How to construct a poultry house: Commercial chicken farming requires a high-level of expertise, understanding and commitment to be successful. Whilst it’s important to emphasize the need for excellent flock management at all times, something that comes with experience and aptitude, adopting the correct housing techniques and equipment will set a firm foundation for success of your poultry venture. The following is a guiding checklist for poultry house construction: "A poultry house should provide the birds with a comfortable environment and protect them from the extremities of the prevailing weather (rain, wind and sunshine). "It should have adequate space for the flock to be kept in the house. The ideal stocking density is: 1. Layers: one square metre for 6 birds. 2. Broilers: One square metre for 11 birds. "It should be open-sided to allow natural ventilation with an east-west orientation to minimise the amount of sunlight entering the house directly. Its not good for sun rays to strike directly into the poultry house. "It should be rectangular in shape and have a wall not higher than three feet on the longer side. The widith should be at least 7-9 metres, but for the length you are only limited by your land. Avoid building poultry houses in a square form. "The wall can be made from stones, iron sheets, timber, silver boards or bricks "The rest of the side of the wall should have a chicken wire mesh. The wire mesh on the sides of the house should be of a small gauge to prevent entry of wild birds, dogs and rodents. This normal chicken mesh is not long lasting.....within a few months it rusts and gets off the house. its better to use a plastic quoted mesh. "The roof of the house should have a reflecting surface and pitched with overlaps to ensure that the house is comfortable and well ventilated. There should be enough gap between the birds and the roof to avoid heat stress. The pin of the house should be 8 metres from the ground, and the sides should be 5 metres. "Concrete floors are the best finishing as they are easier to clean and disinfect. Do not put "nil" after putting concrete on the floor. "There should be a foot-bath at the entrance of the house for those entering the poultry house to disinfect their foot wear. You know farm boys have a tendency of jumping the foot bath, but if it is wide enough they cannot jump it. "To reduce the risk of rodents gaining entrance into the poultry house, clear all the vegetation in a radius of 3-5 metres around the pen. "The feed store should also be separate from the house to reduce risk of attracting rodents. "It should be constructed in isolated areas to minimise the risk of contamination. "your poultry house plan must have a tank raised inside the poultry house. Exposing water to sunshine in bad, as it gets warm and birds may reject it, or may facilitate heat stress during the dry seasons. "The house should be fenced to exclude stray animals and visitors. "The doors should always be locked. "On poultry farms, an all-in all-out system is the best management practice as it prevents the build up of disease causing organisms and disease outbreaks. Its always good to have one age group in each house, but not putting different ages in one house! In case where farmers want to keep flocks of different ages, then each flock must be housed in its own. Ventilation: Ventilation is the circulation of fresh air through the flock house and exhaustion of stale air out of the flock units and its achieved by air passing from one side of the house and exhausting through the opposite side. Ventilation of poultry houses serves several functions including: 1.Removing excess heat and moisture. 2.Providing oxygen while removing harmful gases. 3.Reducing dust hence improving the air quality. You must always allow optimal ventilation to avoid chicks getting suffocated.

The Cockroach Theory The cockroach theory for self-development At a restaurant, a cockroach suddenly flew from somewhere and sat on a lady. She started screaming out of fear. With a panic-stricken face and trembling voice, she started jumping, with both her hands desperately trying to get rid of the cockroach. Her reaction was contagious, as everyone in her group also got panicky. The lady finally managed to push the cockroach away but ...it landed on another lady in the group. Now, it was the turn of the other lady in the group to continue the drama. The waiter rushed forward to their rescue. In the relay of throwing, the cockroach next fell upon the waiter. The waiter stood firm, composed himself and observed the behaviour of the cockroach on his shirt. When he was confident enough, he grabbed it with his fingers and threw it out of the restaurant. Sipping my coffee and watching the amusement, the antenna of my mind picked up a few thoughts and started wondering, was the cockroach responsible for their histrionic behaviour? If so, then why was the waiter not disturbed? He handled it near to perfection, without any chaos. It is not the cockroach, but the inability of those people to handle the disturbance caused by the cockroach, that disturbed the ladies. I realized that it is not the shouting of my father or my boss or my wife that disturbs me, but it's my inability to handle the disturbances caused by their shouting that disturbs me. It's not the traffic jams on the road that disturbs me, but my inability to handle the disturbance caused by the traffic jam that disturbs me. More than the problem, it's my reaction to the problem that creates chaos in my life. Lessons learnt from the story: I understood I should not react in life. I should always respond. The women reacted, whereas the waiter responded. Reactions are always instinctive whereas responses are always well thought of. A beautiful way to understand LIFE. The HAPPY person is not because Everything is RIGHT in his Life. He is HAPPY because his Attitude towards Everything in his Life is Right!

"𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭". 1. Being productive today isn't about time management, it's about mind management. 2. Time management optimizes the resource of time. Mind management optimizes the resource of creative energy. 3. Not all hours are created equal: If you write for an hour a day, within a year you'll have a book. But you can't instead simply write for 365 hours straight, and get the same result. 4. The First Hour Rule is simply this: Spend the first hour of your day working on your most important project. 5. If you start your day working on the most important thing, there's less of a chance for other things to get in the way. 6. Sometimes your mind is better-suited to think creatively. Sometimes your mind is better-suited to think analytically. 7. The point of time is not to fill as much life as possible into a given unit of time. The point of time is to use time as a guide to living a fulfilling life. 8. A one-hour increase in average daily sleep raises productivity by more than a one-year increase in education. 9. When you randomly switch from one activity to another, your energy leaks...If you're doing that all the time, little of your energy is going toward traction. 10. A Harvard study found that the busier knowledge workers were, the less creative they were; this study found that as workers became more busy , they did less creative thinking activities such as; brainstorming. They reported fewer insights and their work was also rated as less creative by their colleagues . 11. Noise level can also affect your ability to think creatively...studies suggest that a background noise level of about seventy decibels is optimal for idea generation. 12. Things are not difficult to make; what is difficult is putting ourselves in the state of mind to make them.

IMPOSSIBLE TO BE TOGETHER EPISODE 10 Adunni's step mother finally got home, and the first thing she did was to start shouting at adunni. From where I stood, i could hear the conversation between her and adunni. “You stupid, hopeless girl, what did I told you before leaving for the market this morning?”....... she yelled angrily. “You said i should come meet you at the market when I am done with the house chores”........ adunni replied, at the verge of shedding tears. “So why didn't you come to the market, as i had instructed?”.......her step mother yelled again. “ I'm sorry maami, i was busy at home, so I forgot to come to the market”....... adunni pleaded on her knees. “Don't worry, by the time i am done with you, you will never disobey my orders again”...... adunni's step mother said angrily. She raised her hands up and wanted to start beating adunni, I instantly stretch my hands towards her, and my magical powers sent her flying in the air, and hit her hard on the ground. Adunni rushed towards her in panic thinking her step mother had died, because she was unconscious. I stretched forth my hands towards her again, and twist my hand like i was controlling something. Suddenly adunni's step mother regained consciousness, and she immediately sat up from the floor and was coughing loudly. Adunni quickly rushed in, and came out a minute later with a cup of water in her hands, then she carefully gave her step mother to drink from it. Her step mother drank the water, and gave adunni the empty cup, panting hard, like someone who just ran a long distance. With the help of adunni, her step mother got up from the floor, and slowly went inside the house without confronting adunni anymore. I smiled mischieviously seeing what I had just done, I won't allow anyone hurt my beautiful maiden, never.....I said within myself. After i was sure adunni's step mother won't trouble adunni again, I went back to the river where I belong. When I got to the river bank, i teleported myself back into the waters. Immediately i got into the water, I saw my duplicate already waiting for me. I decided to have a little chit chat with him before sending him away. How was your stay with my mother, hope she wasn't suspicious about you?.......I asked my duplicate worriedly, but it suddenly started laughing. “You are talking as if you don't know who your mother the queen is, of course she suspected me, and was even monitoring my every moves, but I managed to distract her from me”.........he responded. “That is so thoughtful of you, am really greatful”......I said, tiredly. “I'm sure you had a nice time with the love of your life, she is very pretty, no wonder you have been going crazy over her”.......it teased me. “So you have been monitoring me while I was away?”.......I asked in surprise. “Seems like you've forgotten quickly that a part of me was with you when you left to see her”.........it retorted, and we both laughed. “It was a very long day for me, i think I need to go and rest now”........I said, referring to my duplicate. He simply nodded his head, then I brought out my precious stone from my dreadlocks, and then placed it on his forehead, and he disappeared within the twinkle of an eye. After my duplicate disappeared, I swam towards the palace and saw my mother sitting on her throne, and omi-eda sat beside her. She stared at me for a while like she was searching for something in me, but I comported myself like i didn't care about anything, so she won't look suspicious to me. “You were sitting close to me some minutes ago, were did you went to?”...... mother asked gently. “I went mating with a maiden of our kind”........I replied bluntly. Immediately i said that, mother and my sister giggled and were whispering to themselves, I heard what they were whispering, but I pretended not to care. “I hope it lead to something good”....... mother said again. I didn't respond, i kept thinking about adunni, I was missing her already, and cant wait for the next day to come, so I would see her again. To be continued...

