Hello Sister I love your content in general. But please, let us not promote the caging of chicken. This method has been banned even in Europe. Let us put ourselves in place of these chicken. Keeping chicken in cages is an absolute no go!

[@dewaweshawakening9977]

Honestly, I started With Deep litter and I can attest it not one of the best ways to raise a large number of layers. Record keeping is complicated,control of disease not easy, flock observation not easy, feed wastage high .I honest prefer Battery Cages anyday

[@balancedviewpoint7418]

Lynn, the ingenious master for all-round inspiration across generations. Big up gal. I resonate with the guest on Lynn's question on mixing different bird species in one pen. Lynn, it doesn't work that way. Why? 1. Each category has it's market segment, specific food intake and unique rearing characteristics. 2. Depending on the purpose and intention to rear, experience gives the farmer several ingenious methods to reduce cost of production, hence the caging of layers for easier management and maximisation of profits under assured magematical formulae devoid of farm hand stealing, if at all. Layers in cages are easier to count, easy to detect disease and where innovative farmers achieve double egg-laying, you can tell which nest produced extra. Well managed layers with music in-house lays two eggs in a day. 3. Broilers on the other hand are so sensitive and market driven, without which, as the guest said, you fail before you start. 4. Kienyeji is very profitable and much more healthy on chicken rearing business, but a farmer must be intentional on specifics. 65-75% farmers keep or adopt improved kienyeji, kroilers, rainbow roosters abd or kenbro as kienyeji which ofcourse is not true. Pure Kienyeji chicken is very specific and purposeful in rearing. They take long to mature and often scavenge on organic matter including worms. They are not big in size but in their tiny form, they are so nutritious and slightly expensive due to its healthy benefits. You can't short-change an organic chicken eater like me for anything else. Lastly, I encourage all of Lynn's fans not to be guided by a temporary hype and vibe to jump to chicken farming. It's a good business but not a walk in the park. Key components expectations for chicken rearing. a. You must lay up a workable business plan first b. The business must first hit your mind to passion before you engage. c. It MUST never be a telephone operated business but an hands-on business other it shall be dead before it picks. d. You must make sure there is readily available reserve funds to help you mitigate unforseen shocks like diseases and fast moving feeds as usual. e. Never force your child or partner to embrace this category farming. If it is not in their blood or passion, let them be. Because this business is tedious and hands-on. Only the fainthearted and or hands-dirtying farmers can succeed in it. Patience, consistency and hygiene drives chicken trade. Less that you are doomed to fail. Lastly, passion, common disease management knowhow, sufficient, pre-budgeted feed, hygiene, clean water availability, consistency on specific feed and target market are combined components that drive a chicken farmer to a guaranteed bottom line. Less that, do not even attempt to start. Diaspora Lynn fans, sorry for you. This is not the best venture to gamble on, sadly.

[@ncne9183]

I hope anyone thinking about embarking into this venture will take your advice.

I loved the lesson about the 8 'free' hours that you have a choice on what to do with.

[@mauricekarani7127]

Animal welfare is highly compromised by the battery cage system. The chickens live a miserable life in these cages. Deep litter is a better way to rear chicken

[@mutumakimathi]

I was looking for such a comment. Quantity = money over quality.

I have chickens, and I feel the way this people are keeping them is cruel, they need room not be cramped on a cage.

I've really learned a lot about poultry keeping 💯...when you have a food hub or a joint or a hotel ,then both can do ,but broilers needs a ready market.

Lynn please ask her where I can get the 16 week's layers.

[@Ken_W254]

We also do poultry farming though in less number(Around 100 birds). The biggest challenge we do have is finding ready market.

There are 3 type of chicken 1 .layers 2. Broilers 3. Dual purpose birds[ can be raised for both meat and eggs ]. Each age has special receipie/ diet Each type will have special foods at any each stage of life Once layers reduce eggs production they sent to be culled But TAKE NOTE , BROILERS ARE ONLY RAISED UP TO 2 MONTHS OR 4-5 WEEKS THEREBY GIVING VERY TASTY AND TENDER MEAT .

[@vickiechege_1234]

Pro tip:you can start with as little as 10 chicken especially as a new farmer,build a good warm place for them when they start laying eggs every week you have your ten eggs to eat at home.The next three weeks you have a tray to sell at your local shop,get your money eat your eggs😊thanks for sharing❤
