True Dr Daniel. I use farm products for most of my food recipes and videos and I know how unpredictable it is sometimes. I once didn't have yellow york eggs available for my recipes because my nearest farmer was out of business due to feed prices. I had to take the hard way out, but now I'm back and doing just fine. Ups and downs!
Back to base. The farm that inspired me to start my 1000 layer poultry farm 3 months ago now am expanding to 2300 layer. Keep inspiring us. Thank you Dr
@chick chick gp farm guyana I don't know it in feet but may be you can convert. I have two houses. The first one is 16mx11m that takes 1000 The second one am building is 17mx11m. That will take between 1200 to 1300 birds
Here i was worrying and heart broken about the 42 birds lost in 4 weeks. It's good that farmers also share the negative side of the business. Thanks for this video
I am about to start my first farm with 2000 boilers. I did all planning before I ever saw your channel but I am thankful I did. I am learning everyday from you. I palan to do a lot in this industry and make videos like you to inspire others. Thank you Doc.
Thanks doc, the first time i brooded my chics without a hen, i lost almost 70% but it was a great way to learn. when i tried the second time the mortality was low and on the third time i raised all my chics with zero deaths. Imagine if i had given up the first time. Farming trains one to become patient and patience is very crucial in our daily lives.
Quite encouraging doc! Going through the same exact experience right now, but giving up is a no go area for me. I get strong every time I watch and listen to your videos.
This is the encouragement I was exactly looking for. You inspired me to start 2 months ago. Then 2 weeks ago some illness struck my 150 kroilers baby chicks. I have already lost over 15 of them. I have tried diagnosing them but all in vain. Today I called some Vet and he recommended we do postmortem of the dead ones. I'm waiting for the results. I'm really tensed because I don't want the disease to spread to the other over 450 chicks.
@@FarmUp thanks for checking up. Unfortunately it's a case of critical gumboro. I'm trying to manage it so that it doesn't affect the others. Luckily all the others are immunized against it. However, I'm not taking chances.
True that! Support staff is too tricky to deal with "they only do what you inspect not what you expect" but you only need one good person by luck s/he'll save you alot by doing the right thing at the right time. Thanks for that leaf of wisdom Dr. Be Blessed.
Thank you for the video. Farming is a hard business. Unfortunately, enough of farmers are not sharing their knowledge in the public domain like you. Most farmers post only their success and novice jump into agriculture targeting only profits. Losses are normal in all businesses. Prepare for that if venture into farming. I have my own share of losses in rearing layers. Thank you Doctor.
One of my best video of you ever doctor I really want you to make much of motivational talk just to make people to learn from your experience.. Thank you sir chatting from Nigeria
This is a great video! It sounds like you have been properly baptized/initiated into the realities of being an agricultural producer. Now you may have an understanding of why Poultry producers in Canada formed government approved marketing boards which are a kind of producer cartel/union and Poultry producers in the U.S.A. are complaining about being controlled by large processing companies (see 'Supersize Me 2: Holy Chicken!') Trying to ride two horses at once is difficult so I hope you can find an experienced local maize grower to help you grow maize for yellow yolks or find a better feed formula without maize or less maize and perhaps rent/lease the paddock land after some drainage ditches and/or ponds are dug. It sounds and looks like there is more than enough water in the area. Grass and shrubs require water. The thorny shrubs puzzle me because they are associated with drought so a local agricultural expert should be consulted. I would even look into installing agricultural subsurface drainage to increase the ratio of air to water in the soil and keep the water table below three feet/ one meter. Perhaps one paddock of 100 acres could be fenced off and systematically tiled into a surface drainage ditch. You could start with surface drains. That low area that always floods might be your most productive land when properly improved and managed. A market gardener could make 20 acres quite profitable.
Hi doctor Daniel, love your videos… do u perhaps have a video on how you did your bookkeeping regarding chicken, and egg records? Comparing from when you started, to where you are now
Good encouragement! We are trying to start something small here in guatemala and also help some neighbors to start small businesses aswell! Great advice! Thanks!
Am passionate about poultry farming, I can't wait to do it again though I was disappointed the first time coz they all died when had just started laying eggs😭😭but still I will not give up until my dream comes true 🙏
Very true, here in kenya the feeds prices are increasing everyday. It's becoming hard to manage the birds now considering high coast of feeds and zero profits. Some are even selling their birds when they have just started laying 😟
@@obadikevalentine391 my friend this method is good for the short time and most especially when you wish to grow bigger in your poultry so if you lack enough space for your chicks, it works better for the starters and some call it"cage method "
Farming may cause emotional damage but when it gets good it's so worth it. I document my farm life in my TH-cam channel, Here with Fi. Please check it out. For now it's small scale crop farming and it still takes a lot of time, effort and other resources.
The million dollar question: Lots of cheap Ugandan eggs in the kenyan market. Greatly affected kenyan farmers. Where are this eggs coming from given that the feed costs are incredibly high all over.
Hi there , my freind in Africa farmers , animal breeders , are being impacted and driven out of there land and deeper and deeper into poverty by the practice of unfair trade coupled with knock out by big industrial scale companies , importation of cheaper better quality subsidised import products @ economy of scale @ value chain level, i disagree with you i do not believe you are serious , farming in Africa does not bring benefits to producers , they are exploited to last drop of their blood , farming in africa has been poor , is poor , and shall remain poor , tell people to do something different .
@@maureen624 hello , maureen , thanks for the reply , yes indeed " really " . Farming in Africa as an occupation @ production level , one s effort will keep making a trader ( middlemen/ women richer by the day , while the farmer does not get fair hard earned rewards , ex : olive orchard had been uprooted to shift to mandarines in Maroco , coffee in Ethiopia is being shopped down to be replaced by lucritive " khat" a stimulant

How can i comminicate with you dr. Daniel??

It has antinutrient factors. The bare seed is not a good idea

You can use modern flat netting methods if you on a small scale of land
@@namakulasarah7853 thanks for your response. "modern flat netting" I would appreciate if you throw more light on it .
Use cages they are really helpful. I use cages n i rear 160 birds in a 12 ft by 14 ft room. Tho well ventilated
