They are also good for farming as most of the population are farmers Also the population of the county is growing from time to time and i am really struggling to meet the demand of this products . I want to increase the number of birds to one thousand and this will mean satisfying some of the demands from my customers and making an average monthly income of Kshs200000 per month. I will use the profits to reinvestment,pay school fees and the other to start empowering projects to empower women and youths in the county thus giving back to the community
