Management must manage!

The conventional definition of management is getting work done through people, but real management is developing people through work.

Important information on hybrid chickens

Hybrid hens have been developed through selectively cross-breeding the most productive strains of pure-breed layers. While some characteristics of the original parent stock may remain, hybrid hens are specially bred to be docile(less aggressive),they don't go broody easily and lay a high number of eggs in their first year.

The best of them can produce an egg almost every day – at their peak, 5 hens could give you 25 eggs a week.

They are several varieties such as Isa Brown, Lohmann Brown, Hyline Brown, Brown Nick, Bovan Brown among others.

I will give you both their advantages and disadvantages:

Advantages of hybrids
1. They lay a high numbers of eggs in their first year of laying.
2. Their egg yields are more predictable than those of pure-breeds.
3. They mature early from 18 weeks of age as compared to pure breeds which start laying from 24 to 28 weeks of age.
4. They are usually easy to manage if you follow the rules of poultry management.
5. They are less likely to go broody hence plenty of eggs laid and only a few will go broody under poor management.
6. If routinely vaccinated against a number of diseases the disease incidences will always be lower.
7. They are generally cheaper to buy than pure-breeds. Compare buying a hybrid layer chick at 100 birr compared to other purebreed chicks e.g silky,brahmas at 220birr each.

Disadvantages of hybrid layers.

1. Their laying can sometimes be unpredictable after the first year of laying. As they approach 72 to 80 weeks their laying reduces and hence sold as ex layers. Pure breeds can lay for as long as 4 years.
2. Tend not to live as long as pure-breeds. Pure breeds can go for upto 6 years unless it dies from diseases or natural causes.
3. Hybrids don’t ‘breed true’ – the only way to obtain more of the same type is to buy new chicks from breeders and suppliers of chicks. If you breed hybrid chicken then you get poor /inferior offsprings.
4. Careful feeding is important for hybrids to meet the demands of intensive egg-production. You can't feed hybrid layers on left over feeds or table scraps and expect good egg production. A carefully formulated feed with all nutrients is required for excellent egg production.
5. Hybrid layers usually have tough and small amount of meat compared to pure breed hence not an excellent meat bird.
6. Hybrids are less likely to be reliable if you want birds for brooding of eggs or if you want to hatch some eggs.
7.Many traditional pure-breeds are declining due to the popularity of hybrids. People are more into business with hybrids hence pure-breed population is declining.

How to Construct a Poultry House

Commercial chicken farming demands expertise, understanding, and unwavering commitment for success. Getting your poultry housing right is crucial for laying a solid foundation for your venture. Here's a handy checklist to guide you through poultry house construction:

Provide Comfort: Ensure your poultry house offers a comfortable environment shielding birds from weather extremities like rain, wind, and direct sunlight.

Spaciousness: Allocate adequate space based on stocking density:

Layers: 1m² for 6 birds
Broilers: 1m² for 11 birds

Ventilation: Opt for an open-sided house with east-west orientation to allow natural airflow. Avoid direct sunlight exposure.

Structure: Construct a rectangular-shaped house with a wall not exceeding three feet in height on the longer side. Opt for materials like stones, iron sheets, or bricks for durability.

Mesh Matters: Use a small gauge chicken wire mesh to prevent entry of wild birds, dogs, and rodents. Consider a plastic-coated mesh for longevity.

Roofing: Choose a reflective surface for the roof and ensure proper pitch for ventilation. Maintain adequate gap between birds and roof to prevent heat stress.

Flooring: floors should be ideal for easy cleaning and disinfection.

Hygiene Measures: Install a foot-bath at the entrance and clear vegetation around the pen to deter rodents. Keep the feed store separate to minimize rodent attraction.

Isolation: Construct the house in isolated areas to minimize contamination risks.

Ventilation Management: Optimal ventilation is crucial for heat and moisture regulation, oxygen supply, and air quality improvement. Open curtains for airflow during warm weather and close them for warmth during cold spells.

Safety: Fence the area and keep doors locked to prevent entry of stray animals and visitors.
