about poultry my brother
Thank you my brother, you really are a good teacher. All these information came handy and useful. We are in the planning phase of starting this business
This guy's brain is running so fast that I don't think his mouth can keep up with it. Love him. I wonder if his patients can keep up ?
So Glad to be part of this channel at the early stages learn so much from you.
What is the risk of not having concrete floor or use a deep thick litter on the soil floor to cut cost? Thank you in advance!
Thank you for the advice. Just got to know about your channel as suggested by UA-cam. So inspiring.God bless you and your business 😊
Thanks for this. Was just thinking of which to go with.

I spend about 30mins per day with a flock of 5000 broilers . Cages are convenient but also more startup costs and just cruel. You won’t have good production .
So happy to see that you don't use cages. Chickens feel pain as well.Thanks for raising them humanely.
Im going to start soon and i dont jave monet for cages.my question is,how will i clean the poop.and how should the floor be structured?
You should lower your flock size, they are pecking their feathers. The meat and eggs will be better with less crowding.
I also don't like the idea of locking the chickens in cages. It's like you are imprisoning and keeping them as slaves.
That's not Afrikan.
This guy is just too much.
Hello farm up, do you recommend a storeyed structure for a deep litter system for someone with a small land? Thx

If I want to start up with 1000 chicken layers in Uganda how much money is needed from day 1 to 4 months
Already looking forward towards your next video. God bless.
Thank you
Dr. Daniel, please how do you eradicate the stench adopting either the deep litter system or battery cage?
What can I put in the floor for my baby chicks besides wood chirps
I do not support cages. I think it's cruel and inhumane.
cages are an abomination. i would never buy eggs that have come from that cruel system. though deep litter is much better, there is a maximum amount of chickens per metre that is acceptable. beyond that amount that system is also cruel. the best of all is free range where the chickens have access to grass/soil, to scratch around, which is their natural behaviour. i hope that (in time) you become a free range set-up. your chickens will love you for it, and so will i !
The lesson is very gud .
I would appreciate more view of the bords and a little less of u
Hello Daniel. i want to start with 300 birds but i need to what stage is best for debeaking.
The litter from deep litter should be turned to compost before its taken to the farm. If not you are going to kill your soil.
Manifestation..2 years later he owns..a whole animal farm.
Very insightful especially for someone like me who's doing research & planning to start
am kenyan student, i have 15Gs , how can i start a cage one or what can be your advice?
Deep litter will always be better the birds have freedom in battery cage it's like they are in jail lol
omg you are so cute and funny 🎉 i love this channel
How much is cage for 200birds
How much is cage contin 500bir
I love the way you explain, am watching you from Morocco
Thank you
Indeed I would like to visit ur Farm
Did you cement the ground of this your cage?
I love your videos
You can construct the battery cages DIY
Wode Maya aka Ghanaian baby brought me here, big up for your inspirational series
I will be getting some layers too, watching all the way from Zambia, thank you for you information
How many diseases which are in chiken ? And at what stage can we treat that?
Hi! Dr. I just want to know one thing
Can we get fertilized eggs in battery technique by putting rooster for every cages?
Yes,we can for natural mating eggs
Thank you for being honest
Must u cement the ground of ur deep litter cage?
I don't like people who talk much
Give names for feeds of broiler and layers
I am for deep litter system. Watching birds in the cages always leave me feeling sad being that it's a maximum prison for a harmless creature.
As usual, you did an excellent job in this video 👍
Thank you
I think the same it not good for the animal
Not good for animal and not good for humans either. Cage free organic is best way to go
Bro please teach us on how to breed a layers ♥️🇵🇭
God bless you bro 🙏♥️🇵🇭
I'll make a video on that
Dan how best to start with 500 chicks,
@@OKOH. how its going?)
Please made a video on it also...
Nice teachings we love you too
Hybrid?....deep litter weekends.... battery cage during the week.

Why don't you free range
Yep cages seem cruel same as some intensive pig farming I have seen to
How often do u change litters?

Hi Kenny

In the Deep litter system, how long should you take before you change the litter?
As long as they get dirty
Your videos are so informative.
Thank you 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👌🏿

When is the right time for chicks to be given multi-vitamin and to be vaccinated?
Early morning is best or late evening

@@FarmUp Thank you for your quick response any advice on the best way to keep the poultry warm. I use charcoal in a brazier
