Druids Farm

The Druids Farm is a Homestead Farm project powered by steem, the farm consist of a poultry and eventually a fish farm.

The poultry uses a deep litter housing system based on repetitive layers of wood shavings to serve as bedding for the birds.

The beddings are usually made 2 meters thick to provide warmth for the birds.
I adopted the DL system because it allows rearing a large number of birds and increases the birds resistance to diseases especially to coccidiosis.

The poultry consist of 80 Point Of Layer Chicks Which were 4-6 weeks old during purchase, the birds produce at least 2 crates of eggs daily.

The project started February with zero mortality so far though there was a setback in mid march, a severe rainstorm which damaged the roofing and building of the poultry.

The birds were moved into another cubicle before construction of the main poultry begins.

Gathering Wood Shavings

The Poultry is cleaned monthly on saturdays and the litter removed.
The litter is dried and allowed to compost to serve as manure, chicken manure is high in nitrogen content and when combined with other fertilizers produces high quality garden food.

Effort is being made to reconstruct and expand the farm.


Funding The Fish Farm


Recently applied for funding to start the Fish farm through a Student innovation challenge, i pray my submission is considered and the funding approved.

@sirknight has been a tremendous support over the past months considering the fact that 98% of my posts have been on the steemchurch and celestial challenge tags.

All post pay-outs are directed towards enlarging the farm and hopefully employing more workers with time.

Thanks @steemchurch and our Parish Leader @sirknight for the continuous support.
Special Thanks To My Favorite Mice SnS

Nigerian Youths need not be lazy

All they need is start up something that can serve as solution to people's need

All we have do is think , then work and produce results

This is what you have started

Good luck

my goodness, this is a single initiative that makes one an entrepreneur, being empowered and being able to depend on oneself, I can see your farm is rapidly growing, it will be very wonderful to see you commercialize this into a bigger level I'm positive @sirknight is taking into coigniscance.

A good initiative @druids.
This again shows the big way @steemchurch is affecting the lives of people positively.
I pray your initiative grows from strength to strength.

Great poultry farm, wish mine was this big, can't wait to extend mine.

Thanks for sharing, may God extend your work in Jesus name Amen.

Hopefully the submission will be approved and we'll celebrate @druids ... Your eggs look fresh and large.. Won't mind having some of it lol

Hello @druids
Waoooww:) this is a very nice project, poultry and likes of others is a good way to start with, nice piece u shared:) thanks for the initiative, you are on point...i know your admission will be accepted and approved because your works are epic...

Steem on.

Nice idea druids i hope your submission is approved

This is awesome. More like a challenge to other Nigerian youths. Creativity and action towards dreams is what brings productivity. No matter how huge a plan is, unless it's implemented, it's as good as nothing. Thank you @druid. Thank you @sirknight for your kind hearted gesture.

Omg...this is pretty innovative. I've always known steemchurch cares for the parishioners.
