Interesting! Please update us on every stage. I am a broiler farmer and will adding layers to my farm in six months. I have been learning a lot from you but these recent videos are like hands on! Thank you so much! You don't know how many souls you have inspired and helped!
Everytime I watch your videos, l learn something new. This time unblocking the passage🥰 By the time I start my farm am sure I'll be equipped with all it takes. Thanks & be blessed Dan
Don't give e up Dr Daniel. You're doing an amazing job teaching us so much. There will be good and not so good but we don't quit. We press on to victory. God has bought you this far. So continue. We love you and appreciate all you do. Thank you
You are strong man. Every business has its own challenges. Personally I deals with charcoal briquettes here in Kenya.I sells the briquettes to the poultry farmer and I have seen so many of them been successful despite of many challenges.Keep up the good work bro
No matter what you decide to do in life, there will be obstacles. The only way to have less worries, is to work for someone else. And that comes with its own set of issues. But to own your own business, there will always be set backs and things that go wrong! So that is why it is most important to have a business that is something you actually enjoy and feel good about doing! I am sending prayers your way! For the greatest outcome possible! I think as time goes on, and you get a good reliable supplier, things will only improve for you! Plus, I am not certain, but the whole "pandemic" has affected so many things in the world! It could have played a part in what you experienced as well. Maybe not. But it could have. One thing is for certain, YOU ARE A HARD WORKER! You are a VERY INTELLIGENT MAN! You are COURAGEOUS! Not afraid to take a chance! And you are always looking for answers! I SEE NOTHING STANDING IN YOUR WAY! Whatever comes your way, I am certain you will over come it! I LOVE SEEING HOW YOU ARE DOING! Thank you for the update! KEEP SMILING! IT ONLY GETS BETTER FROM HERE!
Doc, call for discount (replacement) for the stress and mortalities of the chicks. The hatchery should have advised you about the stress levels with the long journey. Dont give up, doc. Happy new year.
Grind fresh turmeric and garlic to paste,then use sieve to get the juice and mix it in their water,5 ml in 1 ltr.Really it will boost their immunity, small suggestion from Indian sister
These problems are not your fault and are out of your control, I don't think you have it in you to give up.. this is your Calling and you know it. Your experiences are teaching others. In my location chicks & eggs are so easily accessible but you have these challenges that you WILL overcome. I love that you are sharing the good and the bad both, it's real life :) You are teaching others and we are learning from you. I'm working on a video about hatching eggs from my Silkies & Cochins now, my incubator will arrive Monday. Thank You Thank You Thank You! For everything you teach us. Wish I were closer, I'd love to visit your farm.
Hie Doc, from Zimbabwe, i also keep chickens. When i get a delivery i usually give the birds a stresspac solution or water mixed with sugar so that they are not affected by the stress of moving from one place to another. When poop blocks their tubes..we call it chitosi and we usually use esb3 or alyseryl and it works wonders
Brother please don't quite because the more you are facing difficulties on this now will make you have more experience next time in the future And your videos have encourage me so much. Keep pushing it bro. God bless brother
Keep up the work bro, from several other poultry farmers I've talked to keeping chicks alive is notoriously difficult even under the best of circumstances so just focus on learning from this to push forward.
Another trick I use (in addition to honey and garlic water) is to cut up apples very fine to give them a much needed natural sugar boost and help with digestion stress. Unfortunately you have no control over what happens to them before and during shipping and no way of knowing what they may have been through so don't blame yourself. Much luck and love to you my friend from Georgia, USA.
It's good idea for us to breed some here, it help chicks to adopt the weather. I am also thinking of breeding my own chicks called black star chicks. Am also making my own incubators
@@greatness79ajj yes, I made 352eggs incubator, tested with gunea fowls eggs and they hatch well. I am in the upper east region as a police officer, that's making it hard to start the poultry
Don't quit...its normal bro..just learn to do it better...when i started i had the same problem...now im an experience farmer with 50,000 birds capacity
Hi Sir. Keep this up. We follow you all the way in St. Maarten (island in the Caribbean). Have learned alot from your videos. I have a mini farm with a few hundred birds and have inspired some of my friends to do the same and we share your videos as well. Keep it up and continue to inspire others.
