In nairobi a kilo of chicken meat goes for around 350 shillings per kilo. A Dorep chicken matures for meat at 6-8 weeks if well fed and can weigh around 4-5 kg for hen and 8-10 kg for the cocks.
My research shoes that a chicken feeds on 150 grams on average over its life.
Just like Kenbro Chicken, Dorep variety of Chicken start laying eggs at 4.5 -5 months. As such if one lacks a market, the Chicken can be kept as Layers. As mentioned previoulsy the eggs can be bought back by Dorep as long as you bought the original stock of chicks from them. you also need to follow their feeding and medicating guidelines to be a position to sell the eggs back to them.
The Dorep business model basically helps small scale farmers with breeding stock, management and marketing of their produce.

A bag of 70 kg feeds go for 3,000 shillings although this price fluctuates throught the year. as such if the operation is continous throught the year the farmer should be able to average out the cost with the profits across the price fluctuations.
On average outside Nairobi a labourer is paid 5,000 shillings a month. With a ready market this is a viable business project
