Very sorry Doctor, but it was expected, my advice is to agree with your dad to refund you the cost of the structure and go and concentrate on the main big farm don't overstretch yourself, remember our road's in Uganda are death trap, commuting now and again you will loose focus a distance of 350-400Km is not a joke,in the first place you had made a right decision to quit your medical profession and concentrate on your small farm, luckily you got involved in a bigger farming project now the challenge is distance, focus on one location to maximise output

30 seconds in and I can already tell this might be one of the most important videos you've shared to date!

So sorry man, stay strong! Farming is hard and you can only learn from this. You will rise above this 🙏

So sorry brother. Biosecurity is very important

The lesson you learned was invaluable. The money you lost in the long run can be recovered. Your passion for your farm is priceless.

[@AddotaFarm]

It such a great loss Doctor D. Hopefully you get much better next time. This is enough to help other farmers. Sending loads of love from Nigeria 🇳🇬❤️.

[@emielvenaikedionwu5994]

Very very sorry Daniel. I know how you must have felt. It's like when my late husband passed away. I hugged him all night. Managed to sleep a little. The moment I. Opened my eyes 5.30 am he gave out a very long breath. Man it was a painful experience.

[@sserwangahannington4740]

Never give up, in farming we always learn through mistakes but it's always those who persist succeed, otherwise thanks for letting others not to fall in the same trap you are doing a very wonderful job my brother

[@gitacharlesz5894]

Mistakes are messages that give us feedback about life.Interruptions that should cause us to reflect and think.Signposts that direct us to the right path.Tests that push us toward greater maturity.Awakenings that keep us in the game mentally.Keys that we can use to unlock the next door of opportunity.Explorations that let us journey where we've never been before.Statements about our development and progress.

Sorry for your loss Dr. /Agripreneur. I started poultry too and I am passionate about it so I really share in your pain but more in your positive attitude to break through when we’re pushed against the wall. You’ll bounce back believe that💪🏾

[@Adokiye1]

I am so so much sorry for your lose. I can understand what you have gone through and cash lost, but just take care and do not play with the bio-security anymore. You have been an inspiration for me starting up mixed poultry here in Nigeria.

[@cdialpha]

You said it perfectly Dr -- every disaster is an opportunity to learn -- props to you to making the hard decision to cull. If you had to build again, would you build a second story again? Do you think that contributes to the circulation of airborne diseases?

[@user-zv7rc2pt2o]

Sorry for the lost but ❤have just encourage me. God bless you

[@adrianlunga4646]

Hi Doctor. Please give them aloe water ALL the time. It has natural antibiotic properties.

[@beverleyatuahene9554]

You need another way of raising your chickens, do it the natural way, farm grass fed chickens, research that, it omits the use of medications, now that you have tried medicine try organic, but make sure you understand the process and it should be cheaper.

[@redsailor101]

I'm doing that and still they all got sick and died...

[@arindajohnson8306]

If you're running commercial farms. Free range system of poultry is never advisable

It’s your soil bro. Your soil is the key to everything. You need to add a heavy IMO to the soil. This will balance out the bad microbes. Next, add you need to move them to a new area while there current area is healing itself. Ferment there food. This helps. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@annmarielyons73]

Dr DANIEL good morning sorry for your loss of those fouls. My mum who is 93 going on 94 said years ago her mother experienced the same sought of thing when they were small with some yard flows. What she did was use lemon juice or pieces of ALOES in each of the water pots for the sick ones to drink. Since you are not keeping them you can pass on the information to the other person or persons who will be taking them.

[@marywambuimathenge974]

I like your personality Dr thenks for educating us once again

[@vailankannidsouza7061]

So sorry to hear about this sad news but ups and downs do take place in business.take heart and expect better days ahead...we usually cut onions and garlic with turmeric powder and give the chickens whenever they fall sick and very often they recover.I too lost 3 chicks but I had one chick who was extremely unwell and couldn't stand for almost a month so I put her under the light in a box and kept feeding water and onions.She did recover and is now a year old.We do feed our birds with onions and garlic from time to time and fingers crossed they have been healthy so far.

Wow...I'm so sorry about the error sir......this will never repeat it self again and I pray God restore all as you grow bigger amen

you are my fav mentor when it comes to this business ...n I had this experience too but I didn’t sell the birds I just gave them a medication ...and now they are goin back to their performance ... the vitamins support them a lot ...and they say replacing the litter wouldn’t hurt but it actually affect their performance..

[@tedcash2834]

Doc, thanks for sharing this, it's not about your dad asking, and to your point it's about a bigger issue which is the elephant in the room; thus is it the deep litter poultry or cage poultry safe and necessary? I for one have been considering free range poultry, may be - just may be, could be the solution 🤗

Am sorry bro.Never give up,this is the journey of success.

[@glenbbqdavidson7131]

Heart breaking, My parents had brooders and I worked on a free range egg operation for 15 years so I know how much energy is sapped out of you when something like this happens. It's so hard to get birds back to exeptable laying figures after something like this goes through a flock. I'm Sure your doing the right thing cutting your loses and starting over. You've obviously got the right attitude and that's worth everything. Enjoying you videos very much thankyou.

My problem is poultry theft. I have never come across any good work er. Either they sell my eggs or the laying birds. No matter what i do for them. They prefer stealing. twice a month, I make sure buy some food stuff to assist their salary. e.g rice,beans,garri and other ingredients , they will thank me, the day they will steall. Have changed alot of workers, both male and female, they are all the same. I pay them well. Please advise me.

[@ajayijoel2405]

Sorry for the loss

[@bitslittle]

If this was me I'd clean up the lower house and take all the visibly sick ones downstairs. I'd clean the top again and treat everyone with AVC, garlic and DE. Also would feed scraps and fermented foods. I took over my neighbors flock and they weren't laying great, some sick and picking each other. It's unnecessary to kill them all and chances it will happen again. It's better to learn how to deal with it. Imo

[@gyisrael1626]

You are working very hard however, remember you cannot be in two places at the same time. Don't blame yourself for the mistakes but learn from them.
