NUMBER OF BAGS TO FEED 100 LAYERS CHICKS FROM DAY OLD TO THE POINT OF LAYING.

ONLY 14 BAGS

1. One layer chick eats 2kg of mash feed feed from 0 to 8 weeks multiply by 100 layer chicks divided by 50 to convert to number of bags= 4 bags

2. One layer eats 5kg of mash grower from 9 to 18 weeks that is to the point of lay multiply by 100 divided by 50 to get the number of bags = 10 bags.

FROM POINT OF LAY TO SELLING THEM AS EX LAYERS

3. ONE LAYER chicken at this this stage it is not called a chick,it must consume 40kg of layer mash feed multiply by 100 birds divided by 50kg to get your number of bags.you will get 80 bags which will be fed from 19weeks upto the time you will sell them as ex layers.

80 bags looks alot but it's not because your chickens at this point are buying feed for themselves.

Without guidance you may assume poultry farming is just feeding birds and waiting for them to grow, but with experience you will understand that Management, Timing, Planning, and Monitoring are the real pillars of success.

Let's don't waste money and time, thinking we are doing poultry farming without getting the necessary guidance before.

The journey is not an easy one.
