How To Start A Poultry Farm Business In Nigeria - “poultry farming in Nigeria is not very easy route either short cut to being a millionaire!” I have seen articles and studies that give unrealistic profits forecast on paper which i label baseless.

There are categorially three types of chicken. They are:
1. Pullets popularly known as Layers: Layers are reared for egg production and most lucrative but more stressing when compare to the other once.
2. Broiler Chicken: Broilers are reared for meat production strictly; The Broilers grows very faster and are ready for sale at 12 weeks from their hatch.
3. The last is the cockerel: This is also reared for meat production. . Cockerels grow slower and can take up to twenty four weeks before they are matured for marketing.
Cockerels are more reliable in terms of withstanding bad weathers and survival. They are more resilient, and can absorb shocks far better than Layers and Broilers.amazing fact
Research Your Product
As the saying goes, “first things first!” you will need to carry out a proper research on poultry farming. You need to know the pros and the cons in the business, have all grounds covered before starting proper.
Research on the following:
- How often they lay eggs if they are layers
- How you care for them
- The Housing requirements
- Chicken illnesses, symptoms, causes and cures
- And other challenges
- also the Various breeds of birds
- What to look for while selecting day old chicks
- What each breed eats

If you are well ready to fully get into poultry farming in Nigeria, I recommend that you get a plot of land. Buying a land to situate your poultry firm can be said to be the most expenses but convinient you will make in the poultry business but you should see it as yourasset which it definitely is. Because if by any chance the business fold up or fails, you can sell off the land and recover some of your capital spent. Here are some tips to land acquisition for your farm.
Acquire land in a remote areas. I said because land in such less developed areas are more cheaper. You can acquire 3 or 4 plots of land in the rural area for the price of 1 plot of land in the developed area or city. Hrnce, you will not have to bother with animal/human cohabit polices and programmes.
Make sure that the land you acquire is easilly accessible so that your birds can be transported to the urban area for sell without any form of stress.
Housing/Coop
Housing for your birds is another important factor to consider before you can start your own poultry farming in Nigeria. Here are a few basic tips;
- You make sure that your coop is easily accessible, as you will need to make regular visits to feed, refill water and clean the coop.
- Include a roosting area in your coop (if you have layers)
- Employ a means for handling or disposing chicken manure/ waste.
- Visit any reputable and good looking poultry farm to see how the house is constructed.
- You construct a well ventilated coop (hen house) for your chickens; well aired but not too warm. Your coop should be able to keep off rodents, snakes, cats and other predators.
- You nnsure there is enough space for the birds to move around. The space helps curtail an outbreak of epidemic.
Your birds will need a well prepared chicken feed which is the right type for their breed, age, for growth and sustenance. To make sure that your birds grow fast and stay healthy, buy quality and high reputation chicken feed products. You can buy chicken feeds in any animal product store close to you. As there are different types of feeds in the market, make sure you are buying the right kind of feed that suits your birds at every point in time (e.g. chick starter, Broiler starter, Layer feeds etc. There are locally made feeds. I would advise that if you will have to use these locally formulated feeds, be sure of what you are doing.
When it comes to feeding your chickens, here are a few basic tips;
- Don't feed your birds’ moldy food. It will harm them.
- Make sure there is always clean drinking water.
- Check on the feeders and water troughs all the time; so you can remove chicken droppings from them.
- Birds eat small amounts of feed frequently, so fill the chicken’s feeders so that food will be available for them always. Or you can feed them at certain times of the day (morning and evening).
- Chickens do not eat in the dark so have the lights on for the birds to eat in the night.
- And make sure feed is stored in a dry cool environment
To guarantee constant and uninterupted production of chicken and eggs, your birds must be regularly checked by a veterinary doctor to ensure they are in good health. Your chickens should be vaccinated to prevent all bird diseases like fowl cholera, fowl pox ,bird flu, etc. I advise you have a personal vet doctor for your chickens.
Maintenance Tips
- Good Heat lamp must be available at all times in your poultry farm to keep the chickens warm, especially during the raining season.
- Poultry business requires time and attention and focuse
- Note that as breeds of chickens are different, so are their feeds and medication.
- Clean out your poultry farm regularly and disinfect your coop on a regular basis to avoid diseases.
- Use wood shavings for your coop floor.
- If starting a poultry farming in Nigeria, I recommend you start small and then grow over time.
