Daktari, you've done a good job.
To avoid fecal impaction, add some liquid paraffin in their drinking water. That's how we do it in Kenya.
Doctor give the birds some magic water( combination of honey, garlic, apple cider vinegar and water) too. Esp when you have just brought them in. I use it a lot and hv less mortality issues.
Can you tell us about the quantity per liter? Thank you
@@skams9578 one liter of water add 2 big spoons of each honey and apple cider vinegar and 2 cloves of crushed garlic. Use warm water to devolve the honey easily. Let it settle over night. I normally prepare it before bringing in the chicks.
So depending on the number of chicks u brings in just multiply the quantities. Because the above is enough for 50 chicks.
@@moseswabwire6423 thanks a lot for your answer . I will try that for my next batch .
So you give them the magic water just once .?
Electrolytes solution are also very helpful
Congrats ....following from Kenya....I have been following you all through and finally I started with 400 layers...today am on day 10;had 15 deaths in total.go go my mentor....there is light.God bless
Well done
Where did u get chicks? I really need a good hatchery in kenya to buy day old chicks?
@@ronaldkoeman9872 I ordered from kenchic and they delivered after a month.though I placed the order through a distributor in Bungoma
@@mbatajosephine5105 pls can you tell me the address of kenchi
@@mbatajosephine5105 can use kenchicks layers as layers breeders?
Dr Daniel, the birds are looking good and sorry so many were lost but after such a long journey, they were stressed. Glad you have your brother giving you great support. Watching from Jamaica
Thank you
So happy i found your Chanel, you reminded me my childhood when we used to raise Beautiful chickens.
I think, This might be a call to restart and raise the Beautiful Birds.
😍😍😍🐥🐥🐥🐓🐓🐓🤗🤗🤗
Wow I can see that we are doing well! Now we can see their wings are growing thanks God
LAYER starter is more for a teenaged bird. Crumble starter is for newly hatched birds. If they are to be egg producing birds you want to boost their calcium early so as soon as they grow just a bit you switch to LAYER STARTER, not yet adult food but one targeted for your laying birds. Crumble is the easiest for them to consume when very young either for layers or broilers.
Nice work Doc. I raised broilers and had about 22.5% mortality, and the highest rate was in the first 7days. My supplier had advised me to always estimate about 20% mortality. So 15% is not bad. As you keep brooding new sets, you get better at it because of the experience you get.
Poultry biz is not theoretical, as you practice you master the skills. I keep trying and brooding new sets regularly and I am better at it now.
I think paraffin will help to clear the gastrointestinal area. And you watch the temperature always while they are so young.
I love your videos. I hope to be able to do mine soon.
What a relief. In your next lot of birds you should order your eggs take them to the hatchery and then get your chicks at a day old
Wow I love this a good day is coming am a teacher and a large scale farmer too.
Alhamdulillah ...I am happy that my brother Smile is Back ...me too learning a lot
Thanks Dr Daniel .
I am from Neighborhood Ethiopia
Hello just sending my greetings from California USA. Love the videos, I noticed that the chicks are roosting on the top of the feeders, its best to make a system that can raise the feeders up and down to prevent the birds from roosting and pooping in their food trays to avoid coccidiosis, and always make sure their water is clean 🙂. Cant wait to see the results Im working on a worm farm to feed my chickens and hopefully lower my costs aswell. Thanks for the videos
You are the most resilient guy i know of, keep going strong Daniel!
Doc,that's is the best starter I hv ever used. I am very sure is the reason why your chick are recovering so fast.is medicated too
Hooray your chicks are making it. I have wooden boxes (40 x 40 cm) with the top of the platform slightly above the top of the sawdust so that the drinking pots don't get contaminated with the chickens scratching. Some people use pallets when the chickens are larger.
Never give up! Glad you are having better luck, blessings.
Yessssssssss i knew it there's light at the end of a tunnel big up Doc Dan we are here to support you in return we learn a lot from Zimbabwe
Thank you
Let's learn from Daniel akomana tisimudzire nyika yedu. Zimbabwe used to be the bread basket of Africa.
I have just started watching your videos, and I love them. I find them so interesting. I have 6 chickens at my home and I love them so much. Watching your videos really inspire me to start my own chicken farm. Thank you!
Hi everybody, Basile from Burundi here.
Started with 613 Birds 2 Weeks ago and as usual I lost couple birds Around 26 1.5% I guess but for most of them I realized latter it was the over hit it was too hot for birds in a close room with hot light and pots I almost gave up until I found out the reason.
Wondering what I could have done if I were you, Big up brother keep pushing can’t wait to learn more from you.
