KIENYEJI POULTRY BASICS
Poultry farming remains one of Kenya’s best side hustles, but feed costs will eat your profits if you don’t plan ahead.
Starting with 100 Improved Kienyeji chicks:
• Chicks (1-day old): KES 10,000
• Starter & grower feeds (18 weeks): KES 28,000
• Vaccines & vitamins: KES 4,500
Total capital to egg-laying stage: KES 42,500.

At an 80% lay rate, 100 hens produce about 80 eggs daily. Selling at KES 15 per egg generates KES 1,200 daily or KES 36,000 monthly gross income.
To stay profitable, supplement commercial feeds with hydroponic fodder and greens to cut feed expenses by 30%.

THIS is How you can Live on a KES 35,000 Salary

Earning KES 35,000 a month in Kenya can feel tight, but a structured budget changes everything.
Here is a realistic 50/30/20 monthly framework:
1. Needs (KES 17,500): Rent (max KES 8,000), food, water, electricity, transport.
2. Growth & Savings (KES 10,500): SACCO shares, emergency fund, skill development.
3. Wants & Family (KES 7,000): Airtime, black tax, personal leisure.
The secret to making this work is paying yourself first. Transfer your SACCO or savings allocation the minute your salary hits your bank or M-Pesa account. Waiting until the end of the month means nothing will be left.

Net House Farming Breakdown:
Running a net house farm in Kenya costs less than most people think, but one common mistake ruins profitability instantly.
Here is a realistic startup budget for a 1/8th-acre net house setup:
1. Metallic frame & uv-netting: KES 45,000
2. Drip irrigation kit & tank setup: KES 15,000
3. Certified capsicum/tomato seeds & soil prep: KES 10,000
Total initial capital: KES 70,000.
With proper spacing and drip management, a single harvest cycle can yield 1.5 to 2 tonnes of capsicum over 4 months.
The mistake? Planting before finding a market buyer. Always secure your off-taker or market vendor before seeds touch the soil.
