Saying most people don't like broilers is not accurate. Broiler's breast is lean meat. You can easily remove the fat in it. Thigh and drumstick don't have fat. You can easily remove the fat. Or you boil it and put the water in a freezer....scrape the fat off it and that's it.

It is OK if you cannot feed 200 layers, if it is 25 you can feed, it is OK. 25 will give you like 15 to 20 crates in a month. And you can easily retail it at N200 each. That's like N110,000 sales. Why should you do what you want afford. Even it is 10. It is OK. Retail it. Steady money will come in.

But still I am trying to understand the profit in this you are doing. How much do you sell each? I am trying to see if waiting for more than 8 months is really worth it.

Time is money. If you can roll money fast, why not?

If it makes sense to do 25 layers only and retail it, perhaps you van raise money from your next sales. 9 months waiting period to not sell something substantial ....does it really worth it?

Please, how much do you sell each?

My plan is to have 20 hens and 2 roosters making it a total of 22 local chickens, this hen can lay averagely say 8 eggs per hen. So let do the maths
Let say 8(egg) * 20(hens) = 160

160 x 4 (Number of time they will lay and hatch in a year) =640 hens first year.
Sell about 540 at say 5,000 and keep 100 to add to your farm. Repeat the process Am sure with that much hen you can start competing with someone doing boilers.

Note: you can sell after 6 months and some of the children will start laying from 4 or 6 months, also if you separate the chick from the hen after 2 weeks of brooding it will increase the number time in a year it will lay and hatch.

Lol!

Hens don't lay eggs because of mating, but they lay fertilized eggs after mating. The criteria for hens laying eggs are: age, light, nutrition, and health. Roosters are only meant for making eggs fertilized. Lol!

If you understand the above, you can start seeing why free range in Nigeria might mean the hens are less productive than what they should.

OK...let me find a simpler way to ask you the question...from your experience...

1. If a hen hatches some eggs today, how long before he lays another set of eggs?

Local hen can lay 6-7 eggs a week and can lay 5 to 20+ eggs before stopping to start sitting on it.
I don't think they can lay continuously without stopping because after laying for sometime they naturally start sitting on it, even if you were to be removing the eggs it will eventually stop laying.
If you feed them well they can start laying again after 2 to 3 weeks depending on the hen.
