Day-Old Black Cockerels Chicks
Our day-old chicks are produced under high bio-security, hygienic environment and sourced from the high-quality parent stock. We also ensure they are adequately vaccinated for their age.

    Cockerels are raised for meat. They take six months to one year to fully mature, depending on the quality of management provided.
Black cockerels

Black Cockerels (roosters, cocks) are adult male gallinaceous birds of the genus (Gallus gallus domesticus)

Features

    Mature male chickens less than one year old are called cockerels.
    Cockerels are cheaper to buy and raise compared to broilers, and they thrive under most management conditions.
    They are resistant to adverse environmental conditions. So, we often recommend them for new poultry farms who use the semi-intensive/free-range system

Additional tips for raising poultry chicks

    Preheat the sheds three days before placement, so that when the chicks arrive the concrete and bedding will be warm enough (as the chick’s body will be in contact with the floor, thus failure to have adequate floor temperatures will mean the chicks are likely to huddle especially if the heat source is not enough).
    Bedding: Wood shavings are ideal. Therefore ensure there are no pieces of foreign materials (glass or metal) and ensure bedding material is dry.
    Always monitor your birds closely to ensure a good spread of chicks and flock activity.
    Strictly adhere to the vaccination and medication schedule sent to your email after purchase.
    Involve the services of qualified veterinary personnel as well, for the routine farm visits, vaccinations, prophylactic treatment etc.
