My hobby is reading novels and watching movies and also feeding cattle something believed to b only for men.
My Business
I do poultry farming where i mainly do layers And also keep chicks to a certain level and sell them to keep a constant number of layers because of limited resources i have.This kind of business is on demand because my home is not far from eldoret town and really growing so hotels are in demand of eggs and also locals are in need of grown chicks for rearing. I have 20 layers laying 15-18 eggs a day and an egg goes for $0.10 returning $1.5 aday and $45 amonth. I also have 50 3weeks old chicks that i will sell them after 2 months at $2 each making it $100. i later end up with arevenue of $30 a month.i later use my profits in reinvesting into my business and for my daughter's upkeep.