You're the best doc you're teaching me a lot about farming I'm coming to Africa to start my also
I'm a young Ghanaian who just started poultry farming thanks a lot for inspiration
I'm happy you're in high Spirit on Day6. I pray no more casualty.
Sure appreciate your honesty, you deserve to do well, totally agree with you that we have a lot to learn and your a great help,,, thank you for doing these real life videos
I'm so happy for the recovery of your birds shows you at working hard at this. Please don't give there are good days ahead. Your smile is back shaa. Jamaica is in the house I am learning.
Haha. Thanks my Jamaican sister
Thanks a lot for this wonderful video ❤
Thanks very much Dr I from Zimbabwe but I leave in UK in 2 year I'm going back Africa I want to do farm.more video please Dr I lov what u doing keep it up son .💪
Woohoo brother .. honestly I wasn't worried... You're too smart
Good news to hear dia.
You are really passionate Doc......you are such an inspirational mentor.... you're a genius
How would someone watch this video and not like it. such person need spiritual help (just joking). Bro, you are doing well!!!!
It's called witchcraft. Some people see no good in everything.
I love his videos and his personality people are crazy not to enjoy his videos!
Hey Dr. Daniel. Great news that the number of deaths of your little birds has drastically dropped to 1as per day 6 all from 65 in day 2. I'm glad you are positive and so passionate about poultry farming.
God bless you
Looks exactly like chick starter crumbles to me (normal here in the US for chicks, ducklings, and goslings - they don't even sell anything smaller or what you call mash or powder), I raise quail and they are a lot smaller when they hatch and they have no problem eating it, the most important part is the nutrition in it, and they seem to be eating it just fine. in fact i save the dust left over from my adults that wont eat it and give it to my new hatchlings after a few days even they prefer the crumbles over the powder but it helps not waste it
Thanks dear, i pray no more pain, all da best ssebo,
Doc Daniel greetings to you an thank very much for your video about all the teaching that you are giving to us I really appreciate an I pray for God to give you the strength an energy so that you will continue to inspired us more an more in Jesus name ,I washing you all away from Cyprus
So happy that the situation has improved. Keep up the good job 👍🏽
Thanks Doc,you are really encouraging us. Well done.
We thank God ,for keeping our birds
Thx alot for not giving up. Dont loose hope.
I’m very happy for you Doc Dan 👏
If you have access to cornmeal add a little to the feed and it will help sticky but, intestinal blockages.. it works well
keep the videos coming, we enjoy watching
God is faithful. You are victorious Dr Daniel... We thank God things are turning around for you
Iam a new farmer raising my broilers, by watching yr vedio I'm telling I end up with a pHD in rearing chickens. Keep posting the good teaching work.
Never ever give up ...Good days may be today but better days are a head ... Well done my friend.
There is that smile I've grown accustomed to when visiting your channel! So happy good days are back! I knew they would be! I must add, that the fact that your flock so quickly recovered from the situation shows your diligence and good husbandry. Yes, you lost quick a few. But some things are out of our control. I suspect there simply was no saving them at that point. But I believe you would have lost so many more if not for your hard work and efforts! Great job! I am so happy for you! I can't wait to see this journey!
I believe"layer starter" is for older birds Luke around 8 weeks or so. You start laying birds on that so their bodies prepare for laying eggs. That is not chick starter. I bet they sent you the wrong packages. While they will be okay on it, it is not optimal for them. I don't know how much you have bought. But I would consider what to do about it, by weighing all the pros and construction of replacement. They can eat it just fine. You would be shocked how big a piece they can swallow. What's important is the nutrition and calorie and fat difference. Good luck! I can't wait to see you again
Thank you
Well done bruv we are all proud of you cuz man he is hard worker. And you will make it just have to be patient
Next time consider putting liquid paraffin in there water it will help with there gut clearing and stop the vent blockage, research about it too
Glad things are getting better
I'm so pleased!!! Good luck bro. Love what you're doing
Am happy for doctor Dan
Thanks be to God Doc am really happy for you bambi thanks alot
Learning a lot as well from this channel and it's very inspiring... Always looking forward for your uploads... Keep up the good work
Wawooo ai love wat am seeing, they have grown wings too thank you God
Oh yes💪🏼
I will explain the pre starter.
It's a medicated chick started to help protect their little stomachs from germs that cause illness and also make it easier for them to eat.
I'm also wondering about your water..you can't give them.ice cold water. It should be room temperature..it can make them.die if its ice cold.
Based on your number of chicks your percentages are quite good all things considered.