We all need human medicine in our lives. People who we will talk to and they will say things that will make us feel a lot better. If you have them in your corner, tag them and appreciate them. Good morning, WAM.

My mom shared a story of how she entered a bus one day on her way to a particular city here in Nigeria to purchase materials for her business. Immediately the vehicle took off,she started to feel uncomfortable. Her spirit became restless and she started feeling that something bad was going to happen. So she began to pray in her spirit. You know when the holy spirit begins to bear witness within you that there is an operation of the kingdom of darkness within an environment. As she continued to pray silently,she began to see the spirit of death hovering around their vehicle. So she began to pray more seriously. One of the advantages we have as children of God is spiritual sensitivity. We can decode when an atmosphere is not just right. We can feel it. She began to talk to God. She told God that because she was in that vehicle,she is cancelling that projection of death no matter who they sent it to. She and other innocent souls will not dìe because of one person carrying a projection of car accident. Hmmmmm Not long after that,the driver of the vehicle pulled over to the side of the road and stopped. He told them to excuse him while he eased himself. Of course the passengers allowed. 10 minutes went by, driver did not return. Passengers started to murmur. Didn't he know that they had appointments and deadlines to meet? Did this man not know that they were working with time? 20 minutes. No sign of driver. Haaaaaaa! Everybody started to come down from the vehicle to look for him. Just at the side of the vehicle close to the boot was the driver. Standing still. Not moving. Passengers started calling him to come and move the vehicle because they were running out of time. Driver wasn't moving. Just standing where he was. Still like a statue. Hmmmm One of the passengers then walked up to him in anger thinking that he was deliberately ignoring them and touched him. The driver just dropped down on the ground. Dead. People started to scream and shout and all of that. Mom said she couldn't even move. She was just there wondering. What would have happened if this driver had died on the steering wheel???? Imagine how many people that he would have taken with him? Kai!🔥🔥 😭 ************ We really need to take our spiritual life serious, your level of spirituality determines your closeness with God. I want you to know that God has already made provision for you and I in every situation we may find ourselves. But the issue is are not keyed into the realm He wants us to be, before we can be able to access all His promises and provisions for us. God loves you and I want you to know that God is doing everything, just to be close to you. God wants us to have a relationship with Him. And this relationship is an intimate one. God wants you and I to have an intimate relationship with Him. But we can only achieve all these by, building our spiritual lives through nurturing of the inner man. We need the leading of the holy Spirit through the inward witness (inner man) God 🙌 bless you all 😇🙏 as you read and work on this Words of mine 🥰. Amen
