My name is Joseph Serima, a Zimbabwean by nationality. Am male,28 years old. Am a Holder of a Master of Social Science in Development Studies degree from the university of Fort Hare in South Africa. Had also completed some MSc courses in Promotion of Local Economic Development; and Agriculture and Rural Development Policy from the International Institute of Social Studies in the Netherlands.
l have a farm in Zimbabwe and had been motivated to invest in Backyard poultry production. Have not yet started, am still in the process of gathering funds and preparing. l therefore believe that this platform is going to offer me new knowledge and skills for a successful implementation of my project.


Thank you!

Hello Joseph,

The best place to start is the Learning Center. There you'll find articles on all aspects of chicken-keeping. There's even a separate section in the Learning Center on other poultry such as ducks, geese, quail, etc.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask. There is a lot of information available here and a lot of knowledgeable, friendly members.

Good luck to you!

Nice to meet you Joseph. I think the Learning Center is a good place to start. Welcome to Backyard chickens.

Hi Joseph from Kenya. I wish you all the best with your farming venture. Based on a couple of people I know here who have gone into chicken farming, it's better to start small and build up gradually, as your experience develops. Maybe get a few chickens now while you are building your capital - it will give you a head start?

All the best
Ct
