How authentic is the farm , I know obj farm do raise ostrich but its not an easy stuff as u can see the size that's the rate of its consumption at a time obj farm was selling 6 weeks old for 200k that's in 2015 , I don't know current price so u can imagine such.
It may interest you to note that Adult well feed ostrich will finish a full bag of 25kg finisher feed in 2 days that's how serious their eating is , they don't get tired of eating
So imagine raising it how do you cope and what do u think about your marketing possibilities

the authenticity of the farm, I can't say. but when I called the person, he told me that a day old is 3k and there are 30pcs per carton.

I don't know anything about their feeding or lifestyle yet, I'm still trying to see how it'll be. but finishing a 25kg feed in two days?? that's disastrous. I learnt that a full matured ostrich weighs about 100-150kg or even more

my mode of rearing will just be in cage till around 1½ month and leave them on free range

Ostrich on a free range hope u understand the size of bird in question
It will be better u raise turkeys than planing ostrich on a free range

hmmmmm.. that's why I need some inputs and experience from anyone who has reared them before
