This years round of day old layers are doing a lot better than last years brood. Last year, due to bad feed we lost about 60 chicks, this year however we have only lost 3 chickens right at the very start … this is awesome … all the chicks are growing very well and they are all looking extremely healthy.

This project was started because of generous people “chipping in” last year; because we were able to purchase the chicks last year and because of the eggs sales we were able to purchase our next round of day olds as well as all of their feed and medicine until they start laying.

If we have 80% of our chickens laying each day, this means that we will be able to provide eggs to all of YFC’s ministries each week as well as pay for 1 worker to look after the chickens and save up for next years brood. It is exciting when projects can be started and become financially self sustained whilst providing valuable produce to YFC.
