About my venture
Started 2020
I am running a small back yard project of rearing free range chickens. I purchased 26 boschveld type of the free rangers on the 31st of August 2020. My research showed that this breed is good for meat and eggs hence i am targeting the festive season for my first sales. They start laying eggs when they are about 19 weeks old. I am planning to add another batch when the current one is about 10 weeks. Market for the chickens is there and i believe with the right mentoship i will be able to grow this project. I do go to work full time and i run this time. My wife is helping in taking care of the chicks when i am at work.
