Entrepreneurial Kenyans have long ventured into rearing the exotic breeds of chicken in their urban estate homes in Nairobi and met with a great degree of success. The labour intensive exercise can be easy if you have a house-help looking after your side venture as you grapple with professional work. But what of Kienyeji chicken farming which is growing in popularity and fetching a tidy sum for many farmers?
Rural farmers may not have the best infrastructure and funding to launch highly profitable Kienyeji chicken farming enterprises but they have vast open spaces, a luxury that most urban farmers, particularly in Nairobi, do not have. Here are some tips on how you can succeed in kienyeji chicken rearing in a place like Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru or Eldoret:-
The value of spaces
It all depends on spaces. If you have a backyard as a small as 30ft by 10 feet, you can comfortably rear up to 300 Kienyeji hens through innovative construction of the chicken house. If you are not utilizing your backyard as an “extension”, as common in many middle class Nairobi neighborhoods, you can use this for Kienyeji chicken rearing and earn superb profits every year. The restricted spaces, however, mean you will have to put up plenty of perches in order to minimize antisocial behavior in your brood. This is covered in our kienyeji chicken farming manual.
Earn money through incubation
The best way to earn money from kienyeji chicken in an urban setting in Kenya is by investing in an incubator and then selling the kienyeji chicks to farmers in the city and the surrounding areas. There is an unfulfilled demand for Kienyeji chicks in the country right now so marketing your chicks will not be a problem at all. You can begin sourcing for market a few days before you hatch the chicks.
Easy Brooding
The urban infrastructure in Kenya makes the brooding process relatively easy. You can achieve the ideal structure for your kienyeji chicks by following the chicken house construction model that is recommended in our Improved Kienyeji Chicken Farming Manual. Regular electricity supply also means that you can keep your hens in properly regulated conditions until they have developed some wings.
Feeding
It is easy to access affordable and good quality feed in an urban setting like Nairobi which lowers the cost of production for your kienyeji chicken in your backyard.
Disease-resistant
The disease resistance of the Kienyeji chicken breeds means you can carry out urban farming in fairly restricted spaces without worrying about high mortality rates for your stock.
Marketing
Marketing of the Kienyeji chicken is a relatively easy process in the urban environment. There is a market right outside your doorstep and you can easily finish your stock at any time of the year and bring in new stock.
