  • Learn how to make your chicken big
    CHRISTMAS IS ALMOST HERE!

    HOW TO MAKE YOUR CHICKENS GROW BIG ENOUGH FOR CHRISTMAS SALES

    Every poultry farmer knows that Buyers want BIG chickens for Christmas.

    If you are rearing chickens for this xmas, you should be working towards getting them ready by 20th December when sales begin to peak.

    But then, how big should your chicken be to attract customers?

    What size does the Christmas Chicken buyer actually want?

    Let me attempt answers to these.

    The Christmas buyer wants big chicken.

    But then, the Nigerian poultry market does not have a uniform standard for dividing chicken into big and small sizes. There are customers who consider 3.5kg chicken as big while there are others who consider any chicken less than 5kg as small.

    The size of chicken considered as “BIG” therefore depends on your type of customers.

    Now, most buyers of live chicken are sensory based buyers. They gauge size by what their eyes see and what their hands feel. They do not usually rely on any weighing scale for measurement.

    It is therefore important that your birds are both big to the eyes and heavy to the hands. Big birds that do not have weight will not sell.

    From my personal experience, I categorize Xmas buyers into regular and premium customers.

    The regular customer buys chicken weighing between 3kg to 4.5kg. With the right care, these Broilers should be between 6 weeks to 10 weeks of age.

    The premium customer however buys Broilers weighing above 5kg and aged 12 weeks above.

    Now, if you have chickens on ground, you should by their age, already know the type of customers you are targeting. Is it regular or premium?

    No matter your target customers, it is important your birds add weight quickly so that you can meet up with the Xmas deadline.

    I will briefly itemize a few things you should do to achieve the desired weight gain quickly.

    1. Buy and use only high quality feeds.
    This is not the time to economize on feed cost. We are battling against time and against growth. Low quality feed take a longer time to give result. Since we don’t have all the time, I advice you use the highest quality feed you can find.

    2. Feed your birds ad libitum.
    By this I mean you should stop measuring feed for your Broilers. Give them as much as they can eat. The more they eat, the more weight they gain.

    3. Don’t waste your nights.
    Give your birds light in the night so that they can eat for a few more hours everyday. At the minimum, your birds should have constant light at night for the first 4 weeks of their life.

    4. Give vitamins in their water.
    Vitamins are necessary to complement the feed and increase appetite. Make sure they have it in their water as required.

    5. Keep their pen clean.
    Dirty environment reduces appetite and supports the spread of diseases. You do not want your birds falling sick at this critical time.

    6. Give all necessary vaccines and medication.

    7. As the birds begin to grow, sort them into different groups according to size. The big birds should be separated from the smaller ones so that each has access to food and water without bullying.

    I do hope these tips help you meet up with sales this Xmas

  • ADVICE FOR THE SINGLE GUYS

    1. BE GOAL ORIENTED:
    Stop chasing women, and FOCUS ON CHASING YOUR GOALS. Improve your economy, your value as a man increases when you are able to sustain yourself, and it will continue to increase when you have the ability to provide for others.

    2. STUDY REGULARLY:
    You can read the books you want, go to the conferences you want, but nothing happens if you don't have SELF-ESTEEM. When your self-esteem improves everything improves: your economy, your physique, your relationships, etc. If you don't have self-esteem, you're already at a disadvantage.

    3. SPEND AND SAVE WISELY:
    If you have no inheritance, if you have no financial support, if you don't have contacts, if you have great studies, or skills, do what a real man does: work, save, make capital. Don't borrow to buy luxuries, nor to play entrepreneurship. It's true that everything in life is risk, but it's not about taking risks for taking them. Simply if you are starting out DON'T OWE YOURSELF. Work, save, capitalize, that's how it starts.

    4. PLAN,ACT WISELY:
    person who wants to get ahead CANNOT AFFORD TO WASTE HIS TIME. Devote all your energy and hours possible to develop skills. What skills? Skills that help you make money: learn to sell, learn to write persuasively, learn to speak, learn to lead, learn another language, learn digital marketing, viralization, etc.

    5. ACT RESPONSIBLY:
    If you had children at a young age, behave like a man and take your RESPONSIBILITY. You're not the first and you won't be the last. You can be separated from the mom or move on with her, but no matter what, don't abandon your children, take on the role of a father to those creatures: be a provider, a protector, and a guide. Don't use your children as an excuse, use them as a motivation to overcome yourself

    6. THINK ABOUT YOUR FUTURE:
    Your future is not in another country, YOUR FUTURE IS IN YOUR HANDS. Acquire financial education and entrepreneurial mindset, that will open your eyes and you will start seeing opportunities where you used to only see problems. Europe is not what you think, America is not what you believe, Asia is not what you see, but instead you if you are MORE than you believe, act accordingly!

