Hi I am a start up and have come across some challenges in the marketing are I have come to realise the following 1. I started to late with my marketing and had to continue with feeding even after the 6 weeks 2. Branding of the product as well as the weighing of the chickens is a challenge cause now my chickens are bigger than the normal ones in the market 3. Transporting of the chickens they need special kind of transport and ventilated transport since I am in a very hot area 4. Bookkeeping is a challenge as well For me this was a expensive lesson but I don't want to be discouraged please advise on how I can do better

@@janeshangwina6819 thank you very much for sharing your experience. it is valuable to some of use who wants to learn. Kindly check your message before you send, some spelling errors makes it difficult to read and follow the important advice you offer. I hope you take this advice well I don't intend to be mean. I have the following questions 1 How much start up cost do I need 2 what are the most important things to consider at the beginning. 3 What are the different types of broilers. 3.1 which broilers are easier to raise 3.2 does each broiler type cost differently 4 who are the best broiler breeders in the market (companies)
So 200 broiler eats 20 bags of feed which is R8000 then a chick is R8.50 and slaughter fee is R8 per bird. So it works out R 27 per kg of Caucasus bird
@@maxpyn8120 Hi good evening am busy with my chicken house but am interested in broiler will start with 200 broilers do you know.We is Our poultry place in joosten vlagtes in Cape town am interested in the chicken combos
@AndreMentoor ok nice I saw it on Google maps it's 25km away from me. I'm going to agri transfer college to do the 3day course and then I will look around were I can start I was thinking of renting a warehouse and start
I would suggest that the poultry houses have gutters to collect rain water..
I am going through this challenge now the rainy season showed me flames and its best to correct these things at the beginning

3.2 does each broiler type cost differently
4 who are the best broiler breeders in the market (companies)
Does the barcode help or improve your sales and in what way if so?
So 200 broiler eats 20 bags of feed which is R8000 then a chick is R8.50 and slaughter fee is R8 per bird. So it works out R 27 per kg of Caucasus bird
Thanks for the much needed informative Vid. May you kindly share similar Video on Layers. Or maybe share a link If you have already done one.
