Farmer Stories

What Farmers Say

Real experiences from farmers in Bundibugyo, Kasese and Fort Portal.

Hon Biira Juliet from Bundibugyo

“Starting with quality chicks gave me the confidence to grow.”

I started poultry farming with very little experience. My biggest concern was getting quality chicks and knowing how to manage them. I purchased Sasso day-old chicks from Skills Poultry Breeders and received guidance on brooding, feeding and vaccination. The experience gave me confidence to continue with poultry farming. Today, I see poultry as a serious business rather than just a small household activity.

“One-month chicks gave me an easier way to enter poultry farming.”

Brooding day-old chicks was difficult for me because I did not have enough time and equipment. I decided to buy one-month-old chicks from Skills Poultry Breeders. The birds were already stronger and easier for me to manage. This saved me time and allowed me to concentrate on growing the birds.

“Good farming starts with good foundations.”

I wanted to establish a poultry project but I knew that the quality of chicks would determine my starting point. I chose Skills Poultry Breeders because of their poultry experience. The chicks were active, and I also received advice on their management. My experience encouraged me to continue investing in poultry.

“What started as a small project is becoming a family business.”

I began poultry farming on a small scale to supplement my household income. After purchasing Sasso chicks, I became interested in expanding my flock. The birds gave me an opportunity to produce both meat and eggs. Poultry has now become an important activity for my family.

“Fertilized eggs opened another opportunity for my farm.”

I wanted to learn how to hatch my own chicks instead of depending entirely on buying chicks. I purchased fertilized eggs and started learning about incubation. This experience introduced me to another part of the poultry value chain. I am now more interested in breeding and expanding my poultry enterprise.

“Quality chicks make a farmer more confident about investing.”

When I started looking for chicks, I was concerned about their quality because poor-quality chicks can affect a farmer's investment. The chicks I purchased from Skills Poultry Breeders were active and, with proper management, developed well. This gave me confidence in continuing with poultry farming.

“Knowledge is one of the most valuable products a farmer can receive.”

What impressed me was that I did not simply buy chicks and go home. I was also able to receive guidance on how to manage them. I learned about feeding, housing, vaccination and general poultry management. The knowledge has helped me improve the way I run my farm.

“Sasso has helped me diversify what my farm can produce.”

I wanted chickens that could give my family both meat and eggs. I chose Sasso birds because they fit my farming goals. After receiving the chicks and following proper management practices, I became more confident in keeping them. Poultry is now helping me create an additional source of income.

“Every successful farm can begin with a small flock.”

I started with a small flock because I wanted to understand the business before investing more money. As I gained experience, I became more confident and started planning for expansion. The quality of the birds and the support I received encouraged me to continue.

“A good farmer must combine quality birds with proper management.”

My main concern was the health and strength of the chicks. When I received my chicks, they were active. I followed the recommended feeding and vaccination programme and paid attention to hygiene and housing. The experience taught me that good chicks and good management must go together.

“Poultry farming becomes more productive when you treat it as a business.”

I initially considered poultry farming a side activity. However, as I learned more about the poultry market, I began seeing opportunities in selling birds and eggs. With time, I started treating my poultry farm as a business and keeping better records.

“One-month chicks are a practical option for farmers with limited brooding facilities.”

I preferred one-month-old chicks because I wanted to avoid some of the challenges associated with early brooding. The birds were easier for me to manage, and I could concentrate on feeding and growing them. This product has made poultry farming more accessible to me.

“I learned that poultry farming is a profession, not just keeping chickens.”

Before I became a poultry farmer, I thought poultry farming was simply about feeding chickens and collecting eggs. I later learned that successful poultry farming requires proper housing, feeding, vaccination, hygiene and record keeping. The guidance I received helped me change my approach.

“My poultry farm is helping me turn eggs into regular business opportunities.”

Egg production has given me another opportunity to generate income. I sell eggs within my community and use the proceeds to support my household and continue investing in the farm. Starting with good birds and managing them properly has been important to my progress.

My dream is to build a large commercial poultry farm. I started small, learned from my experiences and continued increasing my knowledge. The products and guidance from Skills Poultry Breeders have contributed to my journey. I now have a clearer vision of where I want my farm to go.