M y husband and I have enjoyed watching your videos.
I have been watching your videos and found inspiration.i will be having my broiler chicks arriving on tuesday and i have prepared all the equipments, meds, feeds and brooders .by looking at you journey i have learned alot
amen brohter
I am glad things are looking up for you!
Thx 4 sharing with us Dr.Dan u really inspired mi
😍
I am soon to start great work keep it up
This guy is very honest
I have really learnt a lot from you about poultry. By the time I start mine I will be equipped with all the practical ideas that will help me maximise my returns on the farm.May be you need to crush them with a machine. Thanks dear
Such an inspiration
Very happy for you doc.. In Sha Allah... Your chicks vl do well. Never give up 👍
Congratulations Dr. Dan👏
My home chicken has just lay five eggs and am thinking of keeping them but I don't know how to go about it until I found you Channel thanks for your info
DOC, as for your starter feed it looks just like what i use, what i found is the nutrition guide on the back of the bags of feed, starter feed is softer then adult feed so that it crumbles easy for the chicks to eat, your loss rate so far is not so bad, when you lose 50% or more that is when you worry! i once lost a whole flock to vermin, wild animals, illness, you are now on the way to be producing eggs again!
Thank you.
Pre-starter cramps are below 2mm and contains chemicals to protect the chicks from diseases such as coccidiosis, etc. If it contains such chemicals, you have to phase off the cramps when the chicks are about to lay eggs or to be eaten.
Thank u bra
Thank you Doc,infact have learnt a lot.
EXCELLENT!!!
what a relief
Those pullets are very good though they look to be big. I used to get feeds from other distributors but when i tried that distributor the results were very good.
I am so happy I found this channel, your are a great steward. Keep going. Beautiful Outlook. Subbed brother. 🤓
I really love watching all of your video brotha, keep it up. I've learned a lot from you and also you are so fun to watch. Stay safe brotha! LOVE ALL THE WAY FROM THE PHILIPPINES❤️
You are doing well
You're the very best! Yes definitely Chuck's need smaller feed they do choke on so many things!
Very nice my dear
Thanks bro, you will succeed 🤗
Here in the U.S. the feed bags can be misleading.starter/ grower crumble is usually for chicks just born up to 8 weeks or 22 weeks depending on brand. I always start with crumble then switch to layer pellets. The feed you bought probably has the right amount of protein and vitamins.... your problem is the distance traveled
Outamatic water drink's are the best I use big plumbing PVC piping it is mounted in the coop and there is a l bracket coming outside and one at the end I fill it like one every 4 to 5 days there examples on TH-cam been most successful for me
I really recommend you kept more water feeder, cos it's much important than the feed.
Thanks for the caring about farmers in General %%% am moses MUGISHA in Uganda
Others are here to see you failing ❌, God is Good
You know hard work,so you can't always fail lol👍
Also, I think prestarter maybe the food that is suggested to help the birds prestart their laying once they are bigger. Most chick feed here has between 20-24% protein and is normally crumble. Chicks should also be given “grit” to help them break down the food. Check the protein levels in the feed that may be a good indicator what its really meant for.
that's awesome man!...all the best till point of lay
Glad to see wood chips down now covering their poop
Listen to this because I just lost 5 of my 151 birds in a single night. It hurts quite a bit. Some died in my hands even lol
Glory be to God this is amazing news!!!
Hey Friend. Add cut grass to baby nd adult chickens. What they don't eat clean up with dirt nd poop together nd use as compost. Chickens look naked. Add some more protein. Feathers need protein. Add nutrients to baby nd adult chickens water or vinegar. Chickens love grass. I'm just saying they look naked but look healthy.
I knew you could've done this brotha
praise God, not much mortality now, they will be good now
Amen
it's really very interested I have already started with what I have my problem is now market
God is great
Maybe they are pellets for start of lay, not start of life.
Maybe.... but the photo used is even a chick. And the distributor told me that's what they give chicks
@@FarmUp Check the calcium level against the
standard for point of lay vs chick.
Hey
💚💙💗Good job
hmm i isn't chick starter and pre starter are different feeds? fist 30 days chick starter (these are very small feeds for chicks)after that is pre starter feed.🤔
ps. im not sure btw , there might be several kinds of feeds out there.
Amen 🙏
Day One 29
Day Two 65
Day three 36
Day Four 8
Day Five 4
Day Six 1
Day Seven🤞🏾let's pray there's no mortality.
TOTAL 143deaths (15%) in 1st week👏🏾
Thanks for the math😅😍
@@FarmUp u r welcome bro
