Markets closed due to ebola

Added: 2026-06-01

[00:00:00]Good morning ladies and gentlemen and welcome back to my YouTube channel. Uh today we are starting the video here. As you can see I'm rocking or I'm putting the wood on my motorcycle because I'm taking the chickens in the market. We are going to go to Nagana market uh to see whether we can be able to sell the chickens in the market. You get it?

[00:00:23]because I tried to see whether I could get the sale or the buyer who could buy the chickens on the farm and maybe text them at the go but it didn't it didn't happen. So I decided to take them to the market so that we can be able to sell because if I leave them on the farm for the longer period of time without selling I can end up in a ros. So you know when you're a farmer you have to target and calculate you know the duration the time and the money you're spending on the farm so that you doesn't end up in the ros so that's why I decided to be taking them to the market because actually they are almost 4 months because on 28th that's when they could be reaching 4 month so that now they are close to 4 months so I decided to sell them so that I can make a profit because the area you save the bad the more profit you get because the more they the more time they spend on the farm that's the more food you give them and that's that's the more that's the rest the net profit you get you you get much gross profit but when you calculate the net profit you doesn't uh get anything you know maybe when I'm using the technical words you may understand the gross profit is the total amount of the money you sell the chicken but the net profit is the actual profit you're making from selling So you get the net profit by subtracting uh by getting the gross profit and you subtract the expenditure you get there.

[00:02:07]So guys I was just coming to the market.

[00:02:10]I was already in the market and you can see uh the market is already empty. uh you know we have an a pandemic that is in Democratic Republic of Congo which is uh a bora so due to that they have just crossed the market so today it was supposed to be a market day but even people have have came but as they as they're telling me they're telling me that the security officers are chasing uh the people away uh because of that or because of making or causing the safety issue you get So there's no market today and I was coming with the chickens. So I'm really in paris. I don't know what I I will be able to do but think maybe when that when is like that I'm going to look for option B because nothing much because now here there's no clients.

[00:03:20]Okay. So, uh there's a lot of case going on uh typically here in our area. All wooden houses on the road and in the town have been chased away. and say that uh even all the markets now are shut down due uh due to the corona virus pandmic which are inside the democratic republic but I'm pretty sure that maybe things will come out come in normal senses you know right now the economy of the is right now shutting down shutting down because of corona virization and all other things. So right now we are from they have just us away from the market.

[00:04:10]So we just heading to the town to see whether we can be able to sell the chickens. We had looked out of the farm so that it doesn't take them back from the farm to get because it's not good to take chickens from the farm and then later uh you return them to the farm. So doesn't make sense in the real doesn't make sense.

[00:04:36]So we are from the town selling the chicken. This ones which my wife is holding are the ones that are remaining.

[00:04:43]So we are right now going back. But since right now it is almost 400 p.m.

[00:04:48]And we haven't taken anything. So that's why we are deciding to come in this tea room so that we can get something to to eat. Let's sit here behind. Let's sit behind. No, this is half this is Okay.

[00:05:34]Yes.

[00:05:37]Uh-huh.

[00:05:54]Okay. So we making just we're making an order uh here in the room so that we can get so that we can get uh something to eat as we heading back home so that we can reach home when you're still a little bit strong. You get you get it and uh we have ordered milk and then of course with donuts because when you're in Uganda donuts are the ones which are more common especially like and we call them mandas here. Yes.

[00:06:24]You understand today it has been really really so complicated because uh of the Ebora you know we're in Uganda so we are next to Congo so the outbreak is really rampant and it's causing almost all the businesses so you just pray for us you know and we have to be a little bit of course more cautious because it is in a is being outbreak in the eastern part of Uganda and remember We are next.

[00:07:00]>> Okay. I had ordered for milk but they have offered me black tea and with ramon. So since they are bringing money let me enjoy it. You get it. So let me enjoy money you know since that's money you know okay So me, you see this is my bracket. So they brought mandazi and this one is 500 each and the other one because that one is big that this one is 1,000 each and my wife okay the case of my wife she order that the milk as you can see she puted uh the tea on top the black tea on top this cony this is the one that is common here usually here in tea blended blended black tea you get it so she ordered milk that's what she's going to take and uh Yeah, I won't take the black together with together with uh mandazi. Yes. Or donuts, whatever you call it. But here in Uganda, we usually call it mandazi. So, let's enjoy.

[00:09:24]It's so tough, but very delicious and of course black very good because it has some lemon in so it's very really very very good this is like our lunch our breakfast because this morning actually I haven't even taken the breakfast so this is the breakfast the lunch everything you get everything Okay, so we are done.

