Hi, I am a filmmaker but very passionate about Dairy & poultry Farming . My farm is in Kamukuywa scheme Bungoma/kitale.
I am intrested in starting poultry specifically layers as I I have noted most eggs in the country are imported.
Do you have any trained chargehands that are in need of employment to handle layers and broilers from your organization. Alternatively would you mind training someone to handle the same.
Many thanks
