Kienyeji Chicken Initiative aims to provide poultry farmers with information and support on KARI Improved Kienyeji chicken rearing in various parts of Kenya. Our focus will be on the improved kienyeji varieties and our breadth of support covers the entire value chain of kienyeji chicken rearing including advice on the business plan development, building of the poultry house, procurement of the day old chicks and others at various stages based on the farmer preference, advice on production techniques and assistance with the market for the chicken.
We have developed a detailed manual on KARI Improved Kienyeji Chicken farming that prospective farmers will find useful and which they can use to get started on the venture. This manual will be available for sale from 10th August, 2014 at a cost of Ksh.1000 and will be delivered by post to farmers who make payment via MPESA.
Other support resources that we are developing for Kienyeji chicken farmers include a web information portal that farmers can use to access all the information that they will need for their ventures. This will be available on www.Kienyeji.org.
Our commercial portal at www.kienyejichicken.com will be used for commercialization purposes to help farmers in marketing their produce. We will add additional tips and tidbits on kienyeji chicken farming to assist farmers in getting started on this venture. For more information or to make inquiries, contact us on improvedkienyeji[at]gmail[dot]com.
