Hi! What are your specific questions? Maybe we can help
How many chickens are you planning to get, and what breed?

Hi and welcome to BYC. Maybe check out Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) publications as you should be able to search for Africa-specific information.

Good luck

Hello and welcome to activity BYC! Glad you joined.
I would suggest not getting chicks until you are properly prepared. Especially not 80 of them!
Start educating yourself on proper housing and feeding, then build the proper housing and get the proper feed with at least a minimal first aid kit and THEN get the chicks. And I wouldn't start with 80! Try something a bit more reasonable for someone who appears to have zero knowledge and experience in raising chickens.
Good luck on your new adventure.

Decide what you want the birds for, the meat or egg laying, that will help you determine what breed to get. I do not know what breeds they have in Ghana so I can't speak to that but I know that not every breed is suitable for meat production or egg laying. Good luck with whatever you decide...
