Livestock farming is not for lazy men

Hello hive

Some days ago I wrote about how I was helping out a friend who embark on a journey to cater for his birds, and after spending three days with the birds, I've come to conclusion that livestock farming isn't for lazy men.

It's not that I'm lazy, I mean come to think of it, I'm into nothing less than 4 different work(excluding hive) which as served as a multiple streams of income for me, but I don't think any of it as been so engaging like the past three days I spent with the bird.

Though it could be that I was the one who overwork Myself, just to make sure my friend birds are in good condition and that he doesn't regret keeping them under my watch.

I basically visit them almost every one hour, and one I notice any of them is down, I usually follow his guiding and how @peterale took care of his birds, which he usually share here on hive.

One of the reason why I don't want to venture into livestock farming is because I tend to get too engrossed with them; in term of how them feel, feed and I could be over protective just to avoid seeing them being killed for meals.

That's probably why I've never taken the life of any livestock since my existence (except you want to count mosquito as a livestock ☺️).

Despite my efforts in checking up on them I still lose another bird, making 2 within the three days I spent with them, but by the time my friend came back, he was full of praises for me, stating that I really tried, because they are days were he sometimes lose about 2 bird on a daily basis.

With my experience so far, I don't think I'll venture into this aspect of farming, but I've cultivated the habit of visiting their pen house even after my friend came back.

I celebrate all livestock farmers and hail their consistent spirit and habit of checking the livestock both night and day.

May your effort not been in vain, I pray God bless your works and grant you increase on all side.

That's true sha, at the reward will make the pain and stress fade away( I also feel the same way when I harvest my crop and farm product).
God bless your hustle bro.

Loss is what every farmer don't pray for, quite disheartening to see you record mortality, just don't feel down.

Thanks so much.

You really did a great work ,poultry work is not that easy because it requires proper monitoring and whenever you noticed any chicken that is not active you quickly separate it from the rest so that others will not be affected

Interesting, it really isn't easy, thanks for dropping your thoughts.
Have a pleasant night rest.

Thanks so much and you too

You're welcome bro.
