We're visiting Mzee Chicks Farm and getting the lowdown on everything you need to know to start your own poultry farm. Whether you're a newbie or looking to expand your knowledge, you're in the right place! Structure & Space: You need a good setup for your chickens. One square meter can accommodate 6-7 chickens. Ensure your structure is well-ventilated and follows the east-west direction to protect against strong winds and rain. Stocking & Sourcing: It's crucial to get your chickens from reliable sources. Look for breeders with strong parent stock to avoid issues like slow growth and high mortality rates. Brooding Process: Brooding is all about raising chicks from their early age. You'll need a heat source, such as local pots, to keep them warm. The behavior of the chicks will help you regulate the temperature - they'll gather around the heat if cold or spread out if comfortable. Vaccination: Start vaccinating from day one to protect against diseases like Newcastle and Gumboro. It's important to source vaccines from trusted suppliers to avoid vaccination failure. Feeding: Quality feed is essential, especially in the first 90 days. Ensure you're managing feed efficiently to minimize waste. Consider supplementing their diet and allowing free-range roaming to cut costs. Don't forget to hit the like button & subscribe.
