Have u ever tried the premier oba 2 variety? One thing with these kind varieties is that they're like agric fowls. If you don't care for them very well they'll not yield much. They require the best management practices - fertilizers, irrigation, weeding, pest control etc. I rear egg layers and I want to start formulating my own feed through a miller. If I can grow my own maize - about 50% of feed mix can be maize - feed cost will be greatly reduced.