    7. INVESR IN YOURSELF: If you're already in another city or country, make your decision worth all the effort. Don't work to be sending money to irresponsible, conformist and liars family members. Help your parents and/or your children if they really need it, but fundamentally INVEST IN YOURSELF, educate yourself financially, make capital, your goal should be to become an entrepreneur or investor.

    8. LEARNING DOES NOT END IN SCHOOL:
    Some people think that their education ended when they finished high school, others when they left university, on the other hand, successful people think that EDUCATION NEVER ENDS, so invest in training, books, mentoring, counselling, never stop learning!

    9. STUDY FEMALE PSYCHOLOGY:
    choosing the wrong person as a partner can ruin you. Nowadays feminism is hurting women a lot and the family is under attack. Dysfunctional homes are on the rise. There are many women, and men, emotionally damaged, so you must learn to spot the signs of a person with internal problems, or distorted behaviours. First of all, remember: to find a healthy woman, first you must have been healed, because if you're wrong, it's highly likely that you choose wrong, it all starts with you!

    10. DO NOT BE DESPERATE:
    Patience is underestimated, but really true wealth and true success require patience, a lot of patience. Rome wasn't built in a day. So don't run to run, don't wear out. You're living your best years, but the years ahead are even better.

    11. KNOW GOD:
    Developing a relationship with God lays a foundation for true purpose, inner peace, and guidance through life’s ups and downs. Knowing God means pursuing a connection beyond religious routine — it’s about nurturing a relationship that shapes your values, decisions, and outlook. Seek wisdom and clarity through prayer, scripture, and meditation, allowing God to shape your character and actions. When you know God, your self-worth and identity become rooted in something deeper than material success or worldly validation. This helps you stay grounded in times of challenge and builds resilience in the face of uncertainty. As you grow in faith, you gain insight, compassion, and strength to pursue your goals with integrity, ultimately leading you to become a more loving, wise, and fulfilled person..

    12. BUILD GOOD AND GODLY FRIENDS:
    Surround yourself with friends who inspire you to be better in faith and life. Good and godly friends will support your goals, character, and spiritual growth

  • Who benefits most from a healthy diet?
    First off, diet programs tended to work better for women. Why? Besides differences in hormones and metabolism, Firth conjectured, women seem to be in a better position to benefit. They’re more likely to be depressed, and, he says, they might have more discipline at following diets than men.

    Also, the diet programs worked better if a dietary professional administered them—probably because the recommendations were sounder and the participants (believing in the dietitian’s authority) were more apt to follow them, Firth says. An earlier review of diet studies came to a similar conclusion.

    One of the strongest studies in the collection suggested that diet could help people who were right in the midst of a major depressive episode. Researchers recruited 67 depressed people with poor diets, half of whom were instructed to follow a healthy, Mediterranean-style diet favoring whole grains, fruit and vegetables, legumes, low-fat dairy, nuts, fish, lean red meat, chicken, eggs, and olive oil while reducing sweets, refined grains, fried and fast food, processed meats, and sugary drinks. Across 12 weeks, they attended seven sessions with a dietitian who helped them set diet goals and stay motivated; they also received recipes, meal plans, and a hamper of food.

    The other half attended sessions on a similar schedule. But rather than getting diet advice, they simply spent time with a research assistant who was trained to be supportive of them—talking about topics they were interested in, like sports and hobbies, or playing games with them for an hour.

    Despite how beneficial social interaction is, the diet group fared better than the social support group. After 12 weeks, they had reduced their depression and anxiety more—and they were about four times more likely to experience a remission from their depression. The more they improved their diet, the more their depression lifted.


    What about anxiety? In that particular study, anxiety did go down—but on average, across all 16 studies, healthier diets didn’t seem to make people less anxious. That actually strengthens the case that diet can directly affect depression, says Firth. If the results were simply due to people feeling proud and accomplished with their new healthy habits, you would expect them to feel better all around, including less anxious. The fact that only their symptoms of depression shifted means that something deeper may be going on. 


    What could that be? We don’t know for sure yet, but there are a variety of biological processes that seem to be both influenced by diet and involved in mental health. It’s possible that certain diets may increase inflammation and oxidative stress, and disrupt our mitochondrial function and neuron production, in ways that could put us at risk for psychological problems. Our gut microbiome—the colony of microorganisms in our intestines that is increasingly being studied as a contributor to mental health—may interact with many of these processes. Also, says Firth, following a diet can bring us a sense of self-esteem and self-efficacy, as well as potential weight loss—which can influence our minds, too.

    But there are still a lot of unknowns. As Professor Almudena Sanchez-Villegas of the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria points out, the findings from diet experiments are not consistent. Many of the diet programs in Firth’s review didn’t help alleviate depression, nor did a newer one that also included multivitamins. Researchers have much more to explore.
