Chickens Can we Farm as a group?

[tekas2]

We are small farmers most of us I presume.

Looking at how well one can make good profits alone seems hectic. If we unite and source for chicks, feeds, maintenance and feeds together we can have higher returns. Marketing in bulk is easier and convenient.

Can we share about it and see how well we can do it.

Great idea @tekas2.

Our community will grow to around 10,000 farmers by October and we will know who farms what and what county they are in. At that point, we can look to create county groups to start collaborating and discussing ways to work together.

In the meantime, we can use this discussion to brainstorm how it could work with other farmers? Do you have any ideas?

I think this is a great idea! Lot's of work to do, but if we can make it work lot's of farmers will have a better life.

Its important to know where the farmers are and create the groups according to localities as cooperatives do. From there its easy

Whatsapp has many limitations and is very hard to communicate effectively once there are more than 50 people. We will try to develop something on this platform that makes the communication process easier.
