This is a nostalgic discussion thread where users reminisce about the scarcity of Plymouth Rock chickens in modern Nigeria compared to the past. The conversation shifts from personal memories to a technical comparison of breeds, with one user providing a detailed breakdown of why White Cockerels and Broilers have replaced the traditional black birds due to feed costs and market demand. The thread ends with a debate on the prevalence of GMO feed and seeds in the current agricultural landscape.

This page is a nostalgic discussion about the decline of the Plymouth Rock chicken breed in Nigeria, sparked by a user asking when they were last seen. The thread features multiple users sharing memories, debating the reasons for the breed's disappearance (citing feed costs, slower growth compared to broilers/noilers, and disease), and discussing broader agricultural topics like GMOs and government policy. While some users offer technical details on broiler economics, the conversation remains largely anecdotal and conversational rather than a structured market listing or tutorial.
Credibility signals:
citing personal farming history ('trained quite a lot of them while growing up')referencing specific locations ('saw it yesterday at Akai efa Calabar')detailed technical explanation of feed conversion rates and market pricing logic by 'safarifarms'
“It's more expensive to breed. They are gotten from producing black layers, which yield is lesser than the brown layers, hatcheries have to factor in the cost on the male because of lower demand for the female”
“Bird flu time don kpai Dem finish that year”
“Since APC made the economy bad from 2015, and ebilokan made it even worse from 2023, this specie has moved on with APC's extreme poverty replacement of PDP prosperity.”

This thread is a nostalgic discussion about the scarcity of black Plymouth Rock chickens in Nigeria, contrasting them with modern commercial 'Agribirds' and 'Noilers'. Participants share technical knowledge regarding breeding traits, growth rates, and the unreliability of commercial birds for brooding, while expressing sadness over the loss of traditional poultry varieties.

“There are no more black cockrels in our country what is the reason”
“Those were the real symbols of Christmas back then. When men were boys . What a nice nostalgia”
“Most of these birds (so called Agric birds) have been bred to loose broodiness so that they lay more eggs. So noiler is not reliable for sitting on eggs.”
