In May 2024 , I bought 300chicks from a dealer for my pourlty farm, after 1month of struggling with them they started dying one by one and only remained 43 . I almost lost hope and quitted poultry farming but considering so many factors, I had to get money from my savings and bought other 250 chick's from a company in Eldoret. They all grew up well and I have been selling them plus the eggs since November, I have only remained with 12 in my stock and am now very happy with the decision that I made.

Lessons I learnt about myself and my business based on that experience are the following.

1. Always save for your business . My savings is what kept me going.

2. Get your stock from a trusted dealer/source. I guess my chick were not fully immunized

3. Challenges are part of success.

4. Never focus much on the negative side.

5. Never lose hope . There's always light at the end of the tunnel.

6. Be consistent in what you do. Never stop, never wait , never take a break.

7.Your business should always be your priority.

8.Be patient . Things become better with time.

9. When you are experiencing a challenge in your business, your decision will always determine the outcome .

10.Always learn from your mistakes incase you fail .

11. Success takes time. You cannot wake up from nowhere and you become successful.
