Each layer bird can lay approximately 300+ eggs in 60 weeks i.e., about a year with proper management.

If you have 1000 birds, you can get more than 300,000 eggs.

In my area, an egg is R1.50 and with 300,000 eggs you can make R450 000

It's makes business sense now 🐔🥚🤑

TWO DISTINCT LEADERSHIP STYLES

Leadership styles exhibited by Mother Hen and Mother Duck.

The Mother hen lead from the back, while the Duck leads from the front.

The fact that the mother hen stays behind the chicks while the duck goes ahead of them highlights two different leadership styles: leading from behind and leading from the front.

Leading from behind, as demonstrated by the mother hen, is a leadership style that emphasizes support and empowerment. This style involves staying back to provide guidance and encouragement to followers, allowing them to take the lead and make decisions. It requires a high level of trust in the followers' abilities and a willingness to let them take the lead. This leadership style is effective in situations where followers have a high level of competence and need minimal direction.

Leading from the front, as demonstrated by the duck, is a leadership style that emphasizes direction and control. This style involves taking the lead and setting the direction for follower.
Good afternoon folks. Wish you all a beautiful weekend..

A lady approached an old street vendor and asked, "How much do you sell your eggs for?" The elderly man replied, "R2 an egg, madam." The lady responded, "I'll take 6 eggs for R8.00, or I'll leave." The old man, needing the sale, said, "Buy them at the price you want, Madam. This is a good start for me because I haven't sold a single egg today, and I need this to live."
She bought the eggs at her negotiated price and left, feeling as though she had won. She then got into her fancy car and went to a high-end restaurant with a friend. They ordered what they wanted, ate a little, and left much of the food untouched. When the bill came, totaling R250, the ladies gave R300 and told the restaurant owner to keep the change as a tip.
This story might seem normal to the restaurant owner, but it's a stark contrast to the interaction with the egg seller. It raises an important question: Why do we feel the need to assert our power when buying from those in need, yet show generosity to those who don't require it?
There’s a story of a father who used to buy goods from poor people at a higher price than they asked, even though he didn’t need the items. Sometimes, he paid more than the asking price. His children, puzzled by this, eventually asked him, "Why do you do this, Dad?" The father replied, "It’s charity wrapped in dignity."
Most people might not share this message, but for those who take the time to read it, this small attempt at "humanization" may be one step further in the right direction.

There are several ways to calculate profit for a layer poultry farm, including:

Feed cost per egg
Divide the cost of feed by the number of eggs produced per layer to calculate the cost of feed per egg.

Break-even calculator
Use a spreadsheet to calculate the price per pound or per bird needed to break even.

Profit margin
The profit margin for a chicken farm can vary, but is generally around 10%.

Number of chickens
The number of chickens needed depends on the desired egg production. For example, to get about a dozen eggs per week, you need 3 to 5 laying hens. To get two dozen eggs per week, you need 6 to 10 laying hens.

Light
During the winter months, keep the light on for 14 hours to keep the eggs coming.

Type of chicken
Some say that local chickens are the most profitable type of chicken, followed by broilers. Spent layers and aged broiler breeders earn the least profits.

Reasons why Mushrooms should be grown in dark rooms

1. Optimal growth conditions: Mushrooms grow best in dark, humid environments. Growing them in dark rooms allows for better control of temperature, humidity, and ventilation, which are crucial factors in their growth.

2. Protection from light: Mushrooms are sensitive to light and can be damaged by exposure to UV radiation. Growing them in dark rooms protects them from harmful light and promotes healthy growth.

3. Contamination prevention: Dark rooms can help prevent contamination from bacteria, mold, and other fungi that can compete with mushrooms for nutrients and hinder their growth.

4. Increased yield: Growing mushrooms in dark rooms can result in higher yields due to the ability to create optimal growing conditions and reduce contamination risks.

5. Energy savings: By using dark rooms for mushroom cultivation, energy consumption can be reduced since there is no need for artificial lighting.

6. Better flavor: Growing mushrooms in the dark allows them to develop a richer, earthier flavor due to the lack of exposure to light.

7. Improved texture: Mushrooms grown in dark rooms tend to have a firmer texture, which makes them more desirable for cooking and other culinary uses.

8. Enhanced nutrient content: Studies have shown that mushrooms grown in dark environments contain higher levels of beneficial nutrients such as vitamin D and antioxidants.

