@ Gathige
i requested you for the feed formultion to no avail.
please share with us for the chicken,.

@PATTIE,

You can start with this feed formulation based on percentage total being 100 %. You can convert into Kilos.

Corn/Maize: 52 %
Roasted Soybeans/Cottonseed meal: 29 %
Crimped Oats 11 %
Feed Grade Limestone : 1 %
Fertrell Nutri-Balancer: 3 %
Fish Meal 0.5 %
Kelp Meal: 0.5%
Fastrack Probotic: 0.1 %

Total: 100%

Hope this helps.




It's not hard to make decisions when you know what your values are.

Thanks for the informative discussion. I thought i was alone in the high feed price and low egg price situation. I would appreciate if u know someone who can buy a lot of over 100 trays per week. Location Joska-Kangundo road. asanteni.

I have semi free range, been doing for the last one year in shags.
The returns have been fine so far. The eggs are sold directly to hotels and shops. The cocks are sold to wholesalers in bulk and also end users.

Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly Age...Moulting...Lightining...feed to egg conversion...during winter chicken tend to eat more...they need the energy to keep themselves warm..feed them more...im sorry if your profit margins drop...also check the age of your layers...old ones deserve to be culled...also lightining atleast 14hrs...sorry vitamins wont help.
