The Chicken and it’s products are very rich source of protein of which we all agreed to that – you and I need the proteins derived from chicken to maintain healthy living.

It is generally believed that every child needs not less than an egg a day for their normal growth. While every adult needs like ten in a week; Poultry also provides meat for delicacies – no tribe or religion that forbids chicken meat. Everyone likes it, that’s why poultry products sells very fast and in high demand.

The Benefits of Poultry Farming are so numerous that this page may not contain it all. Apart from the chicken being used as food, Poultry Farming is equally profitable. A good poultry farmer earns above N20 million per annul depending on how big the farm is.  All these benefits are open to you if you start your own poultry farm today!

There are basically three different breeds of bird for poultry business. We have the Broilers, Cockerels, and Layers. The Broilers grows very faster and are ready for sale at 12 weeks from hatch. Cockerels grows slower and can take up to twenty four weeks before they are matured for marketing.

But, Cockerels are reliable in terms of survival and withstanding bad weathers. They are more resilient, and can absorb shocks far better than Layers and Broilers.

Poultry Farming is a bit capital intensive – it’s all like trading money to make more money. You need to prepare for this especially if you wants to start on a higher scale. But be assured of making back whatever amount of money you invested in the business in multiple fold within a short period of time. Before you venture into poultry farming business, you need to seat back and do proper calculation and planning; make sure you have idea of all the costs involved.

In this article, I’ll be endeavor to give you the ideas of what is involved so you can build upon it; and through commenting, people can as well add their own ideas and findings to compliment the write up. So, I hope to make this article as explicit as I can, and as we keep adding updates it may end up becoming one stop destination on information about poultry farming.

Currently, they seem to be no high-level, hi-tech poultry farms in this country like the ones we used to see in USA, Europe, and Asia. Any investor who has enough nerve and needs capital to venture into it will have reasons to smile within a short period of investment. Up till now, Nigeria still imports chicken from other countries because the ones the local farmers produce are not enough to meet the demand of the over 150 Million citizens.

There is certainly a huge market for poultry rearing in this country as well as in other countries. Now – if you’re ready to get started and hit the goldmine that is awaiting in the poultry farming business, here are the basic requirements you need to set up your farm.

Acquire Land In a Good Location

One plot of land of 120 x 60 square meters is perfect for setting up a medium-scale poultry farm, at least for a start. Once you have land that is big enough for your farm set up, half of your needs have been taken care of. The land is about the hardest and probably the most expensive part of the poultry business in places like Lagos, Abuja, and other major cities.

Since you may not be allowed to carry out Poultry farming amongst residents or other populated environment due to the smell that is associated with poultry rearing and the subsequent health impact, I’ll advice that you look for land in a rural area or in farms. There you will get lands cheaper, stays out of trouble and do your production there, while your products will be transported to the urban area for sell.

You can get a large chunk of land in a developing area for small amount compared to how much you will get the same size of land in a city like Lagos. I know a woman who has her poultry farm on eight plots of land in Ijede area of Ikorodu which she acquired for less than five Hundred Thousand Naira when Ijede was still very ruler.

It is recommended that you get your own poultry farm land and build a permanent farm rather than to lease to avoid disruption. If you lease a property, the owner may decide to issue you quit notice at the point you should be settling down and making progress in the business. And relocating always comes with huge cost.

Except you have much money to invest in poultry farming business in a large scale and operate with the best of technology, city may not be ideal for you due to the smelly nature of poultry farm. If you are in Lagos — look for lands in places like Ijebu, Imota, Odogunnya, etc. A plot of land in these area goes for within N500,000!

Build Chicken House For Your Birds

Chicken Coop or poultry house is the building where your chicken will be kept. This is the second most important part of your poultry farm set up. The sizes and construction varies based on your need but make sure the building is spacious enough for the chicken to run around.

The house should be constructed in a way that you will be able to control the ventilation and air movement. Get a qualified engineer to do designing and building for you if you are going for large-scale construction. Else, you can just visit any good poultry farm to see how the house is constructed. Click here to speak with a poultry expert.

The diagram below is the typical design of the standard chicken house. Like I said before, visit Poultry farms to see how it is done in your area.

Poultry farm house - Feasibility study on poultry farming

Poultry farm house plan

When planning out your Hens house, always remember that space is very important. Don’t compromise on this to avoid frequent loss of your birds through suffocation and contamination.

Buy Healthy Day Old Chicks For Starting

You need to acquire your birds (normally day-old chicks) and will have to take very good care of them for the first seven to nine weeks of their life. You must buy your day-old-chicks from a healthy source — the productivity of your chicks depends on how healthy they are!

Buy from chicken hatchery that mainly deals with the supplying of different species of day-old chickens. It’s better to buy from the hatchery, Chicken hatchery usually produce good quantity of day old chicks through the use of incubators. The estimated price for day old chicken in Nigeria is N100 – N250. Negotiate the prices with the sellers, you can get it cheaper if you’re buying from 500 chicks.

SEE ALSO: How To Start Frozen Chicken Business In Nigeria And make Millions

Drop your address and phone number below in the comment box if you are day-old-chicken supplier in Nigeria so that people who needs it may patronize you. You may drop your site address if you have.

Please, do not pay anyone money until you see the chickens — 419ers are everywhere trying to take advantage of people who have the money. Be wise with your money and pay only when the goods is supplied!

So if you want to start with 500 birds for your new poultry farm, you will need nothing less than N2 million. This will cover the cost of land, a piece of land in a rural area which is quite expensive in Lagos State. And you must ensure that you have enough space for the chickens to run around; then you put up low cost poultry house or any type you think you can afford because chickens need shelter from the rain and predators.

