Thanks, Happy New Year to you too!

You can use MDF or HDF plywood for the flooring of the top floor. The spaces can be sealed with glue. That will make cleaning easier.

[@FarmUp]

Great. A bit more expensive though. And is it's strong?

[@BigYem]

@FarmUp That depends on the skill of the builder.

morning doc and happy new year my name is THUSO from South Africa i have been following you since september 2023 in my life i've never thought that one day i will love doing poultry but since i started watching your videos,i think im falling in love with poultry and im thinking of joining farm up academy i've started saving up money to start my own farm my question today is i want to do layers.so is it a good idea as a beginner to go and buy grown chicken almost ready to lay ? or i should get 1 day old chicks

[@norrisriderjewelries5831]

Hey Doctor Daniel I have a question. Is possible to raise layers chicken and broilers chicken in a double chicken 1 in the lower part and an other in an upper part ???

[@FarmUp]

No. Terrible Idea. Make a video on that

[@idrisibrahimjiya1726]

Thank you

[@FarmUp]

You're welcome

[@DirkReuter-r5w]

If you require cages we have second hand here in Fixsburg area.

[@armstrongzee2421]

Fixsburg free state ?

[@Adrian-qb1tp]

Dr D, can you cover the options you have for dealing with all the waste, I get the layers are around 80wks but the broiler is a far quicker turnaround than them, my problem is that chicken waste is classed as a hot manure due to acidity levels so for me the layers are the better options as its pretty much composted at the 80wk stage . Happy New Year to you and the family 🙏🙏

[@joseph155]

Thank you for the videos Dr. Daniel. What about cleaning the house , what are the challnges that may arise based on the kind of floors you have like a concrete floor vs a brick floor vs a timber floor ? Is it a true a bad floor can cause cocodeoces?

[@FarmUp]

Coccidiosis is caused by wet litter

40k broilers for 1200sqm? Not really good sir I guess it was a mistake.

[@FarmUp]

Was a quick calculation off my head just I case we used it for broilers. It's 1200 x 2...since it's 2 floors. So 2400 square metres...x 12 birds per square metre. Around 30k birds.

[@ApribogogoAbite]

Dr don’t you think 12 birds per sqm for age 0-6 weeks is a very high stocking density that can cause high mortality due to over stocking even if you have your biosecurity in place,ventilation and enough feeders and drinkers. I feel the stocking density that is been brandished by most farmers on the internet is actually not what practical farmers use. This is a major reason I think new farmers struggle with mortality after following all procedure. I think 8 birds per sqm is fair enough if you have all the above I mentioned. Please what is your thought.

[@ApribogogoAbite]

I also think we ought to tell intending farmers especially people from my country Nigeria that the stocking density fluctuates due to extreme weathers. You can’t go with a particular stocking density all the time. This I have found out,also causes serious mortality and low mortality rate is our target for profit making.

[@DONWISE-i8p]

Brother, am from Nigeria. please want to ask questions about chicken farms. I have two plot of lands in my state city, not in the village. and I want to build chicken farm. Isn't good for me to build it in the city. Please answer me Sir. God bless you ❤❤
