What constitutes a happy chicken?

Good question for the Ebenezer graduates.....


The chickens at Ebenezer were weighed this week and they are averaging 1.57kg after 4 weeks instead of the estimated 1.3kg after 4 weeks. A chicken expert from Technoserve visited Ebenezer and said that the only time he has seen chickens looking so healthy, happy and fat were chicken done on a commercial scale under environmentally controlled broiler rooms. He wanted to know what the secret was at Ebenezer especially seeing as there was no electricity or fans?


So what constitutes a happy, healthy and fat chicken at Ebenezer? The graduates pray over the chicks and the Union Brothers sing hymns to them. They sure are applying themselves in every area. The chickens are breaking commercial records in the rural areas. These high standards are on par or even better than the commercial chicken houses. The principles of on time, to standard, without wastage and with joy are applied and this is a testimony of God’s faithfulness and fruitfulness.


How does Beyond Belief, Ebenezer and the Graduates all fit into the healthy, happy, fat chickens? Ebenezer provides the land and the buildings. Beyond belief provides the chickens and the technical support while the graduates provide the labour and it another skill they are leaning. Teamwork is the way forward.