[00:10:10]My wife is complaining like these are small. So she wants very big one.

[00:10:14]Okay, I want to pack them and then you take them for real and you get so my you may wonder like how much have I paid here in total I paid $1 for my my tea and my teeth in total it's one $1.1 it's $1.1 One door.

[00:10:53]How are you?

[00:10:55]Very good. Are you good? How are you?

[00:10:59]How are you?

[00:11:00]>> You're fine. Okay, thank you.

[00:11:28]Okay. So, yeah.

[00:11:32]It's really fast. So I feel like I'm very very that's why I'm taking water but still it's not cold because it's not >> Hey guys. So I have reached home. We are back. We are back at home. Okay. So these are the ones we have brought back because hey they're not giving us money which we needed. So when we calculated and we see that we in this visit bring them back on the farm and they give they first of a little bit bigger because they they are not willing to pay the the money we we are wanting and it's now feeding time so we going to feed very fast and then we see what other thing we can do here at home. Okay, that's greet my people.

[00:12:38]>> Guys, good evening.

[00:12:41]Uh, you're most welcome to Mr. To channel and do me a favor on Re Africa. Guys, we love you. Subscribe, like, share, and comment. We love you so much.

[00:13:00]So, we're here. She's she's checking whether the chickens may have laid some eggs. But of course, you see these chickens are eating eggs. I think tomorrow that is the thing that is the first thing I will first do. Uh cutting their cutting their beaks. You get because they are crazy eating eggs.

[00:13:20]Crazy eating eggs. So I'm first I'm going to first I'll first uh I'll first deick them tomorrow uh before doing another thing. And then to see whether the egg eating can reduce. You see that?

[00:13:35]Yes. They are crazy eating only two.

[00:13:45]>> They ate a lot of eggs. Imagine. Imagine today. How many eggs have you collected?

[00:13:53]>> 16.

[00:13:54]>> 15. These are this is making >> 17 out of you. How imagine how many eggs have they eat a day because we are collecting whole tray a tray of 30 eggs and right now we have we have collected only 17. So they eating more than 10 eggs a day. So tomorrow that is that is what I'm going to first do by cutting cutting off theirs. some way to cut off their beaks so that we can have so that we can reduce this because this car is can put us in a very big ros when you leave them to keep behaving like that.

[00:14:31]It can keep us can make us how are you?

[00:14:34]How are you? Hey, we are back home. We are back home. We are back home. Don't touch it. Okay, we are back. We are back. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

[00:14:44]Okay, we are back. Cool down. Cool down.

[00:14:46]We are back. Okay, that's uh this is Rashford.

[00:14:51]He's very happy, you know, when when you're back home. We are back. Thank you. Thank you. Okay. Okay. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Okay. Thank you.

[00:15:04]Okay. Okay. Cool. Cool down. Cool down.

[00:15:10]Okay. So, I will untie these chickens. I put them back in the uh in the chicken house. You know, we have a a lot of that down because No, no, no, no. What do I cool down? Okay, cool down.

[00:15:36]These are the Oh, that one. They attacking that chicken.

[00:15:40]Watch out.

[00:15:42]They attacking this chicken here. Let let it remain here. Okay. So, these are the only uh which are remaining here on the farm. Wait, watch.

[00:15:55]Okay. Which are remaining here on the farm. And the dog is How are you dog?

[00:16:00]Okay.

[00:16:02]Okay. Let's go out.

[00:16:06]Go out. Out.

[00:16:08]Nash phone. Out boat we go.

[00:16:22]Come on. Okay.

[00:16:25]Okay. So, these are the only Wait, don't go in there. I'm telling Dashford not to go in there. So, these are are the we are remaining with here on the farm. very few the remaining is around 20 plus 20 plus here on the farm and uh but I'm not I'm not counting the ones I removed I'm not counting the ones which I removed uh which I puted inside here because here we also have some other uh we puted inside here five those ones which you see which are in car those are the so I'm not counting those the ones which we puted which we puted inside here. Uh because Rashford come. Okay. No, Rashford likes going in. Okay. So, we puted around five in five We put five inside here for for fertilization purposes. So, we don't count those ones which are the which are remaining on the farm. I will just have them on the list in the records. Even when I'm counting in my head because now these are permanent part of the farm but uh the reason why I'm saying we are remaining with 20 plus is because these ones are on the sale. So we are supposed to sell the fidget. So and then we have 90 plus uh we have 90 plus femerals.

