Capital requirements depends on the system of production and the product line one wants to venture in. Otherwise for semi- intensive local poultry the minimum you will require is Ksh. 20,000 for 50 birds. Excluding the feed.

That is inclusive of simple functional structure (off-cut walls, iron sheets roof will cost you 10k), 50 chicks @100 is 5k. , the remaining 5k for feeders and drinkers). Hope now you get it.

Hello Hillary depending on your location the materials should be available as below -timber offcuts get from Timber yard, iron sheets from the hardware shop, chicks you can make your order right here on the market place section, feeders and drinkers are available at the jua- kali merchant shops. Technical assistance you will get here. Thanks
