Poultry & Catfish on a Small Compound — The 50-Bird / 200-Fish Profit Plan

Broilers don't die of bad luck. They die of wet litter, dirty water, skipped vaccines and cheap feed. All four are decisions — and this book makes them for you.

Every December, the same story plays out:

Person A bought 50 broilers in October "to try." No calendar, no vaccine schedule, guessed the feeding. Lost 18 birds, panicked, sold the rest cheap. Concluded: "poultry doesn't pay."

Person B started the same week, same money. Followed a schedule. Vaccinated on day 7, 10, 17 and 24 (total cost: about ₦4,000). Pre-sold from week 5 in her estate WhatsApp group. Sold 47 dressed birds at Christmas prices and banked six figures — from a pen the size of a parked bus.

Same birds. Same feed market. Same Nigeria. The difference was a plan.

This book IS that plan — for exactly the scale that works: 50 broilers and a 200-fish tarpaulin pond, in a normal residential compound. Not the 5,000-bird fantasy that needs loans and eats farms alive when feed prices jump. The small, repeatable scale where one estate group buys your entire harvest in a weekend.

INSIDE THE 17 PAGES (every naira itemised):

🏗️ The complete setup shopping list, priced item by item (Q2 2026) — pen from ₦61,000 if you're converting existing space, full tarpaulin pond setup from ₦155,000. No vague "capital intensive" nonsense — actual figures for feeders, drinkers, brooding lamps, juveniles, everything

📅 The week-by-week calendar — the heart of the book. Day 1: What to do. Day 7: Which vaccine? Week 4: How to switch feed without stressing birds. Week 6–8: When to sort catfish before they eat each other. Print it. Paste it on the pen wall. Tick daily. With target weights for every week, so you know immediately when something is wrong

🌽 The feed chapter — where the profit is actually made. Feed is 65–70% of everything you'll spend. Three levers to cut it: the free feeder trick that saves 10–15%, the distributor buying method, and two complete DIY formulas with exact kg ratios and batch costs — broiler finisher at ≈₦24,500/25kg vs ₦27k–₦30k commercial, catfish grow-out at ≈₦34,500 vs ₦46k–₦55k commercial

💉 The 5 Killers — Newcastle, Gumboro, coccidiosis, bad water, cannibalism. For each one: the signs, the cheap prevention (most cost under ₦4,000), and exactly what to do in the first 24 hours if it strikes. Plus, the one-sentence rule about when to stop guessing and call a vet

💰 The selling chapter — live vs dressed vs bulk, with current price bands for each route. The pre-selling method that collects deposits from week 5 so harvest day is delivery day, not marketing day. And the festive timing table: count 7 weeks back from Christmas or Sallah, and a ₦10,000 bird becomes ₦15,000

📊 Honest profit tables — conservative case: ₦80k–₦150k per broiler cycle, ₦120k–₦250k per catfish cycle. Best-run case shown with the full math. Plus the staggering method that turns cycles into something close to a monthly salary from month 6

📝 Printable record sheets — the daily log and money log that tell you, in black and white, whether you're Person A or Person B

"I have a small compound — will it really fit?" — 50 broilers need 5m × 3m. The pond is 3m × 2m. Chapter 1 includes the siting rules (sun direction, smell control, security) so your neighbours stay your customers.

"Feed prices keep rising — is it still profitable?" — That's exactly why Chapter 3 exists. The DIY grow-out formulas are how small farmers are protecting their margin in 2026.

"I've never kept animals before." — This book assumes zero experience. If you can follow a calendar and tick boxes daily, you qualify.