[00:17:52]We have 90 plus females here. You know here we have in 90 plus which we are waiting for them today. You can see all of them are still taking their evening food. They are they haven't finished eating. They still taking their evening food. So these uh more than around more than around 90 plus this feeder is spilling food. You see thank god that I was filming and I had to come otherwise otherwise the old all food would be wasted.

[00:18:46]It is supposed to be like this. Okay.

[00:18:49]Right now it is well managed. So this 90 plus after we are remaining is 1 month.

[00:18:56]uh because right now on 28th of this month there will be 4 months and between 4 to 5 months that's when they start egg production. So anytime when I get time I'm going to construct for them the ring boxes here. I'm going to construct the ring boxes here so that they can still start running as you can see here this one you know that is the sound for the rain birds. So when a chicken has not yet started laying and start to make that sound which that chicken is making that is an clear indicator that it is mature and it has it is preparing itself for egg production because you can even see its comb it's very red and it shows maturity because when you see a chicken that is not sexually mature uh its comb is not that much red it's like you know quite hish red you knowish something like that. But when you see when the chicken has the pure ready comp, that is one indicator that shows that uh the the co the hen is very sexually mature and it is it is prepared uh to start egg production. Yes, you know that is it.

[00:20:16]So even though we are experiencing a tragedy here on the farm as our chicken is are eating the eggs which they arrive but I think tomorrow I'm going to work on that before I do anything else tomorrow I will have to first bick them. I want to first deb them.

[00:20:36]Okay I'm checking I'm checking something I'm checking another egg you get. So tomorrow in the morning actually I'll show you that I'll film that. So I would bick them you know I would bick them but roar because remember here I doesn't have any debeaker. So deicking them I will have to do roar using roar materials using fire and a knife so that I can be able to work.

[00:21:13]You want to you want you want to bite my my my finger?

[00:21:17]Okay. So, tomorrow I will start by by the baking my chickens and then when I do the big my chickens, let me Okay.

[00:21:31]When I do the big my chickens, I think that will now perfect work well cuz we losing a lot of eggs. We are losing a lot of eggs because they laying as they lay. They eat them. They lay after laying they hit them you get which is not good which is very very very very terrible. Okay. So that is it. You know today it was very busy day moving from market to market. We moved to Nagana.

[00:22:00]The market was shut down because of a bora outbreak. Uh so the borders are now closed.

[00:22:07]You can see even the markets are being closed. I think even in the future they may even close schools because it happened once when also there was a neighbor in Congo and they even closed the schoolus. So the schools may also close and remember uh on Monday yesterday but yesterday that's when the schools in Uganda had reopened. So I'm curious that they may close the schools again. They may close the schools again.

[00:22:36]So, so now meaning that we're not having more market because the markets are being shut down and uh when we went out when we went in and we found it is like that the market is closed. The people had gone the market but they sent police to chase the people away and uh we had to go to the town. So we went to the town. Thank God that we were able even though we were not able to sell all the chickens we took, we sold a fraction of the chickens we were able to take. So, so after selling, we came back in peace.

[00:23:12]So nowadays we have to take more uh of the hygiene you know as you know of course most of the outbreaks when you are wearing mask washing your hands you are on high you are standing on the very high on the very good percentage of not uh contracting of not contracting like this I'm seeing my grandma here in the in the in the No, no, no, no, no. She's a family. You get what?

[00:24:09]for Okay, that's a grandma. She's checking on She checking on the arms. Yes.

[00:24:47]>> Okay. I'm I'm thinking but I'm not getting what she's saying.

[00:24:57]Okay. She's saying like these jams are not yet much like attached to the ground because they are freshly planted.

[00:25:06]Okay.

[00:25:07]Go home. Go home. Go home. Go home.

[00:25:15]Okay.

[00:25:18]Okay. That's grandma. She's in the dashians. I heard that Caribbean called them dashians. But uh because you remember Uganda was colonized by British. So we are more likely to speak.

[00:25:33]We speak I think the the pronunciation the accent and the words we we used and the Britain are from Britain. So we call them yams here. you get because it's the same way like here most of the Americans and Caribbean people call the tr this one they call this one pants but here we call them trousers you know because that's you know the English we taught from colonizers and all the rest that's the same English which is still taught in school you get so uh we call those ones yams not dashins but I heard that Caribbean call them dashians You get it? Yes. Okay, guys. So, allow me to close my today's video here and uh I'm really glad to to have been having you on my channel. I'm really so grateful.
