Commercial Poultry Farm Projects in Kenya
Commercial broiler and layer expansion with feed, water and power reliability at the centre.
Direct answer
A 100,000-bird automated broiler project in Kenya needs about 4 houses of 25,000 birds (14 m × 132 m each, 7,407 m² total), roughly 2,375 t of feed per year, 35.5 m³ of water per peak day, and an indicative CAPEX of $1.26M – $2.19M. Design conditions used: 31 °C dry-bulb, 22 °C wet-bulb, 12 °C winter minimum.
- — Highland sites are mild — full tunnel cooling is often unnecessary above 1,800 m.
- — Solar for pumps, lighting and controllers has a real payback here.
- — Feed cost volatility dominates the ROI sensitivity.

Kenya poultry project FAQ
How much does a 100,000-bird broiler farm cost in Kenya?
Indicative CAPEX is $1.26M – $2.19M for an automated closed-house project, about $12.6–$21.8 per bird including a 1.15 landed-cost index for Kenya. Land, permits, working capital and live birds are excluded. Class-4 estimate, ±30%.
How many poultry houses are needed for 100,000 broilers in Kenya?
About 4 houses of roughly 25,000 birds each, sized at 14 m × 132 m (1,852 m² per house, 7,407 m² total) at the density this climate supports.
What ventilation and climate system suits Kenya?
With 31 °C dry-bulb against 22 °C wet-bulb, evaporative cooling delivers only a limited temperature drop. Air velocity over the birds, inlet control and litter moisture management carry most of the work.
How much feed and water does the project need in Kenya?
About 2,375 tonnes of feed per year and 35.5 m³ of water per peak day including cooling demand. Feed storage should cover 5 days of peak consumption.
Is backup power necessary for a poultry farm in Kenya?
Grid reliability here is rated fair. Assume the farm runs on generator for a material share of the year and budget fuel accordingly; solar can offset lighting, pumps and controllers but never replaces backup power.
Can HatchMatch help finance a poultry project in Kenya?
Qualified commercial projects can be introduced to independent third-party financing partners. Financing is subject to their approval — HatchMatch does not provide credit and does not guarantee approval.
