Sorry guys for starting a new thread on Chicken when there is one existing.

Dont know how to tafuta them.


I came across a package being offered by Pwani Feeds where one buys chicken cages and 256 birds for 307k.The birds start laying eggs immediately.They barter your egg produce with feeds.They are buying the eggs at 260/tray and giving an assurance of 90% production.

Thot it was a good idea to share.

I am buying birds only 100 of them.

Hope to hawk my eggs at 290/tray.

Your views.

Before VAT.

I shall visit them next week so can give you finer details if interested.

Pwani. This is in Mombasa ama ni jina tuu?

Sorry I dont know how to post photos hapa.I would have done it

But from what I saw its some sought of grills that are in 5 layers and the edges are bound by some plastic finish where the birds lay the eggs.The same has been designed in such a way that the waste collects neatly underneath.

@small chick,

Was in forum where those numbers were disputed. That customer had to run to sigma for feeds.. The laying was 50% and there about.

310 might be way too high...sasa mayai inatoka kwa museveni..you can't compete with them.

Thanx for the info @ Wairegi.

I have visited them twice and my little assessent is that the uptake is slow for the combined product.ie birds and cage.

Farmers are either buying the birds only @ 850/bird or the cages @ 86000 which are quite space friendly.

Are you suggesting the Sigma Feeds are cheaper?

pwani feeds are crap... esp broiler feeds
ni hayo tu.

@kenmac, Most animal feeds producers have compromised feeds quality due to lack of required raw materials. The animal feed market has been infiltrated by people with purely commercial interests with little focus of quality.Most feeds are purely crap

There is a vet doc somewhere in Ngong who used to make chicken feeds and he had the formula right.I did trials when i was doing chicken farming and it worked well and he could change formulations when necessary. Will check his contacts and share.

Did you get the contacts? Kindly share.

The best feeds for indigenous commercial egg farming is crickets, worms, beetles and grass.

Contact me for details.
