“We must dare to start small from home. Even if the space is limited, don’t leave it idle. Take the first step, even if it’s just five chickens. Stop complaining…we must change our own circumstances,” he told Bernama recently.
Hamdan began his journey in April 2022 during the Movement Control Order (MCO) amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The father of five said egg shortages sparked the idea at the time, when purchases were limited to just five eggs per household.
“From there, I discussed with my son about raising laying hens to ensure our family’s food security. I learned everything from YouTube,” he said, adding that he started with 30 hens bought at RM7 each.
By August 2022, he said, the hens had begun laying eggs.
Today, Hamdan manages more than 60 adult hens, including Australorp, White Leghorn, Coral, and Lohman Brown breeds, producing about 30 eggs daily, each sold at 60 sen.
He chose laying hens due to their low maintenance and minimal space requirements compared to other livestock.
“Each hen consumes about 110 to 120 grammes of feed twice daily, with 16 per cent protein content. I provide more feed in the afternoon as egg formation occurs at night,” he explained.
