For day-old chicks in Ho and across the Volta Region, Agro Prime Ghana supplies healthy layer and broiler chicks, point-of-lay (POL) pullets and quality feed, and arranges delivery from our hatchery in Kasoa. You order on WhatsApp, we confirm the breed and a delivery plan to Ho, Hohoe, Kpando or your town, and your birds travel in ventilated chick boxes ready to brood. Ho — the Volta Regional capital — sits in a part of Ghana with real appetite for backyard and small-commercial poultry: the region's own authorities have pushed home egg production through programmes aimed at getting more households keeping laying birds. Whether you want layers for a steady egg income, broilers for festive sales, or POL pullets to start earning fast, the honest first step is to message us for the breeds we have ready and a current quote — and to plan delivery early, because Ho is a longer run from Kasoa than the coastal towns.
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
We sell day-old layer chicks, point-of-lay pullets (16–18 weeks, almost laying), day-old broiler chicks, cockerels, and starter/grower/layer feed. This suits Volta Region households and farmers who want eggs for home and market, or meat birds for income. To order, message us on WhatsApp (+233 24 915 1503) with your breed, quantity and delivery town; we confirm availability, a current price and a delivery plan to Ho before you pay. We are based in Kasoa and arrange transport to the Volta Region — because it's a longer trip, plan a few days ahead and we'll confirm cost and timing for your location.
Ho, the Volta Region and why layers make sense here
Ho is the administrative heart of the Volta Region, a green, agricultural belt stretching from the Akosombo lake lands down toward Aflao on the Togo border. The region grows rice, cassava, maize and vegetables, and keeps livestock widely — so backyard and small-commercial poultry fit naturally into how many households already farm. Local authorities have actively encouraged home egg production: initiatives such as the "Nkokɔ Nkitinkiti" backyard poultry push, reported as launched in Ho to boost poultry farming, aim to get more families keeping a few laying hens for nutrition and income. That is exactly the kind of demand good layer chicks and POL pullets are built for.
Eggs are also a smart product for Volta farmers because they sell steadily all year, not just at festivals. A well-managed brown layer can produce around 300–320 eggs in her first laying cycle under good conditions, according to the Lohmann Breeders management guide — a world away from the 60–80 eggs a typical free-range local hen gives in a year. That productivity gap is why farmers who want real egg income choose improved layer breeds and feed them properly.
| What we supply | What it is | Time to income | Best for a Volta farmer who… |
|---|---|---|---|
| Layer day-old chicks | Egg-laying pullets raised from day one | ~18–20 weeks to first eggs | wants the lowest cost per bird and will brood carefully for an egg business |
| Point-of-lay pullets | Grown layers, ~16–18 weeks, about to lay | Eggs within a few weeks | wants egg income fast and prefers to skip brooding |
| Broiler day-old chicks | Fast-growing meat birds | ~6–8 weeks to market | wants quick cash or festive/Christmas meat sales |
| Cockerels | Hardy birds for meat / free-range | ~12–16 weeks+ | keeps birds semi-free-range for the live-bird market |
| Feed | Chick/starter, grower and layer rations | Ongoing | wants feed matched to the birds and the laying stage |
How to order day-old chicks for Ho
Ordering is simple, and we confirm everything before you pay:
- Message us on WhatsApp (+233 24 915 1503) with your breed (layer, POL, broiler or cockerel), quantity, delivery town (Ho, Hohoe, Kpando, Sokode, etc.) and preferred week.
- We confirm availability and a current price. Chicks hatch on a schedule, and because Ho is a longer trip, ordering early gives you the best choice of breed and date.
- We agree a delivery plan. You can collect from Kasoa, or we arrange transport toward the Volta Region; we confirm the cost and timing for your exact town.
- You confirm, we dispatch. Birds travel in ventilated boxes, and we tell you how to receive and settle them so they start strong.
First time? Read our guides on choosing healthy day-old chicks and brooding in Ghana before the birds arrive.
Starting an egg business in the Volta Region?
Tell us how many layers you can brood and whether you want day-old chicks or ready-to-lay pullets, and we'll recommend a breed, quote layer feed alongside the birds, and plan delivery to Ho. If you'd rather earn eggs within weeks than wait out the brooding stage, ask about point-of-lay pullets. Start on WhatsApp (+233 24 915 1503) or book a visit to the Kasoa hatchery.
Delivery and transport to the Volta Region
Let's be honest about geography: Agro Prime is based in Kasoa, and we do not have a branch, shop or outlet in Ho or anywhere in the Volta Region. Ho is one of the longer runs from Kasoa — the route goes through Accra and down the Sogakope/Adidome side or via Akosombo — so this is the kind of order that rewards planning. What we do is supply and arrange delivery of chicks, pullets and feed to Ho and the wider region. Because the trip is longer, we take extra care with packing and timing to keep live birds comfortable, and for POL pullets and larger orders we'll agree collection points and a schedule that works. We always confirm the exact delivery cost and timing for your town when you message — we won't quote a number we can't stand behind. See our day-old chick delivery guide for how safe transport works.
What to prepare before your chicks arrive
The first week decides the batch. Set the brooder up before delivery day:
- A clean, draught-free brooder with dry wood-shaving litter and a chick guard around the heat.
- A steady heat source holding about 32–35°C in week one, lowered each week — our brooder temperature chart gives the targets.
- Clean drinkers (add glucose/vitamins for the first hours after a long trip) and the right chick starter in the feeders.
- A backup for power — layers and broilers both chill fast if heat fails overnight.
Our brooding guide covers the full first-week routine, which matters even more after the longer journey to Ho.
Choosing the right breed for your goal
Match the bird to what you want to sell:
- Layers (e.g. Lohmann Brown type) — bred for eggs, laying steadily for a year or more once mature. The best fit for the Volta Region's year-round egg demand. See the Lohmann Brown layer guide.
- Point-of-lay pullets — the fast route to eggs; you skip the risky brooding months.
- Broilers (Cobb 500 / Ross 308 type) — fast meat birds for quick cash and festive sales. See the Cobb 500 guide.
- Cockerels — hardy, cheaper to keep, good for semi-free-range systems.

Honest pricing guidance
We don't publish a fixed price list, because chick and feed prices in Ghana shift with breed, season, order size and feed costs — a figure typed today could mislead you next month. Honestly: layer chicks, broiler chicks, cockerels and POL pullets are all priced differently, and POL pullets cost more per bird than day-old chicks because months of feed and care are already in them. The reliable way to get a real number is to message us on WhatsApp for today's price. And be wary of unusually cheap chicks — weak or unvaccinated stock costs far more in losses than it saves. For budgeting, our layer feeding and broiler feeding guides show that feed, not the chicks, is where most of your money goes.
Why buy from a working hatchery
Many people resell chicks; far fewer actually hatch them. Buying from a working Kasoa hatchery means a known source, correct handling from hatch, and vaccination available at the hatchery (tell us your needs when you order). You also get practical advice from people who raise birds — on breed, brooding, feed and the mistakes that sink a first flock. Thinking beyond one batch? Ask about our partner and investment options.
The bottom line
With active local support for home egg production and steady year-round demand, Ho and the Volta Region are a sound place to raise layers — and broilers for festive income. Agro Prime supplies the healthy chicks, pullets, feed and advice; plan delivery early because of the distance, and message us for current availability and an honest quote.
