Welcome to BYC! Where do you live?
Oh boy! You must have an impressive backyard! 
A total of 350,000 birds will eat a lot of food, i have just 29 ducks and they ate all hair off my head. Regardless of small or large scale, the fastest growth of your birds will be achieved if they have access to food and water 24x7, so they can eat and drink whenever they want.
My 29 ducks go through a 50lbs bag of pellets in 6 days, that is 8.33 lbs per day and 0.29 lbs per day and bird. Multiply that with 350.000 and you should calculate with 100,574 lbs of feed per day.
One way to reduce feed cost is free ranging - if you have enough land and can live with losses from predators. The meat quality will be better too, less fat more muscles.
Also i would seriously look into a fodder system:
http://www.foddersystems.com/fodder-systems.htmlhttps://www.farmtek.com/farm/supplies/cat1a;ft_fodder_systems.htmlTheir websites claim their fodder systems are for cattle, but poultry also likes to eat fresh fodder, there are multiple fodder threads here, but of course not at the scale you will need.
Do you already have customers for your birds?

In Nigeria
Have you contacted any of the poultry farms listed in this link? They might be able to help:
https://www.practicalbusinessideas.com/poultry-farms-in-nigeria/
for quick growth you’ll want to feed them something high in protein. Sorry that’s not much help, but my 16 birds (13 chickens, 3 guineas) go through 40lbs of layer crumble about every 2 weeks with free ranging and table scraps