Never give up. Hard work pays but pains. Ventures that are more riskier give better gains.I have seen comments suggesting that you put some drops of cooking oil in drinking water. Oh that one helps even on man with constipation
I use watermelon to add electrolytes and address dehydration but don’t be discouraged I’ve had to go through many difficulties before it got better, take care and thank you for all the tips
Dont be like a discouraged farmer we depend on you as we push through the journey of raising chicken like for me i only have 100 broilers n was inspired by you.
I would use one full cap full of Organic Vinegar, to about one of his size waters in the back ground, Looks to be about 1 pint water (APPROXIMATE) to one cap full of vinegar / spoon full of vinegar (if that helps ya more). -Enjoy, Happy Chickens, Happy Life!!!
I had a look around old forums for a cheap healthy solution to your problem The one thing I could find that might be very useful is to add apple juice.to their first water on arrival. It's a fibre food and helps to move their tummys kindly. There's other ways ofcourse but you're already using those Sometimes you're going to lose some simply because they.hatch weak from the start and won't drink properly. I've had that problem lately with a few guinea fowl..saved some and lost some. But onwards and upwards!
Doc in their water always add liquid paraffin just drops around the drinker stool problem will not be seen. I wish you could get the brooding stove with a cover like an umbrella.
No No dont stop. Just help the weak ones get better with eggs and syrup trust me it works. Or suger and egg and water. You will lose money if you quit. Just work and good things will come. From a subscriber watching from America. 😁🐥❤ Keep on goin.
LESSONS learnt...We are what we eat..If food is right we dont need much medication....Diabetes, athritis,BP n chronic diseases are nutritional n can be reversed....best wishes in all endevours🙏🏼🙏🏼
My suggestion Dr Daniel, boiled the water and cooled before given to your chick..and secondly administer tetracycline capsule through drinking water to the Young chick I bet you all will go well good luck to you..!
My brother please read this. Carbon monoxide poisoning is caused by inhaling combustion fumes. ... But if they're used in a closed or partially closed space - cooking with a charcoal grill indoors, for example - the carbon monoxide can build to dangerous levels. Smoke inhalation during a fire also can cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
Great job doctor-farmer Daniel. I think you should invest in digital hydrothermographs(hygrometer) to be sure the temperature and humidity are within safe ranges. The birds were stressed, no doubt. I also suspect that a number of them needed encouragement ingesting the medicated water on arrival. Perhaps many more drinkers the first 24hrs might help. Well done Sir.
Don't quit Dr. Daniel. I've been following you since the lockdown and you've given me a lot of inspiration. The main reason I feel to why you're birds aren't doing well, is because they arrived stressed and really had a long journey. My advice to you for your next project is to try and get a suitable chick supplier from nearer to your farm so they can arrive within 24hrs of hatching. I wish you the best in the future. Lots of love from Uganda
I’ve gone through this before..I quit for a bit, but I realized it’s not the solution so I started again with a lower number and I’m picking up.. it’s a normal occurrence to experience such
We love you Daniel and stand with you in prayer am sure the birds will be fine,it was beyond your control hence the losses.Pole sana.We believe in you and pray for your success!!!!
Can you separate the sick ones into another room? In that way you can give the healthy ones more room and neater space. Just my two cents of suggestion.
It's best to have more than one brooder. Don't put all your eggs in one basket (HA!). You have to clean the backside. It will plug up, and infect the hatch. This is the normal job of the mother hen.
Think of it this way; the ones who live will be the strongest. The genes of the survivors are the ones you may want to use for breeding your next flock.
I know there is something given before the journey to reduce stress, and Liquid paraffin is given to enhance digestion systems. Otherwise, it is terrible what you have gone through, make sure you plan the logistic from A to Z by consulting a vet. Goodluck.
Separate the weak ones and put it on a Circular GI sheet with 24/7 light and give them probiotic. Don't quit doc. you've been through alot worse than this. Take this as a challenge. Just keep doing what you love and everything will be fine soon
Try buying an incubator with a hatcher. Use this stock as your parent stock, then become a chick seller. You will have your own produced chicks and can also sell to us. You will will recover from the loss of the dead chicks since you can manage the chicks once hatched.
