Thinking about starting poultry farming, but unsure whether to choose broilers or layers? 🐥🥚

Start by finding out what customers in your area need!

🍗 Broilers are raised for meat.
🥚 Layers are raised to produce eggs.

Speak to households, local shops and food sellers. Ask what they buy, how much they need, how often they buy and what they usually pay. Find out who already supplies them and whether there is a need you could meet.

Interest is a useful starting point—but confirmed orders give you a clearer picture of demand.

Then compare your expected income with the costs of chicks, feed, housing, heating and transport.

Your market helps you choose your flock. Your budget and preparation help you decide how many chicks to start with.

💛 Know your customers. Start small. Learn well. Then grow.

🐣 BROILER or LAYER CHICKS — do you know the difference? 🐔🥚

Choosing the right chick starts with knowing your goal:

🍗 Broilers = raised for meat and grow quickly.

🐔 The final stretch—Days 35–42!

Your consistency is about to pay off. During these last few days, careful management still matters: healthy growth, dry bedding, fresh water and good airflow all contribute to a strong finish.

Prepare your market or slaughter arrangements early and avoid keeping broilers beyond their ideal weight unnecessarily.

🐥 BROILER GUIDE | DAYS 21–28

By Week 4, your broilers are growing fast — and good daily management becomes even more important. 💪🐔

At this stage, it’s not only about feeding for weight gain. Clean water, dry bedding, fresh air, enough space and proper rest all contribute to a healthier, more uniform flock.

⚖️ Keep an eye on weight and growth.
🌾 Feed consistently and minimise wastage.
💧 Never allow birds to run out of clean water.
🌬️ Ventilation becomes increasingly important as birds get bigger.
😴 And remember — rest matters too.

Small daily practices can make a BIG difference by slaughter time.

🌱 We don’t only sell chicks — we want to help you raise them successfully.

🐔 DAY 14–21 | WEEK 3 — THE GROWTH PHASE

By Week 3, your broilers are growing fast — and good management becomes more important than ever. 💪🐔

This is the stage where small daily habits can make a BIG difference to growth, uniformity and your final results.

🌾 Feed: Move onto Grower Feed and keep it fresh and available.
💧 Water: Clean, cool water must always be available.
🌬️ Ventilation: Fresh air is essential — without cold drafts.
🪵 Litter: Keep bedding dry, loose and clean.
⚖️ Monitor growth: Check your birds’ weight and uniformity.
🛡️ Biosecurity: Don’t let your guard down just because the chicks are bigger.
😴 Sleep: Give your birds a proper dark/rest period every 24 hours.

📊 Growth milestones:
Day 14 → ±450–550 g
Day 21 → ±900 g–1.1 kg

🌾 Feed intake guide:
Approximately 60–90 g per bird per day during Days 14–21.

Remember: Healthy birds don’t happen by chance. Good feed, clean water, fresh air, dry litter, proper rest and daily observation all work together.

❤️ Look after your birds — and they will reward you with better growth and better results.

🛡️ Biosecurity Starts Before Your Chicks Arrive

Medication cannot replace poor biosecurity. A clean, well-prepared broiler house gives chicks the best possible start.

Before chick arrival:

🏠 Remove all old litter

* Completely remove used bedding, feathers, dust and manure.

🧼 Wash and disinfect the poultry house

* Clean all floors, walls, equipment, feeders and drinkers with a quality disinfectant.

🌬️ Allow the house to dry

* A dry environment helps reduce harmful bacteria, viruses and mould.

🪵 Add fresh, dry bedding

* Use clean wood shavings or other suitable litter.
* Ensure the bedding is dry and evenly spread.

🔥 Preheat the brooding area

* Switch on heat sources 12–24 hours before chick arrival.
* Aim for a brooder temperature of 32–35°C.

🌡️ Check temperature and ventilation

* The house should be warm without drafts.
* Ensure fresh air circulation while avoiding cold winds.

🥣 Prepare feed and water

* Fill drinkers with clean, fresh water before chicks arrive.
* Place feed in feeders (or on clean chick paper for the first day).

🚪 Control access

* Only essential people should enter the poultry house.
* Use a disinfectant footbath or disinfect footwear before entering.

🐀 Pest control

* Eliminate rodents, insects and prevent wild birds from entering the house.

🩺 Inspect all equipment

* Ensure feeders, drinkers, heaters and thermometers are clean and working properly.

💡 Remember:

Good biosecurity prevents disease. Good management reduces stress. Healthy chicks require less medication.

Prevention is always cheaper than treatment.

🐥 BROILER GUIDE | DAY 8–14

Week 2 is where your chicks start showing their true growth potential. Every day counts, and the small things you do now will have a big impact on their performance later.

By Day 14, a healthy broiler chick should ideally weigh 450–550 g, with a target of ±500 g. If your birds are below 400 g, it’s time to review their management:
✅ Are they warm enough?
✅ Are they eating and drinking well?
✅ Is the litter clean and dry?
✅ Is there enough fresh air without cold drafts?

Healthy, active chicks that are growing evenly today will reward you with better performance at market age.