Get Feeds, Feeders And Water Troughs

Chicken feed is very important if you want good harvest. You can buy feeds at stores and make sure you buy the sack of feed that bears the label for the kind of chickens you have, such as Broiler starter, Chick starter, Layer feeds, etc. The store feeds are basically balanced feed which will help your chickens do fine if you don’t feed them other feeds.

Avoid cheap feeds that have low nutritional value — your bird wouldn’t do well with that, don’t just buy because they are cheap, buy because the feed is quality and contains good nutritional value.

You can also set out whole grains in a separate feeder if you like. I do. This can save you a lot of money if you have a source of cheap grain, especially if you use a high-protein chicken feed. For example, a high-protein layer ration with 20% protein will be formulated for use with supplemental grain, with the assumption that the hens will eat about 50% layer ration and 50% grain.

Chicks need lots of  protein and will pretty much ignore supplemental grain until they’re older and aren’t growing as fast. There’s really little point in offering them grain until they’re 6-8 weeks old.  — Plamondon.com/faq

Apart from the feeding, you need to regularly vaccinate your chickens to protect them from bird flu and other diseases. Feeding is extensive, you have to feed them from day-old to maturity.

Important: Light must be available at all time in your poultry farm to keep the chickens warm, especially during raining season when the humidity is always very low.  Look for reliable source of power to supply your hens house with heat and light.

Most layers will start laying eggs the moment they are 18 weeks old but some wait till they are about 22 weeks old. Whichever way, Layer farming is considered the most lucrative of all poultry farming. This is because Layers do two things, they lay eggs which fetch good money in the market, and are equally sold for the meat.

A full crate of pullet eggs sells for about N500, while a crate of semi-pullet sells for N650 wholesale price. If your Layers are large enough to produce 10,000 crates of large eggs which sells for N700, you will be making at least N650 X 10,000 = N6,500,000 From eggs alone!

The chickens itself is another ball game! A fully grown chicken sells for between N2,000 and N2,500 (N1,500 to N2,000 at wholesale price) depending on the size and maturity level. Therefore, ten thousand chickens will give you N1,500 x 10,000 = N15,000,000!

    Hi Darlinton,
    Thanks for your input.
    However, you mentioned about diagram of typical design of a standard chicken house in your piece but no such image is found down the line.

    • Darlinton Omeh November 7, 2013

      Getting a day old chicks is not difficult, ask other poultry farmers near you, they may have it direct you to where you can get it

    • Emma Odafe July 6, 2017

      Booking a day old chicks from the hatchery.
      FirSt it depends on the number of birds you want to start with. If you’re starting a big farm you can register your farm with the hatchery and book them your self but if you wanna start a medium scale farm like Mr Darlinton surgested I’ll advice you contact a booking agent to book them for you.
      I do that for farmers at Aiyedoto Poultry Farm Estate. Located in Ojo Lagos State. I dont know your location but if you’re not in Lagos look for other farms where you are so they can help you with the booking.
      God Bless You!!!

    Mr Darlington,

    Thanks for the education. Please, what is the average cost of the housing for 1,000 layers and where can one get such? In order to start poultry business in Nigeria, is there any Organization one should register with? Please, will you mind having your telephone number?

    Regards
    Olushola.

    • Darlinton Omeh February 10, 2014

      You don't have to register with any organization, go ahead and start your poultry. I don't give prices because prices changes from time to time. Again, there are different types of housing, it all depends on the type you want.

    • Emma Odafe July 6, 2017

      As a poultry farmer is good you register with PAN (Poultry Association of Nigeria )
      A day old pullets is N150 ×1,000 excluding transportation.
      To build a suitable pen house for 1000 birds will cost about N1,000,000 but you can lease an already made pen house in a government cooperative poultry farm estate in Lagos that’s if you reside in Lagos.

      God Bless You

    Bro, I'm very glad to read ur educative nd usefull research work, I am jst a starter nd acqured the land nd even finished d construction now, bt my prblm nw is wch type should I start with that is more profitable broilers or layers? I wnt to start with 500 day old chicks need ur advice pls.

    • Emma Odafe July 6, 2017

      Layer is more profitable but requires a lot of funding and patience. If you start with layer you’ll need to have about 1,000,000 in your account for their feeding and medications until they get to 20 to 22 weeks when they’ll start feeding themselves and making money for you.

      Broiler within 8 to 12 weeks are ready to be sold.
      Restaurants will buy them within 7 to 8 weeks.

      God Bless You

    what if i buy 50 day old to start a business is it okay

    • Emma Odafe July 6, 2017

      That depends on how many 50 days old you intend buying. You said for business. I’ll advice you buy a day old because there are several vaccines that need to be applied at different stages of their growth. If you buy 50 days chicks the person you both them from may not apply all the necessary vaccines because they’ll be too profit concious since try intend selling as point of lay.

      God Bless You

  • Olumide January 23, 2016

    The illustration is not explanatory enough, you said 10000 crates…, about 300,000 birds will produce that amount of crate and the same should go for the sale of the old layers which is meant to be 300000 multiplied by 2500. I believe the small scale production could have been the best illustration.

    • Darlinton Omeh January 23, 2016

      The 10,000 crates of eggs are not to be produced in one day. 5,000 layers can produce more than 10,000 crates of eggs in one year at the rate of one eggs in two days.

      A good vet shop should not be too far from where your farm is because of when you will be vaccinating your birds. Which is very important in poultry farming.
      If your poultry farm is too far from where you will buy the vaccine, it will get damaged if you don’t apply a very good method to preserve it.
      Do you have the experience to be on your own.

      God Bless You
