Laying birds require at least 14 to 16 hours of light each day for maximum year round production. Decreasing the light will stop egg production. Light must be added before sunrise and after sunset during the fall and winter, but be sure to provide several hours of darkness so the birds can roost. Use an inexpensive automatic timer to turn lights on and off. For each 40 square feet of pen space, install one 25-watt bulb at ceiling height above the food and water area. For floor-reared layers, provide at least 6 inches of roost space per bird, using. | The Organic Farmer The magazine for sustainable agriculture in East Africa biovision Nr. 73 June 2011 What s the trouble with maize TOF - Kenya is faced with a looming shortage of maize.

The frequency of government failure to take the country s food security situation as a matter of priority is something that really baffles the mind. We have repeatedly reminded Kenyan planners that any government worth its name cannot fail to plan on the food requirements of its people whatever the circumstances. Right now a packet of unga is going for Ksh 120 while a bag of maize has reached an all time high of Ksh 3600 - even in the Setback for poultry farmers TOF - For some years chicken rearing and breeding has been the most thriving sector in agriculture.
