Ensure there are enough feeders and drinkers and that water is there all the time.

When your birds are on Free Range, you have to put some drinkers and feeders outside.

Lake Sand: Lake Sand is good to be mixed in feeds as grit.

Grass: In case you have no paddock, Ensure that you get the recommended grass and you put it in the houses for the chicks/chicken to pick on and eat.

Debeaking: Kroiler/Kuloiler are normaly NOT debeaked. This is because, their sharp mouth is their biggest asset to help them scavenge all sorts of feeds. However, in case they are eating eggs, you may have no option but to debeak.



Automatic Feeders/Drinkers: These are available on the Market in Kenya/Tanzania and Uganda. If you can afford, then use them, they could be good energy savers in terms od labor.
