If you keep poultry in Cape Coast or anywhere in the Central Region, Agro Prime Ghana supplies healthy, vaccinated day-old chicks — layers and broilers — point-of-lay (POL) pullets, and quality feed, delivered from our Kasoa hatchery along the same coastal road that links us to Oguaa. Cape Coast is a historic fishing and university town with a steady flow of students, hotels and tourists visiting the Castle, Elmina and Kakum — all of which eat a lot of eggs and chicken, which makes a well-run layer or broiler flock genuinely worthwhile here. Because we sit just east of you near Accra, Cape Coast is one of our more straightforward deliveries. Whether you want layers for a dependable egg business, POL pullets to reach first eggs fast, or broilers for the meat trade, the quickest way to start is a WhatsApp message — we confirm stock, a delivery plan to your area, and today's price before you commit.
From the Agro Prime Ghana team — a working hatchery in Kasoa supplying day-old chicks, point-of-lay pullets and feed across Ghana. Last updated October 2025.
Quick answer
Agro Prime Ghana sells vaccinated day-old layer and broiler chicks, point-of-lay pullets and poultry feed, and delivers to Cape Coast and the Central Region from our Kasoa hatchery. We do not run a shop in Cape Coast — we supply the birds and arrange transport along the coastal road. To order, message WhatsApp (+233 24 915 1503) with your location, the breed and quantity, and your target date; we confirm availability, a delivery plan and the current price. You are also welcome to book a visit to the hatchery.
What Agro Prime supplies to Cape Coast farmers
- Day-old layer chicks — brown-egg layers for a steady egg business selling to Kotokuraba market, the university community, hotels and the many chop bars and restaurants that serve visitors.
- Point-of-lay (POL) pullets — near-ready layers at roughly 16–18 weeks, for buyers who want eggs within weeks instead of brooding from day one.
- Day-old broiler chicks — fast-growing meat strains (Cobb and Ross) for the fresh-chicken trade around Abura, Pedu and the coastal towns.
- Poultry feed — chick starter/mash, grower, layer and finisher feed so your birds never go a day without the right ration.
Cape Coast has a particularly strong case for eggs. The University of Cape Coast and nearby campuses bring thousands of students who eat eggs daily; the tourism trade around Cape Coast Castle, Elmina and Kakum National Park keeps hotels and restaurants busy; and fresh local eggs beat trucked-in supply on both freshness and price. Nationally the room to grow is huge — the USDA Foreign Agricultural Service reports Ghana imported on the order of 350,000 metric tonnes of chicken in 2021 against only about 50,000 tonnes produced locally, noting that consumption "continues to outstrip the domestic supply." Eggs, meanwhile, are mostly produced at home — so a Central Region layer farm is filling real local demand.
How many eggs can you expect? Breed matters
If eggs are your business, the breed you start with largely sets your ceiling. Improved commercial layers lay several times as many eggs in a cycle as an unimproved local hen, which is why serious egg farmers use strains like the Lohmann Brown. The chart below shows the difference clearly.
A commercial brown layer can lay in the region of 300-plus eggs over a laying cycle, according to breeder performance data from Lohmann Breeders, far more than a typical indigenous hen. Our Lohmann Brown layer guide and layer feeding guide explain how to feed and manage a flock to reach and hold that output.
Choosing the right product for your goal
How you enter the egg business — or whether you go for meat instead — depends on how fast you need income and how much brooding you want to take on.
| Product | Best for | Time to income | Notes for Cape Coast buyers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Layer day-old chicks | Lowest-cost route into eggs | ~18–20 weeks to first eggs | Cheapest per bird, but you brood and feed for months first. |
| Point-of-lay pullets | Egg sellers who want a fast start | Eggs within weeks | Costs more per bird but skips brooding — great for supplying hotels and the university quickly. |
| Broiler day-old chicks | Meat sales & festive demand | ~6–8 weeks to market weight | Fast cash; time harvests around holidays and tourist peaks. |
| Cockerels | Hardy free-range-style meat | Several months | Tougher, slower birds that sell well at local markets. |

Delivery and transport from Kasoa to Cape Coast
Agro Prime is based in Kasoa, just west of Accra — we do not have a branch or outlet in Cape Coast, so be wary of anyone claiming to be "Agro Prime Cape Coast." The good news is that Cape Coast sits on the same Accra–Winneba–Cape Coast coastal road, so it is one of our more straightforward and quicker deliveries compared with destinations far inland or up north. Day-old chicks travel well in their first 48–72 hours because they live off the residual yolk — the reason hatcheries ship them at a day old — and we pack them in ventilated chick boxes to keep them warm and calm on the way. Because the exact cost depends on your order and timing, we confirm the delivery arrangement and any charge when you message us, rather than quoting a figure we cannot stand behind. If you would prefer to collect, pickup at the hatchery is easy from the Central Region. See our delivery guide for how it works. If you are closer to the coast's edges, our Winneba and Takoradi pages may be nearer your route.
What to prepare before your chicks arrive
- A clean, draught-free brooder with a reliable heat source used safely.
- Clean dry litter such as wood shavings — important in Cape Coast's humid coastal air.
- Chick drinkers and feeders, and clean water with a little glucose for the first hours.
- Chick starter feed / mash ready on arrival — order it with your chicks.
Our brooding guide and brooder temperature chart give the exact temperatures to run week by week. Good ventilation and dry litter matter especially in the humid coastal climate.
Honest pricing guidance
We will not post a fixed price list on this page, because chick, pullet and feed prices move with breed, season, order size and input costs — and a stale figure would not serve you. Day-old layer and broiler chicks are the most affordable start; POL pullets cost more per bird because the farm has already carried about four months of rearing cost. The honest approach is to message us for today's price on WhatsApp, tell us your quantity, and we will give you a real, current quote. If a price looks far below the market, be cautious — unusually cheap chicks often mean unvaccinated or poorly handled birds that cost far more in losses later.
Why buy from a working hatchery
Plenty of traders resell chicks of unknown origin. Agro Prime hatches, raises and vaccinates its own birds in Kasoa, so we can tell you the breed, hatch date and vaccination status honestly — and back it with practical advice on brooding, feeding and running a flock in coastal conditions. For anyone looking to scale a commercial egg or broiler farm, or to invest in poultry without running it themselves, see our partner and invest page.

The bottom line
Cape Coast's students, hotels and tourist trade make it one of the Central Region's best markets for fresh eggs and chicken, and Ghana's heavy reliance on imported meat leaves room to grow. Agro Prime supplies vaccinated day-old chicks, POL pullets and feed from a hatchery that stands behind its birds, with easy coastal-road delivery and honest pricing confirmed at order time. Decide what you want to raise, get your brooder ready, and send us a message.
