Starting my poultry farm was tougher than I thought. I began with ten chickens, hoping to sell eggs and grow my flock. At first, things went wrong — one hen got sick, and I lost a few eggs because I didn’t know how to store them properly. I felt discouraged, but I didn’t give up.

I spent time researching proper feeding routines and how to keep the coop clean. Slowly, my hens became healthier, and they started laying more eggs. I packed the eggs neatly in trays and convinced a local shopkeeper to buy from me.

On my first sale, I earned 1,000 shillings. It wasn’t a huge amount, but it felt like a victory. That moment showed me that patience, learning, and hard work pay off. I reinvested the money into better chicken feed, and soon my small poultry business started growing. That first 1,000 shillings was the start of something bigger.
