we all know that water must be given to poultry birds every
day. Mind you, not ordinary water but fresh water from reliable source. Clean
water containers with a small hand brush before refilling them with fresh water
is very good.
Quality feeding enhances fowl productive
Feeding is another routine that are very important and must be carry out every day, do not over feed and as well under feed them.
If you do, you will run into shortage and this is not good for business farming system. Pelleted feeds can stay fresh for a week inside a hopper so that they are dispensed and lib as the hens require food, however it will soon go moldy and cause disease if it is not kept dry.
Place food containers under cover or purchase a rain hat to keep the rain off.

Collection
of eggs is another activity we do carry out every day in the poultry, in some
farm, eggs are main purpose of setting up such farm.
So it is very important to collect eggs every time since production of fowl is our target, some time up to three times a day. Collect eggs and keep an eye out for broody hens over the spring and summer months.

Observation affect fowl productive in the farm
This is the most important routine under this category, which I observed diligently. Spent quality time with the birds ever day so as to identify any condition from and among them.
In my own situation I spent between 30 minutes and one hour every day to observe them very well.
Mainly when you feed them, they must all rush toward food and do eat, so any one that do not run towards feed is sick, so isolate and give genuine treatment.

Cleaning droppings improves fowl production
This is another thing to do every week, to some farmers this is a dirty work. Generally, this is done manually and must be remove every week irrespective of caging system you are using.
Accumulated dropping produces ammonia gas which may result to the springing up of any related diseases in the farm, therefore to avoid this they should be removing weekly.

Chicken houses affect production of fowl
The house should be cleaned out at least weekly to prevent a buildup of organic matter, which puts your birds at more risk from respiratory problems and disease.
They are very common and the sooner you find them, the easier it is to get rid of them.

Be it cockerels, broilers and layers, I don’t joke with it and I will never joke with it. From first to third day of every month I do administer antibiotic, at time up to day five of the month depending on the direction of the drugs. Then between 12th and 14th day of every month I do administer multivitamins to complement their feed.
In the case of the layers in the
farm, certain vaccine is administer once every month, this vaccine is called
LASOTA, this is mainly to improve their immune system and to keep them in good
condition and healthy.
Aside these, to every birds in my
farm, I de-worm them once in every month. I lay my hands on any de-wormer from
the veterinarians shop.
These are the collection of routines
I do carry out in my poultry farm, either daily, weekly and even monthly basis,
