Hello Dr. Daniel. I am relatively new here. I want to thank you for your very helpful videos. I have found them very educative. Now let's say you have already made the mistake of say building the chicken house against a wall. What can you do to salvage the situation?

[@Nmomo8691]

Thank you for ur advise please. Found it very helpful. Could u please mention the measurements of that chicken house u a sitted in and how many birds it can accommodate. Also can you brood day one old chicks in it or not please.

[@PoultryfarmGuide]

Layers: deep litters 1.50 square feet per bird. Cage 0.50 square feet per bird

[@mosenyakwargwayo2693]

Air ventilation matters a lot doctor

[@tituskingori]

Can you build a chicken house for layers, a house that is raised up above or is it must be just on the ground

[@marabeadsandbeauty675]

Its difficult to build this type in my country Cameroon,,robbers will steal allof it thesame day

[@mpkadvertising8098]

Hi Dr. Daniel... my name is Walter, i love your teachings coz am i very interested follower.... you inspire me big. However, can i roof my chicken house using grass for those of us who come from areas where we use grass for roofing?

[@udezeobinna6004]

I like the business

[@scarceshakul8140]

Nice

[@claytonbrown8355]

Hi Dr Daniel...would the birds be ok in winter when the bird house has so much ventilation

[@PoultryfarmGuide]

Of course not... this cage is for the tropics. The temperate region have different designs. Although, u can adjust the vent will tarpaulin if the weather changes.

Thanks very much, Dr. Daniel, for sharing this. This is very important especially for us upcoming poultry farmers. I have not yet built my first chicken house on the farm. I am still researching on the construction of such. This information has really come in handy. Kindly consider doing a video on the actual dimensions of a good chicken house for layers. I know you don’t favour caged layers but you can mention how one for cages can also best be made. With love from Katete, Zambia

[@FarmUp]

Sure

[@byiringirobenjamin9763]

Thank you Dr Daniel, I support the request of John, please next time tell us about cages. Following u from Kigali

[@Marvels7]

Hello John. Did you manage to build your chicken run? I’m thinking to build mine I got land in Zimbabwe. How did it go.

[@KelechiOdoemena]

Hi Daniel, I'm living in Lagos, Nigeria but I've got say a quarter plot to build a poultry farm(using battery cage for broilers). I only started this month. Any tips? PS: I sent you an email, please, I still await your response.

[@PoultryfarmGuide]

I think deep litter could have been better for Broilers. It allows to exercise their legs and avoid paralysis. How many do u intend to start with ? 0.75 to 1 ft^2 to one bird till 8 to 9 weeks

[@greencerei]

Keep up the good job! Your contribution to farming in Africa has no limit

[@yasinjuma1445]

That's the reason they say education is the most important thing before you start a poultry farm project.

[@tkf1770]

Hello Daniel. Could you comment on the importance of perches? Also, what of the ground; will a concrete or wooden floor do, or is the "soily" material necessary? And what amount of space do a certain number of birds need?

[@PoultryfarmGuide]

Perches and soily materials like good litters are good to exhibit their natural behaviors like dust bathing, chase and run, feather clapping, etc. But for commercial purpose concrete ground is preferable with Quality litters like wood shavings, or rice husk. And it's easy to clean too Space Layer: deep litter about 1.50ft^2 cage:0.50ft^

Hi Doc i'm form SA and I would love to know, what are the best books to read when you want to educate yourself about poultry farm?

[@stillekavetunandero]

Hello brother men 🇳🇦 Just wanted to ask something about the floor of chicken house, do one need to put cement to make a floor or perhaps something

[@sierraleone7291]

Please did you normally check your mails and feedback....mails sent. But however how to get in touch with you for a starter. Maybe one needs to get connected with you for immediate support that might be needed.

[@OnlyTheChronic]

Excellent advice! I am about to start building a couple new bird houses myself, I have a new batch of baby Silkie chicks and more ready to hatch soon and I just ordered a new big incubator & few Emu eggs & Turkey eggs to hatch. What can I say? You inspired me to expand my farm lol.. If this keeps up I'll have to start my channel on the birds instead of on my Company lol.. and I love what you said about the "step" label btw, family is family and my daughters have different fathers but were raised as sisters, no half or step anything's in my family. We just don't use those words.

[@FarmUp]

Oh yes. All sisters and brothers

[@NjieZiphougarth]

Good to hear

[@yoopermann7942]

DOC, that was great advice, chickens need good air flow regardless of the type of breed, just keep them dry and out of strong cold winds and plenty of space and they will do well, the only time my chickens get heat is when the winter when the temps. drop below 0 deg.F. but that is just one way i also give a little more food and put in a water heater so the can get fresh water.

[@otubajac]

Thank you daktari for the insight. I improved my chicken house and my production went up from 50 to 80%

[@khunlukaurinta8770]

Hello sir suppose if i start with 200 female chickens how many male chickens do i have to keep? Thanks🙏🏻

[@misheckkamwamba2627]

The ratio is 10 hens-1 cock. So 200 hens will need 20 males

[@nngstng2027]

What is the average temperature in your Area... Here North East India, Shillong annually is 18 degrees celcus...

[@juliannekitten9546]

I love your chicken house. You have great advice, thank you for your videos. I am not sure but it looked like the panting birds had clipped beaks. Does that contribute to breathing issues also?

[@mykelbarigees3942]

The clipped beaks helps to reduce feather picking, egg breaking and also cannibalism amongst the chicken.

Where did you get your chicks from? Also in Ghana and planning to start a poultry farm as well.

[@AIS.FarmResorts]

@@derekjasonbossman5207 I bought them from a third party in Akim Oda who may also have bought them from a different party. I'm currently working on cutting the many middlemen by building my own egg incubator. The eggs have been in the incubator for almost 2 weeks now and the results as it stands are quite promising. When our incubator is successful, we will go into mass hatching and supply to local farms

So sorry

[@beatsmithx1090]

Unfortunately I'm living in northern Nigeria. It's very dangerous these days to even have a farm because of banditry. If you're lucky, bandits will steal your animals and if you're unlucky, they'll kill you or kidnap you and ask for ransom. Most times even after getting the ransom, they still go ahead and kill you. Some time ago people made alot of money with farming in Northern Nigeria but now, we can't. Lots of farms are empty now because nobody wants to get killed

[@judith_jay541]

i could not wait.....uhhhhhhhhhhhhh
