1. Breed with Purpose
Decide what you want: eggs or meat. Different types of chickens grow and perform differently.
Some grow faster for meat, others lay more eggs.
Choose the right type for your goal. Don’t just raise chickens – raise value.
2. Feed Is an Investment, Not an Expense
Cheap feed leads to poor growth and weak birds.
Use balanced feed rich in protein, calcium, vitamins, and utano (nutrition).
Good feed = healthy chickens = better profits.
3. Keep Records – Your Farm is a Business
Write down everything:
How much you spend on chicks
How much feed you use per day
Any birds that die
How much money you make
No records = no business.
If you don’t know your numbers, you won’t know if you’re making money — or losing it.
4. Biosecurity – Keep It Clean, Keep It Safe
Use footbaths at the entrance of the poultry house
Limit visitors
Clean water and feed containers daily
Disinfect the space regularly
Sick chickens will ruin your profits. Prevention is cheaper than cure.
5. Market First, Grow Later
Don’t raise chickens and then look for buyers.
Find your market before you even buy chicks.
Talk to butcheries, restaurants, neighbors, small shops. Use WhatsApp, Facebook, even posters.
Raising chickens without a ready buyer is like cooking a feast with no guests – you’ll be full… of regrets
