Revenue Projection (6 Months)

Expected Profit: TSh 313,000 - 713,000 in 6 months

Indigenous eggs: 240-300 eggs/month × TSh 300 = TSh 72,000-90,000/month
Kuroiler meat: 30 birds × 2.75kg × TSh 8,000 = TSh 660,000
Indigenous chicks: 100 chicks/cycle × TSh 2,000 = TSh 200,000
Total 6-month revenue: TSh 800,000 - 1,200,000

Expected Outcomes & Performance

Kuroiler survival rate: 85-90% (30-32 birds)
Adult indigenous survival: 95% (14 birds) - already mature
Kuroiler slaughter weight: 2.5-3.0 kg in 16-18 weeks
Immediate egg production from indigenous hens
Indigenous egg production: 8-10 eggs/day from 12 hens
Kuroiler egg production: 180-220 eggs/year after maturity
Total meat production: 100-120 kg
Potential revenue in 6 months: TSh 800,000 - 1,200,000

Project Timeline & Activities

Week 1: Setup & Acclimatization

Introduce 15 adult indigenous to coop
Set up brooder for 35 Kuroiler chicks
Install feeders, waterers, laying nests
Begin vaccination program for chicks

Weeks 2-4: Brooding & Egg Production

Indigenous hens laying 8-10 eggs daily
Monitor Kuroiler chick growth
Provide heat for chicks (35°C)
Starter feed 4 times daily for chicks

Weeks 5-12: Growing Phase & Sales

Switch Kuroiler to grower feed
Sell excess indigenous eggs
Monitor weight gain in Kuroiler
Separate layers from meat birds

Weeks 13-24: Production & Harvest

Kuroiler reach slaughter weight
Continue egg production from indigenous
Harvest first batch of Kuroiler for meat
Plan breeding with indigenous cocks

Key Success Factors

Immediate Egg Production

12 adult indigenous hens provide immediate daily egg income from week 1.

Breeding Program

3 indigenous cocks enable natural breeding for sustainable chick production.

Dual Income Streams

Eggs from indigenous hens + meat from Kuroiler = diversified revenue.

Local Market Advantage

Kigamboni location provides access to local markets and premium prices for indigenous products.
