The Poultry Project at KMU has reported the sale of its first flock of chickens. They sold 268 chickens with an average weight just under 3lb for a total of US $1860.00. This generated a profit of approximately US $275.00. With the ability to raise 5 to 6 flocks per year and perhaps expanding the facility this shows promise of becoming become a good source of income for KMU.
There was a loss of 32 chickens (approximately 11%) during the raising of the flock. The students have gained valuable experience in raising poultry and already have an expectation for an even better yield for the next project. We are looking forward to a report on the next flock soon.
