    Very sorry Doctor, but it was expected, my advice is to agree with your dad to refund you the cost of the structure and go and concentrate on the main big farm don't overstretch yourself, remember our road's in Uganda are death trap, commuting now and again you will loose focus a distance of 350-400Km is not a joke,in the first place you had made a right decision to quit your medical profession and concentrate on your small farm, luckily you got involved in a bigger farming project now the challenge is distance, focus on one location to maximise output

    Mistakes are messages that give us feedback about life.Interruptions that should cause us to reflect and think.Signposts that direct us to the right path.Tests that push us toward greater maturity.Awakenings that keep us in the game mentally.Keys that we can use to unlock the next door of opportunity.Explorations that let us journey where we've never been before.Statements about our development and progress.

    Dr DANIEL good morning sorry for your loss of those fouls. My mum who is 93 going on 94 said years ago her mother experienced the same sought of thing when they were small with some yard flows. What she did was use lemon juice or pieces of ALOES in each of the water pots for the sick ones to drink. Since you are not keeping them you can pass on the information to the other person or persons who will be taking them.

    Heart breaking, My parents had brooders and I worked on a free range egg operation for 15 years so I know how much energy is sapped out of you when something like this happens. It's so hard to get birds back to exeptable laying figures after something like this goes through a flock. I'm Sure your doing the right thing cutting your loses and starting over. You've obviously got the right attitude and that's worth everything. Enjoying you videos very much thankyou.

They prefer stealing. twice a month, I make sure buy some food stuff to assist their salary. e.g rice,beans,garri and other ingredients , they will thank me, the day they will steall. Have changed alot of workers, both male and female, they are all the same. I pay them well. Please advise me.
