Tip: Keep temperature at 35°C in the first week and reduce by 3°C every week. Spread newspapers on the floor for the first 3 days so chicks can easily find feed and water.

Tip: Vaccinate on time: Day 7 - Newcastle (HB1), Day 14 - Gumboro, Day 21 - Newcastle (La Sota). Give multivitamins after each vaccination.

Tip: Give each layer 120-130 grams of feed per day. Always provide oyster shell or limestone separately for strong eggshells.

Tip: Use starter feed for first 3 weeks, then finisher feed. Do not give too much water at night so they can rest well.

Tip: Mix dried neem leaves, pawpaw seeds, and garlic with feed every 6 weeks. This helps remove worms naturally.

Tip: Do not allow visitors into the poultry house. Use footbath with disinfectant. Wash your hands before touching birds.

Tip: Vaccinate on time and avoid mixing new birds with old ones. Isolate any bird that looks sick immediately.

Tip: Face your poultry house East-West so the sun does not overheat the birds. Make sure air can move freely but no cold wind blows directly on the birds.

Tip: Turn the litter every week. Add new wood shavings when it becomes wet. Sprinkle agricultural lime to reduce bad smell.

Tip: Give cold water with electrolytes in the afternoon. Open windows and use fans if possible. Feed birds early morning and evening.

Tip: Write down daily: number of birds that died, how much feed you use, and how many eggs you collect. This helps you know if you are making profit.

Tip: Wash drinkers and feeders every day. Disinfect the whole house before bringing in new birds.

Tip: Give layers 16 hours of light every day (natural + bulb light) to get more eggs.

Tip: Pack eggs properly in crates. Use WhatsApp status to show fresh eggs to customers. Sell to restaurants and hotels for steady income.

Tip: Buy feed in large quantity when price is low. Mix maize, soya, and palm kernel cake yourself if possible.

Tip: Check your birds every morning. Any bird that stays away from others, stops eating, or has diarrhea should be isolated immediately.

Tip: Collect eggs at least 3 times daily. This prevents eggs from breaking and reduces the risk of egg eating by birds.

Tip: Dry and grind Moringa leaves and mix in feed. It increases egg production and keeps birds healthy.

Tip: Give broilers 0.1m² per bird and layers 0.2m² per bird. Overcrowding causes poor growth and disease.

Tip: Clean water is very important. A bird can survive many days without feed but will die quickly without water.

Tip: Remove birds that are not growing well or not laying eggs. This saves feed and prevents disease spread.

Tip: Start small, learn well, and expand gradually. Focus on either broilers or layers first before doing both.

Tip: Crush fresh garlic and put in drinking water 2-3 times a week. It helps fight bacteria and boosts immunity.

Tip: Keep feed in tight containers. Clear bushes around the house. Rats eat feed and spread diseases.

Tip: Poultry farming needs patience. Do the right thing every day. Results will come after 3-6 months.
