The main purpose of sharing more knowledge about agricultural mindset is to always prepare ourselves ahead of the big task which we will all try the attempt to make it work out positively. A farmer who plans to have a Poultry farm needs to be aware of the challenges ahead of him or her before jumping into poultry keeping. This is why as individual farmers we are all faced with one challenge or the other. Even before you go into any type of animal keeping you will have some kind of challenge financially I said this because even when you already book for your chicks 🐥🐣🐥 maybe at day Old when you want to go back to buy your poultry feed you meet it already increased twice or half the formal prices. This has been the challenge people face here and there. This does not limit on agricultural tools, equipment,feeds, and others alone but on every set of item you buy in the market. There's always double the price that every 2 days interval or maximum a week.

• There was a question that was asked on discord and here is my own answer to the question because we actually discussed a lot before I thought of bringing it openly for people to also learn one thing or the other from it. The man came to me in my inbox and asked how can he survive more by keeping the broiler birds as a farmer? In my own case I have several ways of answering questions which will carry along with explanation and pictures. So here are some pictures to also buttress my points.

First and foremost I would like to say the word farmer is a very big word for me as a individual person. I said this because when you decide on your own that you want to become a farmer then you are positive about your decision and other things we follow gradually. Even when you are financially okay you still need some kind of farmers ideas and knowledge to carry out your task. So the decision to be a farmer is always a top-notch. After then going into animal production is also a very big task. There are so many things to put in place when it comes to this particular aspect of Agriculture. You need to be financial stable like I said earlier because even when you buy a particular poultry equipment this minute the next minute it may double the price so this is why you need to be gallant to face any type of agricultural shake.

These are some of the tools I also mentioned for the man in my discord conversations. **For every body who wants to be a poultry farmer you always need a cage to house your animal. You also need either a battery cage or a wooden cage. On my discord I also mentioned that you need a place to ask them aside your cage, this will be a very big advantage for you because some poultry Birds do not accommodate or entertain either too much heat or too much cold so you need to observe and create a atmosphere that is very conducive for them to make a life. These are the sum of the tools and equipment likewise the Poultry feed you can likely see in your environment here in Nigeria. They are absolutely good and the nutrients are 95% satisfactory. I took some pictures also when I went out to source for my own poultry bird feeds.

• These are the Poultry drinkers of different types although the very from different state but whichever you want to choose is readily available because when you move from one agricultural shop to another you will absolutely even more with different shapes and sizes. But these are the ones I saw recently.

• This is our own type of feeding trough that we all see around and it is most definitely what you can see in Nigeria. I've seen some other feeding trough but the wooden type. The ranges like I said depending on the type of order and the type of environment. Some Poultry shops intentionally ordered for this aluminum type of feeding trough while others May intentionally but that for the wooden trough while others as well can be a mixture of both.

If you look closely you also say that there is one flat surface type of the feeding trough which is mainly for the day or to chicks. If you are going for the day or chicks 🐥🐣🐥 it is also necessary to have this as one of your tools.

This is the owner of the agricultural shop who also sells poultry feed in bit I mean small quantity. There so many people who came into the shop while I was there they all bought in small quantity as you can see in scaling it.

There are several cases whereby the Farmer purchases which some amount of poultry feeds but on getting to his farm his poultry Birds did not eat at all. This is where they testing of the feed comes into the farming system. When you buy in bulk there is tendency for your animals to reject it so you need to observe very well before buying your poultry feed.

When it comes to the aspect of choosing rightly the Poultry feed it is of custom here in Nigeria to go for grinding feeds but in my own choice I will say that you need to give a test to your Poultry Birds which of them is very good and easy to digest for them then you can buy in bulk or in small quantity.

I always advice people to first of all, getting into poultry Birds in a small quantity before going to a very large scale. This is because I also heard about a particular poultry farmer in Osun state who did not even made about getting a try about error method before going into the last scale of poultry bird he ended up crashing the whole farm Within few months of starting up.
