The eggs are sold directly to hotels and shops. The cocks are sold to wholesalers in bulk and also end users. Following links could be of assitance: http://www.kari.org/site...igenous_poultry_mgt.pdf http://www.infonet-biovi...ct/274/livestockSpecies The rich have money working for them; the poor and the middle class are going to work for money.

Age...Moulting...Lightining...feed to egg conversion...during winter chicken tend to eat more...they need the energy to keep themselves warm..feed them more...im sorry if your profit margins drop...also check the age of your layers...old ones deserve to be culled...also lightining atleast 14hrs...sorry vitamins wont help.

I have already changed feed as adviced, giving some egg booster and also increased lightining hours and I can see improvement for the last two days. Keeping fingers closed. thanks all.

Kigumo konstituency some 50 km from Thika town.Today I pulled a 237 per tray.240 is close to good enough i thnk.The best way I think is to go for the market without brokers.

Thats like 20k per week? u r loaded bro! Kindly Recommend madawa ya vacinnation - what u r using. The last time i tried this project the cocci and related avian gods were not amused!
