Day-Old Chicks in Madina: Broilers, Layers & Pullets

If you are in Madina and looking for day-old chicks, Agro Prime Ghana supplies vaccinated day-old broiler and layer chicks, point-of-lay pullets and poultry feed from our working hatchery in Kasoa, and we arrange delivery to Madina and the wider Accra suburbs. You order by WhatsApp, we confirm the breed, the hatch date and the delivery terms, and the birds come to you from Kasoa. Madina is a large residential suburb on the Accra side of the metropolis, with a population that runs into the hundreds of thousands across its district. That scale means real demand for eggs and meat. Start with strong chicks from a hatchery that stands behind them, and message us or book a visit to plan your batch.

What Madina buyers can get from us

Madina is the main town of the La Nkwantanang Madina Municipal District, in the Greater Accra Region. The 2021 census gave the district a population of 244,676, and the municipality covers about 71 square kilometres. It is a residential suburb on the Accra side of the metropolis, and it has a busy market of its own. For a poultry buyer, that combination of household demand and local trade is what matters.

From the Kasoa hatchery, the products we supply to Madina buyers are:

• Day-old broiler chicks (Cobb 500, Ross 308 and similar) for meat. A broiler batch takes around six weeks to reach market weight on good feed, so it suits a buyer who wants a quick, predictable return.
• Day-old layer chicks for an egg flock built from the start. They cost least per bird, but they need around 18 to 20 weeks before they lay.
• Point-of-lay pullets for eggs within weeks of arrival, which suits a buyer who wants income sooner and less rearing work.

Feed can be added to your order; see our store.

Why Madina matters to a poultry buyer

Ghana's chicken market is large, and most of it is not produced locally. The USDA Foreign Agricultural Service report on Ghana's poultry sector (GAIN GH2021-0010, 25 January 2022) estimated national chicken consumption at about 400,000 metric tonnes in 2021 and domestic production at about 50,000 tonnes. The gap was filled mainly by imports. A later USDA-based summary, reported in February 2025, put local production at about 60,000 tonnes in 2023, which the same summary described as around 18 per cent of consumption. Whichever year you read, the message for a Madina buyer is the same: there is room for fresh, locally raised eggs and birds, and buyers near the city want them.

The chart below shows a commercial broiler's target growth curve, so you can tell early whether your birds are on track.

How to order for delivery to Madina

Our hatchery is in Kasoa, so every Madina order starts with a short message. That gives us time to plan the hatch and the transport:

• 1. Message us on WhatsApp (+233 24 915 1503) and say you want delivery to Madina. Give your part of the suburb if you can.
• 2. Give us the details: breed or product, number of birds, and the date you want them.
• 3. We confirm the next available stock or hatch, today's price, and the delivery arrangement and timing to Madina.
• 4. Reserve and pay once you agree the terms. The price is settled before the birds leave.
• 5. Receive your birds at the agreed point, with a warm brooder ready for them.

Chicks hatch in batches, so a few days' notice lets us reserve your breed and numbers, and festive periods are busy.

Delivery from Kasoa to Madina

We arrange transport from the Kasoa hatchery to Madina and the Accra suburbs around it. The honest picture is this: the route from Kasoa runs through Accra, and traffic on those roads varies a great deal from day to day. We do not promise a fixed delivery time or a set delivery price here, because both depend on the traffic, the size of your order and the day it travels. When you message us, we will confirm the delivery terms for your area, including the expected timing and the cost, before we load the birds.

Chicks need care in transit: ventilated boxes, kept cool and dry, and a warm brooder as soon as possible. Our chick delivery guide explains what to check when your birds arrive, including their condition and how to settle them. If you would rather collect, the hatchery in Kasoa is open to visits, and booking a visit is the simplest way to see the birds before you decide.

If you want to visit in person, book ahead so we can have the stock ready to show you and plan the trip around the traffic.

Preparing a brooder in a suburban yard

Most Madina buyers keep birds in a yard, a backyard shed or a small pen, not in a large open farm. That makes space, ventilation and protection the three things to get right:

• Space: a brooder large enough to hold the batch with room to spread, and a brooder ring to keep the chicks near the heat in the first days.
• Heat: a tested heat source (gas brooder, heat lamp or bulbs) holding the right temperature before the birds arrive.
• Protection: secure against rodents, cats, dogs and wild birds, and ventilated without draughts.
• Water and feed: clean drinkers with fresh water and starter feed ready from the first hour.

Our brooding guide and brooder temperature chart give the week-by-week temperatures.

Choosing the right breed

For meat, the Cobb 500 and Ross 308 are the leading commercial broilers. The chart above uses Cobb's published target weights. Our Cobb 500 guide and Ross 308 guide cover the detail.

For eggs, a brown layer such as Lohmann Brown is a well-suited choice for Ghana conditions, and our Lohmann Brown guide explains the rearing and laying stages. Dual-purpose birds suit a semi-free-range yard; our best chicken breeds for Ghana guide compares the choices.

Honest pricing guidance

We do not print a fixed price on this page. Day-old chick, pullet and feed prices move with breed, season, order size and the cost of feed, and feed is the biggest single factor. The USDA report cited above puts feeding costs at almost 80 per cent of total production costs in Ghana, so a feed price change feeds straight into the price of your birds and your eggs.

To get a useful quote, tell us the breed or product, the number of birds, the stage you want (chicks, growers or point-of-lay), the feed you need alongside them, and your delivery area in Madina. We will send you today's price and delivery terms on WhatsApp. That is more reliable than any figure printed on a page.

Why buy from a working hatchery

A working hatchery gives you traceable birds. You know where your chicks came from, how they were handled from hatch, and that they are vaccinated, with a vaccination schedule we will advise on for after they reach you. You also get direct access to people who raise these birds daily.

For buyers who want to build on a first batch, our broiler feeding guide and layer feeding guide set out what your birds need at each stage. Our Kasoa page describes the hatchery and how to visit, and our Accra page covers the wider city market that Madina sits within. Buyers planning a larger operation can also read our partner and invest page.

The bottom line

Madina is a large, busy suburb with a real need for eggs and meat, and it suits a small home flock as well as a growing batch. Agro Prime Ghana supplies vaccinated day-old broiler and layer chicks, point-of-lay pullets and feed from our Kasoa hatchery, and we arrange delivery to Madina. Message us on WhatsApp for today's price and delivery terms, or book a visit to see the birds first.
