Chicken Farmer Teaching Others How To Raise Chickens!

[Blueswamper55]

I’ve been raising chickens in the US for years, having grown up on a farm. I travel to Liberia yearly to teach men, women, and children how to raise chickens! Electricity or what they call Current isn’t readily available. I’m interested in other ways of raising chickens, including the use of kerosene to operate an incubator for a 21-23 day stretch.

Thank you!

Hiya, and welcome to BYC!!

I have seen solar, but not kerosine yet. Perhaps someone will come along that has ideas for you.

Hello and welcome to BYC!

Kerosene fumes are no doubt lethal to chickens delicate respiratory systems. As @Debbie292d brought up, solar and solar charged batteries might be the way to go.

Good luck!

how about augmenting Solar with Generator far away (few hundred feet) that would work to ensure 30 days for incubation cycle. depends on your ability to support a decent solar system and how many watts you need.
