Cool!......Also realize that the effectiveness of those email addresses really depends on your emailing strategy.You need to write something that will entice the client,and also give it a subject that wont have it rejected as spam.

Kindly keep me posted.

@ kanyimwa
My mum has used Ideal chicks from Naivasha for 5 flocks bila issues.

As for your predicament,the chicken feed could be an issue. Has he introduced layers mash to the flock? Did he wean the chicks by introducing the layers mash gradually? You need to serve adequate amounts to the flock,not necessarily going by the book.
Again,Is the place hot or cold. My take is that hotter environments are better for layers. But by 5th month,the layers should get into their biz - LAYING.

All the same,biashara ya layers iko tamu

the world has enough for everyone

Thanx Fuchu

He introduced layers mash rather late,at the fourth month. He used to feed them as per the guide provided by the breeders. No excess feeding to avoid wastage. The place is moderately hot so the issue of cool temperature does not apply. Besides,he provides 24 hour lighting to the birds.

Will advise based on the info provided here at SK. Thank you once more guys

Good feeding will accerelate the returns.

There is also a place in Kerogoya with great demand for Kienyegi chicken. Ready market and immediate cash payments. (check for Kibera's if interested)

Poutry farming will never go wrong with good feeding and proper medication.
