My business is known as LENG'S Poultry Farm. It is located at Kimumu a business and residential area 3km drive from Eldoret Town . The place is filled with business premises including hotels, dairy shops and grocery outlets.

My poultry farm is made up of 20 cross-breed chicken . Currently, 10 of the chicken are laying eggs, five are due in a week's time and the rest are cocks.

SOURCE OF CAPITAL
My source of capital is from my personal savings that are accrued from my teaching salary . Besides, the profits acquired from the business are significantly driven back into the growth of the farm. In addition to that, i have a supporting family that are always available to offer a helping hand.

MARKET
My customers are mainly hotels, dairy shops, groceries, schools and the entire community. This type of market is consistent considering that eggs and vegetables are necessities in these business premises all throughout the year . Besides , during holidays and festive seasons, the demand for chicken and its products is at its peak .
In addition to that, when schools and universities are closed, the demand for eggs and vegetables increases.
