A VISIT TO MY FRIEND POULTRY PEN // LIFE OF A LIVESTOCK FARMER.

Lover of birds they call me,it's really amazing when you have others who are into this business too. So to say introduced this business to my friend and he was able to build a big pen in his family's house compound with the consent of his Father. Ever since then we have been following up each other's business here and there. There are times that if he's around I will be the one to help him out during the course of his absent. It's really a thing joy for both of us.

In early hour yesterday he came to my side explaining things to me ,how he he has divided his place putting birds in the smaller part do the pen. So when I go there I had to visit the big birds firs. They are very neat and so big which showed they are well fed. Told me those are the birds for festive period.

Moreso,I also assisted him to move his smaller birds from the brooding house to bigger part of the pen that he divided,so the smaller birds on one side of the pen and the bigger birds in the other smaller part of the poultry pen.


He @kayodeelijahade was the one packing the smaller birds from the brooding house while I assisted him to pack the birds to the divided bigger poultry pen. While doing this,he was also counting to be sure of the numbers of the number of the birds which they are 197 birds.

The birds were feeling less adaptation because it's range and it's a new place to them. With that they are sitting and staying at a corner. Later on they were getting use to the new environment.


Thanks for stopping by to view my blog. Do have a wonderful day ahead.@peterale cares.

Aww the little baby chickens are cute, so many at one time. Is the large bowl with sand for them to take dust baths in?

No,the bowl is just for moving them from the brooding space to the large space.The dust are on the floor surface which is called litter materials which serves as an intermediary between the chicks legs and the surface of the floor.

The dust
(Litter materials) is necessary because when it's messed up it will be easy for me to pack and dispose it and replace the floor surface again with a new fresh dust. When the dust is new that is when the birds usually bath in the dust. I don't have the pictures but I will show you later. Thanks @sketch.and.jam
