Urban Farming

[It's Me Scumbag]

So I had the fortune of visiting a relative somewhere in the vast estates of Thika town. What surprised me was the thriving kienyeji chicken business they are doing in the.confines of their plot. They had more that 50 kienyeji chicken and informed me that they also sell eggs and when culling time arrives,they sell chicken at between 700 and 1200. The highest number of chicken they have ever had was 125. In an area less that 300ft².

That got me thinking that there is a certain 100 by 100 piece of land somewhere in Joska. (Joska is rural isn't it?) Watu wa Joska Kamulu msiniue

I know you are an expert in animal husbandry. How much area does a single chicken require? And I forgot to add that is the running coop...

4ft²

Broilers and replacement pullets should be raised at one bird per sq ft (0.09 sq m) while leghorn layers over 20 weeks of age should be housed at 1.5 sq ft (0.14 sq m) per bird and medium size layers at 1.75 sq ft (0.16 sq m).
