Agriculture is not for those who are faint hearted especially poultry birds. I used to think it was going to go smoothy but i was disappointed recently.
For like a month now my chickens in the farm have been falling sick. I did not study any course related to agriculture when i was in school so i barely know what to do when animals fall sick. Though we have been into farming business longer than i can remember but we have never tried poultry. I decided to try them out and i stock 40 of them (broilers) in my farm. I bought them when they were two weeks old.
It has not been good for me in the past few weeks i have recorded a lot of deaths among my chickens. I have been on the road due to steemit meet ups so the worker in the farm takes care of my chickens in the farm and my younger brother assists me with the ones at home.
Got a call from my mum yesterday that i should come do something bouh the chickens in the farm. She told me most of them died already.
Then i was with 
On getting home i decided to just go to the farm and bring the remaining ones home. On getting there i was so disappointed. Chicks that were previously 40 now remains 13 and most of them were still looking sick.
I felt bad but as a man i had to gather myself together.
It Was In The Night That I Went To Pack Them
see how dirty their coop is
I guess mum needs to sack the worker. Guess he is tired of working on the farm. He does not take care of them at all. Everywhere was just messed up
Their feed is filled with dirt
This Is All That Remains
I already had a place prepared for them at home. All i just did was to pour some dust on the floor
After preparing the place i put the chickens in there. I gave them new feed and put glucose in their water.
Some were still looking sick but when i woke up in the morning all of them were still awake.
I already called in a vet and he will be coming to check them up..
Not really counting my loss but thanking God for the gift of life..
My advice to people who are trying to venture into poultry business is to be strong and be ready for anything. Most importantly take care of it yourself.
