If you’re feeding ground maize to your chicks, STOP - you’re starving them slowly.

Listen, I know feed prices are high. But giving chicks only maize or ‘custom mash’ in the first 2 weeks is like feeding a newborn baby just water.

No protein.
No vitamins.
No minerals.

You may not see the damage in the first few days…But by Week 3, they’re already behind:

Poor weight gain
Weak immunity
Delayed feathering

By the time you try to ‘CORRECT’ it, it’s too late, the growth potential is gone.

What should you feed?

Start with a quality chick super starter or starter with 20–22% protein minimum. It may cost more upfront, but it saves you loss in the long run.

Healthy start = faster growth = better profit.

You’re not brooding chicks, you’re roasting them!

Too many beginners crank up the heat on day-old chicks thinking, ‘The hotter, the better.’

But what happens?

The chicks start panting… they crowd in corners… and some even drop dead.

Let me give you a simple truth:

Brooding is about consistent warmth, not extreme heat. If your heat source is too close, or your brooder has no ventilation, you are roasting your chicks.

Here’s how to know it’s too hot:

Chicks are spread far from the heat source

They’re opening their beaks, panting

Some are lying flat, weak, or dying

Solution?

Use a thermometer: Keep temp around 32–35°C in the first few days

Watch chick behavior: They’ll tell you if it’s too hot or too cold

Adjust height of heat source, don’t guess

Don’t lose your flock in the first week, get the brooding temperature right!

Have you ever lost chicks during brooding?

Your birds are getting sick… and it’s not because of the weather. It’s because of YOUR shoes.

Let me explain.

One of the biggest mistakes beginner poultry farmers make is walking straight from outside… into their poultry house… with the same shoes they wore in the car, in the market, in the bush.

Guess what’s on those shoes?

Coccidiosis spores. Newcastle virus. E. coli. Gumboro.

You're literally walking disease into your flock without realizing it.

Even if you’ve cleaned the pen, given all the right feed, and followed the schedule, all it takes is one step from a contaminated boot to ruin everything.

🧼 Here’s what to do:
Keep separate footwear for the pen ONLY.

Use a foot dip at the entrance. Just a shallow tray with disinfectant.

Change your clothes or wear a farm coat when entering.

This tiny change can save you from losing 50, 100, or even 500 birds to preventable infections.

Don’t wait until your birds start dropping, start protecting them now.

STOP! Don’t buy chicks until you hear this.

Most beginner poultry farmers fail not because they’re lazy, not because they don’t have money BUT because they jump into farming with vibes and YouTube videos instead of a real plan.

I’m a vet. I’ve helped hundreds of farmers. And let me tell you:

The first 7 days will make or break your entire cycle.

That’s why I created the Poultry Starter Toolkit, a full guide that shows you what to do from the moment your chicks arrive till Week 8.

✅ Brooding checklist
✅ Vaccine + medication plan
✅ Growth & feed tracker
✅ Biosecurity tips
✅ Emergency rescue guide

It’s NOT a Google document. It’s real-life-tested.
If you’re serious about poultry, don’t start blind.

If your chicks arrive weak or start dying within 24 hours, listen up.

Most chick losses happen in the first 48 hours. Why?

👉 Poor brooding setup
👉 Cold temperatures
👉 No glucose support on arrival

These mistakes cost you real money.

Think about it: losing just one chick at market size is over ₦7,000 gone. That’s profit straight down the drain.

That’s why the Poultry Starter Toolkit includes a complete Chick Arrival Protocol, showing you exactly what to do before, during, and after your chicks land so you keep them healthy and alive from day one.

✅ Avoid early death
✅ Protect your investment
✅ Raise stronger, faster-growing birds

All for just ₦5,000, less than the cost of losing one healthy market-size bird.

Starting a poultry farm can feel like guessing your way through a jungle.

Too many opinions, confusing schedules, and tiny mistakes that cost you big.

I’ve seen farmers lose 100 chicks by week 2 just because they didn’t get the basics right.

That’s why I created something powerful — a the Poultry Starter Toolkit to guide you from day-old chicks to week 8 without the confusion.

Why did I create this Poultry Starter Toolkit?

Because almost every beginner I met was doing the same things.

❌ Over-medicating birds
❌ Wrong brooding temperature
❌ Feeding too much or too little

They didn’t have a guide.

And it was costing them money, birds, and time.

So I poured my 5+ years of experience and over 50 farm consultations into this Toolkit.

It’s not perfect.

But it’s practical.

🎯 And it’s better than guessing

I had a beginner farmer tell me, ‘If I had this Toolkit earlier, I would’ve saved over 80 chicks.’

And it broke my heart.

Because I created this Toolkit so that no one would have to learn the hard way again.

It has your vaccination plan.

Your brooding checklist.

Your feed and weight tracker.

All tested, all based on real farms, not theory.

Don’t wait until you’re counting losses before you prepare.
