The Noiler is a hardy, dual-purpose bird for a keeper who wants meat and eggs from one flock without paying imported-line prices. It is hatched locally at our Kasoa hatchery, and it sits in the same lower price band as the Kuroiler.
We deliver Noiler day-old chicks to Ho. The box travels about 185 km by road from our hatchery in Opeikuma, Kasoa, and the usual journey is four to five hours. This page covers the bird, the road, brooding, selling in the Volta Region and the price.
Why a Noiler suits a Ho homestead
The Noiler is a cross bred for dual use, meat and eggs, and it is built for a homestead that cannot give every bird fine-tuned housing. It is a fit for a family flock or a small commercial flock where the keeper wants a bird that handles the weather without a precisely managed house.
The Volta Region asks for toughness. Ho sits where the forest hills give way to savanna woodland, so the wet months bring damp and the dry months bring heat. A bird that handles changing conditions is a sound choice for a yard. The Noiler is one of the local lines we hatch for keepers who run their flocks that way.
A Noiler can also make good use of a yard with scraps and room to forage, although the flock still needs a proper ration and clean water. Think of foraging as a bonus to the feed you provide, not a replacement for it.
Because Noiler is priced below the imported lines, it suits a keeper who wants to build a flock step by step. Keep the feed and water clean, shelter the flock from the rain, and the local line will repay that care with steady birds and eggs.
Be clear about what you want from the flock before the box is ordered. If your priority is the most eggs possible, a layer line may serve you better. If you want a flock that gives you both eggs and birds for the table, the Noiler is the sort of bird that fits that plan.
The road from Kasoa to Ho
The road from our Opeikuma hatchery to Ho is about 185 km by road, usually four to five hours, and it goes over the Volta at Adomi Bridge. A four to five hour journey is manageable for a Noiler box if the chicks are packed well and the collector is ready at the other end.
We box the chicks in ventilated boxes of 50 and close the box only when it is ready to leave. The person collecting it in Ho needs to be at the agreed point at the agreed time, with a working phone. Describe the handover point in your message, including any landmark the driver can follow, so the box is not left waiting while the collector searches.
Before any money moves, we agree three things with you: the price, the hatch date and the delivery cost to your town. Put the delivery cost in writing. On arrival, count the box and report any chicks dead on arrival the same day. Those are replaced free in the next hatch.
Brooding Noiler chicks in Ho
The first days decide how well a Noiler flock settles. A chick that comes off the road into a warm, dry, quiet brooder usually finds water and feed quickly. A chick that lands in a cold, damp shed often does not, and that difference shows up in the first weeks.
Set the brooder up before the box is due. Put dry litter down, test the heat source, and fill the drinkers with clean water. Feed should be within reach and in a clean dish. Keep the house quiet and draught-free for the first day or two. Shallow, low drinkers suit young chicks best, because they can reach the water without climbing or struggling.
If the weather turns cold or damp on the day the box lands, keep the chicks in a closed, warm corner of the brooder until they are dry and settled. Chicks that are wet and chilled after the road are the ones that struggle most in the first night.
- Check the box on arrival and set aside any chicks that are dead or too weak to stand.
- Dip the beaks into water before you put the chicks down.
- Feed a starter ration made for young birds, and change it only when your feed supplier advises.
- Watch where the chicks gather. Huddling at the edge means they are cold, and panting away from the heat means they are too hot.
Every batch is vaccinated at hatch, and we tell you what was given. Keep that note with the arrival date. A dual-purpose flock often stays with the keeper for a long time, so good records from the first day pay off later, when you need to know what the birds had and when.
Selling Noiler birds and eggs in Ho
A dual-purpose line gives you two ways to earn: eggs each week and birds when they are ready. Many keepers sell eggs to neighbours and nearby shops, and they sell birds around festive times, when demand for live birds is higher.
Ho's markets are busiest on market days, and the festive seasons bring more buyers for live birds. Time the sale of birds for those weeks where you can. Line up a buyer before the birds are ready, so they do not spend extra days in the house waiting for someone to come.
Keep a few birds back for your own family table if you need them, and count them in your records so the numbers stay honest. Friends and family often ask to buy from the flock once they taste the birds, and a fair price for them is part of building trust in your yard.
Track your sales from the first hatch: the number of eggs and birds, the price, and who bought them. After a season, those records will show whether the Noiler is paying its way on your ground.
