Taking the First Steps: My Poultry Adventure Begins
I'm Winnie, and I'm just starting my dream of raising Improved Kienyeji chickens! What began as a simple desire to provide fresh, healthy food for my family is now becoming an exciting new adventure. Join me as I learn, grow, and share this journey of building something meaningful from the ground up.
Inside Look
Welcome to oorvex, a growing poultry farm in Kenya dedicated to improved kienyeji poultry farming. We are preparing to receive our first flock of 100 improved kienyeji birds in September 2025 (or early January 2026), marking the start of a sustainable and well-structured poultry business. Our mission is simple: to raise healthy, well-fed birds while building a reliable source of fresh poultry products for families and businesses. By combining traditional free-range methods with modern feeding systems, we ensure our chickens grow strong, produce consistently, and meet the highest standards of quality. At oorvex, we believe in starting small and scaling sustainably. Our plan is to grow in cycles so that our farm develops steadily while maintaining excellent care for every bird. This is the beginning of a journey, but our vision is clear: to become a trusted provider of kienyeji poultry products in Kenya, built on a foundation of patience, planning, and honesty.
The Dream
Started with a dream in 2024 and just got my first 15 Improved Kienyeji chicks! Every day is a new learning experience as I work to provide my family with truly fresh, healthy eggs and meat.
Learning Every Day
Currently diving deep into research about Improved Kienyeji breeds, connecting with experienced farmers, and learning sustainable practices through online courses and local agricultural groups.
Building Community
Already connecting with neighbors who are excited about fresh, local eggs! Planning to start small and grow based on community needs and what I learn along the way.
My Vision & Learning Goals
As I begin this journey, I'm committed to learning the right way to raise healthy, happy chickens while building something meaningful for my family and community.
Animal Welfare
I'm learning to provide my chickens with spacious, natural environments where they can roam freely, access fresh air and sunlight, and express their natural behaviors - just like they should.
Sustainability
I'm studying regenerative farming methods, learning about composting, natural feed options, and how to minimize environmental impact as I grow my small operation.
Quality First
Even as a beginner, I'm committed to never compromising on quality. I'm learning the standards I want to maintain for freshness, nutrition, and taste from day one.
Why Start This Journey With Me?
Learning the Right Way
I'm starting with the highest standards from day one. Learning proper daily care, optimal nutrition, and best practices to ensure the freshest, healthiest products for your family.