Hatched and sorted on day one. Transported to the airport on day two. Loaded onto plane and fly to Africa on day three. Unloaded and stored waiting for transportation to your farm on day four. Transported to your farm on day five. All this time with nothing to drink. The weak won't survive but things that don't kill the rest will only make them stronger. Maybe they have Sour crop. Research that. 10% mortality is bad but it's not like they came from the farm next door. Good luck my friend.
I still see a lot of chicks which is still opportunity! If you only end up with half of the birds left you still can make it through the season. Maybe a opportunity to learn to raise chicks and be a supplier to your region.
practising medical doc,I have learnt alot from you but I can see the broader is now okay...try put some cooking oil or paraffin in the drinking water to ease the digestion
Hi Bro, good to see your video again. I guess u need to start writing to seek more expert opinion to run some experiment on your own. Jus my thoughts to you. All the best
Sometimes you have a good batch of chicken and sometimes you get a bad group that is very weak. Been where you are before. But I kept on going and its all good now. All the best.
I'm so sorry you're going through this. Everyone who deals with animals long enough goes through it. :( I've raised chickens for almost 20 years. Three years ago I started adding dried Moringa to their feed for the first 3 or 4 days and haven't lost a single chick since. I give it once a week to all my chickens now. It's expensive here in the US, but would think it's much cheaper in your country....idk. What I can tell you is their eggshells are harder, and their feathers are super shiny. The amount of feed decreases about 20-25%, and I haven't had a single death (yet!). My 3 yr olds are laying as much as the year old hens. I haven't had a single case of pasty butt either. Not one. They must need whatever is in it because the days I add it, they go crazy over their feed. The day after when it's not added, they don't eat much at all.
Hello Doc. Daniel. It's unfortunate that you are losing the little chics at such a terrific speed. But just like you said, I think the same thing, stress from the long flight and journey to reach you. I don't know about the environment. Looking at the floor for them, is it soft for them to sleep without feeling pressed? Then about the chic mash... I'm not sure how certain you tell that they all drunk water before the feeding. Great you're sharing your experience with the world. Great of you. Thank you
I am a poultry farmer in Kenya. Use liquid paraffin to help in digestion and avoid stool being stuck(the infection). Make the poultry quiet and peaceful. You will make it
Morning Dr Dan. Thanks for your videos I have been inspired and I started farming in October 2020 coz of you and so far am happy. Now my question is how is it if I use cray charcoal stoves instead of metallic ones? Waiting for you reply am here in uganda
We got our note pads out and learning it's not easy but you are showing us it's possible with the right attitude. Appreciate your work keep going brother
Don't quit now. Already your birds are recovering from the malnutrition and dehydration caused by the long journey. But I stand by my comment about the carbon monoxide. See my explanation in the day2 comments in response to your reply that there is no smoke. Please find a better solution to keeping the birds warm. And you are endangering your own health if you are sleeping in with those charcoal heaters. Be careful. You can die from that. Be well and safe and don't give up.
Dr Daniel please remove carbort on floor of brooder and put something that will absorb the chicken manure to which you can add every other day like wood chips or wood shaving or even hay.
They look really cold. The heater is too small/not enough heat. They're going near the heater. Increase ur heat so they won't crowd when they sleep. When they crowd, at such big number, most will be at the bottom and will die of suffocation. The caretaker has to observe them and prevent that. They don't need much vitamins. I raised brown layers without vitamins. Main cause of death at days old is usually temperature instead of food & water. I'm so sorry to hear about ur problem. I understand how frustrating it is when u have many deaths when it could have been prevented and when u know u have done the right thing but problems keep coming up that u need to be present at the farm to understand what's the problem and it's usually the caretaker is not doing it right.
a man who never makes a mistake never learns anything. a man who never loses anything also never gains wisdom. Stay strong my friend, you're doing God's work and if God is with you, who can be against you?
Interesting! Please update us on every stage. I am a broiler farmer and will adding layers to my farm in six months. I have been learning a lot from you but these recent videos are like hands on! Thank you so much! You don't know how many souls you have inspired and helped!
You have inspired most of us to fall in love with poultry farming Dr. Dan. Never give up, much love from the Gambia.
From the Gambia?!😳. Am proud
I'm learning a lot from you go on
Doc please don't give up now we pray with you from south Africa

