A "chicken" thing.....

It looks like a chicken thing is on at the moment. About 256 people gathered at Crossroads last Friday from Ward 16 (Mabaluwuni village, Silozwe, Natisa, Lushumbe and Gwandaville) Ezra Prescott and a guest speaker from Harare - Vitalis Gonesi came to Mablauwuni village to train and equip the villagers on Broiler chicken and Layer chicken management.

Vitalis shared on how to prepare chicken houses with excellence, make sure there is a good water source, being dedicated, and knowing what you are doing. Ezra spoke about the business side of chickens - the importance of having a market, record keeping, taking care of eggs and putting them in trays. Mxwayisi spoke about using Foundations for Farming principles with the chickens i.e. doing things on time, to standard, without wastage and with joy.

It was a good meeting and many people didn't know much on broiler and layer chickens as well as being able to apply the Foundations for Farming principles to chickens and everyday life. They appreciated the training.
