@@malebyetabane3169 Hi thanx for the interest I am doing my poultry farming in Kimberly south africa luckily my first 100 is all gone with a lot of a struggle buti used ittomzke sure that I enter the market the lesson learnedarethe following 1. Chickens are not pets and there is a time frame to adhere to no matter what there are rules to adhere to 2.With my second bunch I reduced the number so I can implement my learned mistakes so this ti e around I am to stick to to the time that they are supposed to be out and not delay thereis no such thing g as a perfect product the more I delay the more I will be losing on my revenues so we continue 3. Life happens all the time I had a accident while my second bunches just 2 weeks had to rely on my family to take care of thechicksghey already now and itsi e to take them out there is no such thing of wanting to send out the same quality product causethosechickens of mine where way over the market size 4. I have invested in a trailer in order to be able to transport my chickens better atleast now I can feel that thereisamove in the right direction 5. I am looking into ways of doing my book keeping better so I can be able to answer some questions that I am unable to at the moment I am open to any assistance at the moment and I thank you for the email sorry for the late response but I have been down and out just recovering

@@janeshangwina6819 I am sorry to hear about your açcident. I hope you foot is healing well. Utilize the support of the farmer support from DAFF because its free service and they are responsible for startup farmers to be successful.. South African Poultry Association is also having a lot of information to can benefit u on ur project. Or any Poultry Association of ur choice for that matter. Informal market is also one of the reliable because they will depend on your product once u develop good relationship.
