How are you disinfecting your chicken houses? Big breaders here use steam rather than chemicals. With your watering station, consider making version number 2 mobile with wheels (less termite damage) that can be dragged along your water lines and hooked up at different points. Like how yours is big enough to give rain and hail protection. In Mexico, chickens are free ranged under the corn. This way they are protected from hawks. They help themselves to the weeds and keep other grasses at a lower height. I have paper in the brooder only near the feeders because they need sawdust to keep warm at night. It's much colder here. I remove the paper from the brooder after day four.
Weldone Dr free range birds are always disturbed by predators, so may be you keep them on runs which are easier to monitor. Good work Daniel keep moving
Doc I learnt from several farmers that water direct from the tap is not good for the chickens. How safe is that water you're using?? Is it rain water or what??
Hello Dr, I loved your video about the semi free range chicken. Check this guy on TH-cam, he does the same thing as you, and I have been watching him for a long time now. I couldn't not noticed the similarity between you and him. Dexter world, he is from the Philippines.
Dr. Daniel, you're really doing a great job thanks so much. But please I have been trying to get across to you, because I need you to guide me on my farm.
@Let’sGrow AndProsper I am originally from the Caribbean. The last few years I've been thinking of moving to Africa..I settled on Tanzania two years ago and gave myself two years to do it. I got ride of my car in order to save money. No car payment nor insurance payment. I cut my hair myself. No new clothes, no eating out..you get me? The lockdown due to covid has helped a lot. Cutting back hasn't been easy but I know my goal and what I must do to achieve it. I have a great life here but I no longer wish to live here. My ancestors have called, I must answer
Bro I think you're amazing I love what you're doing but I noticed you use a lot of trees to build your bird enclosures about question though do you plant back the trees that you cut down? This is really a problem across Africa and it will become a growing problem as the population grow.
You should research rain water harvesting systems because all those chicken houses can collect their own water from the roof. I would love to see how you set that up.
@@FarmUp Thank you for response, are they f1 or f2 generation, is it possible to rear them as dual purpose parent stock or they have also a particular parent stock that is different
This is a great conversation for your crop areas...th-cam.com/video/e1B5EHSmtCY/w-d-xo.html. You can make a Johnson Su bioreactor or a modified Diego Footer Donut design with the chicken brooder woodchIps when you want to clean out the brooder. After a year you then have a fantastic material for inoculating the seeds. We have lots of ants because this is drylands... ants particularly move just before rain .. they like to move into somewhere dry. One can change their paths by providing maggots in a desired direction. Spraying vinegar will confuse their sensing trails. If you apply poison, try and do it around the nest exit holes. Pouring down bicarbonate water down the nest will affect their fungal farms under the ground. This is part of their food. Reducing the fungal farms will reduce the ant population. In general, I leave my ant nests alone, except the ones that move into our house block walls because disturbing them makes them move and I end up with more problematic nests.
Avoid free ranging the chickens on all your land at once... Seoerate the areas and allow them to move into the different sections otherwise they choose what they eat and will destroy all the grass.... Move them around into different sections of land to let the grass recuperate, so you have continuously growing grass.
Hi Dr, kindly please I think I have an outbreak in my farm, At the back of the chicks they get swollen and watery around their anal. I don't know what to do please help
Like Dr Daniel why is it that when u vaccinate yr chicks ffolowing de chart they give to us from the sallers ucant finish the chart yet the chicks get aturcked by diseases and yet they re those famers who sales off their stalk at 1mounth fully vaccinated how do they do it yet on the chart it takes like 2and ahalf mouth to finish up the routine
How are you making money right now to keep the farm going u quit your doctor job why don't you ever show the egg harvest and how much you make fm egg sales

Great job Doc, inspirational videos. Love from the UK.
Hey bro. You are doing a great job. Love from Yates farms in Ghana 🇬🇭 ❤️
Thanks Doc.
Wonder if you have thought of eagles, falcons and other birds of prey.
Doc I learnt from several farmers that water direct from the tap is not good for the chickens. How safe is that water you're using?? Is it rain water or what??
So much love from Nigeria
Dan this is good. I think these type of birds can do well on my farm. Let me keep following .
Thank you bro for the videos geting ready to start my

Well done doctor Daniel
What kind of birds did you get for the commercial chicks and where did you buy them
Wonderful work, well done and good job.
I dont know about the sprayer though...
Great work as always.
Wow good job
Thank you Dr. Daniel, very informative
Dr. Daniel, you're really doing a great job thanks so much. But please I have been trying to get across to you, because I need you to guide me on my farm.
I am moving to Tanzania from Toronto Canada 🇨🇦. I will be setting up a poultry farm and would love your expertise to guide me
You can visit the farm that will be awesome

How do you disinfect the wood shavings? What do you use?
Dr. Daniel! I forget if you have already mentioned. What breed are these chicks?
Good job

These trees are grown for commercial sale. So we buy them
@@FarmUp kkkkk((kkk(kk(kk(kk(
Lovely work
Hi just mixt (white sugar and soda) (50/50) and all ants will die...
Wow you’re doing amazing work but where do you sell your chicken eggs/ eat
You should research rain water harvesting systems because all those chicken houses can collect their own water from the roof. I would love to see how you set that up.
Certainly
@@FarmUp looking forward to seeing it
How is the mortality rate for ur dual purpose birds compared to the parent stock?
I only lost 2 out of 530
@@FarmUp Thank you for response, are they f1 or f2 generation, is it possible to rear them as dual purpose parent stock or they have also a particular parent stock that is different
Great work
How much lighting to you have. I'm contemplating to start my own and I like to know how much lighting is needed
Nice birds you have there! watching the channel from the Gambia, how can one get these kind of breed
Smart
Doctor Daniel thanks for the update but when will Chicks be ready for me to buy.do I on September.
Early next year
@@FarmUp l am willing and ready to be among the first people to buy your chicks and I will apply all that am learning from you
Red ants is my biggest worry. They attack at night at ours. How do we control them
How much space do 500 birds need to free range?
Is that a cement floor?
Nice system ..I like the farm consumption part 😅
Haha
Dr. Daniel, what happened about bee hive? Did you start it?
Can the eggs of the multipurpose birds be incubated if i have my own incubator. I guess their eggs are fertilised since they are both hens and cocks.
Sure. They can
Kudos, keep it up

Oh yes. Certainly
What is the name of these particular birds ?
So nice big up dear

U mean you're even in uganda?... I thought you were in kenya
Red ants can wipe your flock over a night.
Talk about fish keeping please. Otherwise thanks for the show.
Can't the chickens eat the ants?
They were too many...and the chickens at that age have only eaten commercial feed. They don't eat them
asantee