9. Reduced pests and insects: By growing mushrooms in dark rooms, the risk of pests and insects is greatly reduced, as they are less attracted to dark spaces.

10. Sustainable farming practices: Growing mushrooms in dark rooms is a sustainable farming practice that minimizes the use of resources such as water and energy, making it an environmentally friendly option.

Important information about candling an egg ℹ️

Candling of eggs should be done on the 7th and 14th day of incubation. On the 7th day, clear eggs indicate infertility, red blood vessels (resemble tree branches) indicate fertile eggs while red or black staining and blood rings indicate early death at this point.

On the 14th day, eggs that are three-quarters completely dark from the narrow end and a quarter clear at the broad end (air sac space) indicate that the embryo is developing while a dark outline with ill-defined detail indicates late death of the embryo.

Refrain from candling after day 16 as the eggs should not be moved or turned days prior to hatching. The candling equipment usually looks like a small flashlight powered by either batteries or plug-in cord and can be sourced from incubator suppliers.

Egg eating in poultry is a common issue and can be caused by several factors. Here are the main causes and prevention methods:

🥚Causes of Egg Eating:

🥚Nutritional Deficiency: A lack of protein or calcium in the diet can lead hens to eat eggs to fulfill their nutritional needs.

🥚 Boredom: If chickens are kept in small or dull environments without enough stimulation, they may peck at eggs out of boredom.

🥚 Accidental Discovery: Eggs that are broken accidentally may attract hens, and once they discover the taste, they may develop the habit.

🥚 Overcrowding: When hens are overcrowded, they may accidentally break eggs, leading to egg eating.

🥚 Inadequate Nesting: Poorly designed or insufficient nesting areas may cause hens to lay eggs in unsafe areas, where the eggs are more likely to break.

Preventive Methods:
--------------------------------

🥚 Improve Nutrition: Ensure the hens have a balanced diet with sufficient protein (16-18%) and calcium. Oyster shells or crushed eggshells can be offered as a calcium supplement.

🥚 Collect Eggs Frequently: Collect eggs several times a day to reduce the chance of eggs being pecked or broken.

🥚 Provide Enrichment: Give hens access to foraging material, dust baths, or toys to keep them engaged and prevent boredom.

🥚 Use Proper Nesting Boxes: Ensure nesting boxes are dark, quiet, and comfortable to encourage hens to lay eggs in safe spots. Consider roll-away nest boxes that automatically move eggs out of reach.

🥚 Crush or Remove Broken Eggs: Clean up broken eggs immediately to prevent hens from tasting them.

🥚 Place Fake Eggs: Putting golf balls or ceramic eggs in nesting boxes can discourage hens from pecking at real eggs.

🥚 Culling Habitual Egg Eaters: Once hens develop the egg-eating habit, it can be difficult to break. In some cases, culling may be necessary to prevent the behavior from spreading.

Implementing these preventive measures can help reduce or eliminate egg eating in your poultry flock.

Guidelines for the first seven days of brooding ℹ️

🟤Early placement of chicks in the house, access to fresh clean water and feed after arrival is important .

The time of transport from the hatchery to the farm should be as quick as possible. There is no need for further delay once you have collected your birds from the hatchery/sales point.

On placement, provide an hour of clean water mixed with glucose or Vitastress, and wait to give feed until the one hour period of water is done. This helps to avoid constipation issues in chicks!

Once again, make sure good feed and fresh clean drinking water is readily available and easily accessible to reduce time for searching for feed and water by the newly arrived chicks. Please note that putting water/drinkers near pots or any other heat source is not good, when water is hot birds do not drink it.

Four hours after placement, randomly pick some of the chicks and check the crop fill .The target crop fill should be 85%. After 12hrs , it should be above 95%, and after 24hrs, the target crop fill should be above 98 to 100%.

🟤Use of digestible raw materials in making feed for the chicks is necessary as their digestive system is not mature or always use chicks feed from reputable commercial feed manufacturer (lik ethiochicken in Ethiopia).

Don't try to produce your own feed if you are not an expertise in that field, instead purchase good an approved feed supplier within your locality to avoid stories that touch.

🟤Place highly hygienic materials that have been adequately sanitized and disinfected in the brooding house. You should know that the chicks' immune response is not fully developed any health compromise might be more devastating for young chicks compared to older ones.

Biosecurity measures like foot baths, disinfection of premises and disinfection of equipment should be done using a struat and trusted disinfectant.