yup 🐣
I agree

I also suspect the source of heat as the cause of death.
Don't give up you are very good. Do this and you will be fine.
Don't give up! Winners don't give up!
I lost 80% of my birds one time and trust me I know how it hurts but I learned a lot from it too. I realised I didn't know it all..
So sorry about this i hope you bounced back

Put vinegar inside of their water it’ll help out with 98% of your problems. I would put one Full of vinegar per each of your white waters there....

Don’t be discouraged Daniel. You are an inspiration to me and so many others. God has a plan for you.
Try using aloe Vera in the chicks'water it will help

Dr. Daniel push through my brother. You have inspired many on here including myself to embrace poultry farming.
Very encouraging bro all the best
Well done. May God almighty continue to be with you.
I had a look around old forums for a cheap healthy solution to your problem

You're welcome. If my suggestion is not possible then you can try and buy the eggs from outside and hatch them at your farm or at a nearby hatchery.
@@andrewvictormawandanaimanyeim guessing its hard to get that many chicks let alone quality laying breeds that have been vaccinated in Uganda.

Yes it helps a lot.
Dr. Daniel can you set up sections in your brooder? This could provide a cozier space for groups of birds, with less stress.

Don't quit now. Already your birds are recovering from the malnutrition and dehydration caused by the long journey. But I stand by my comment about the carbon monoxide. See my explanation in the day2 comments in response to your reply that there is no smoke. Please find a better solution to keeping the birds warm. And you are endangering your own health if you are sleeping in with those charcoal heaters. Be careful. You can die from that. Be well and safe and don't give up.
Try to do 20 at a time once they get 2 weeks old get 20 more alot easier and the bond with the birds is much stronger get alot more done to it seems
Too Ligit to Quit!!! Carry on my brother.🙌🙌
you need to do a detailed video about the building tour. what tools you use. and why.
Dr Daniel please remove carbort on floor of brooder and put something that will absorb the chicken manure to which you can add every other day like wood chips or wood shaving or even hay.
There is wood shavings under...removing the cardboard
Never quit please, winners never quit, business is all about profits N losses
Woody hard 😅 It's hard to escape those medical terms.
They look really cold. The heater is too small/not enough heat. They're going near the heater. Increase ur heat so they won't crowd when they sleep. When they crowd, at such big number, most will be at the bottom and will die of suffocation. The caretaker has to observe them and prevent that. They don't need much vitamins. I raised brown layers without vitamins. Main cause of death at days old is usually temperature instead of food & water. I'm so sorry to hear about ur problem. I understand how frustrating it is when u have many deaths when it could have been prevented and when u know u have done the right thing but problems keep coming up that u need to be present at the farm to understand what's the problem and it's usually the caretaker is not doing it right.
a man who never makes a mistake never learns anything. a man who never loses anything also never gains wisdom. Stay strong my friend, you're doing God's work and if God is with you, who can be against you?
