Ross 308 Chicks for Sale in Ghana: Buy Broiler Chicks from Kasoa

You can buy Ross 308 broiler chicks from Agro Prime Ghana, a working poultry hatchery in Kasoa that supplies day-old chicks, point-of-lay pullets and feed to farmers across Ghana. Message us on WhatsApp to confirm which broiler strain is in the current hatch, what day-old stock we can offer on your date, and what delivery to your town would involve. Ross 308 is a widely used commercial broiler line, and it suits a farmer whose priority is fast, efficient meat growth. Before you buy, it helps to know what the strain is designed to do, how to read its published targets, and what has to be ready when the chicks arrive. This guide uses the breeder's own performance figures, so you can judge a batch against a real benchmark rather than a sales claim.

What Ross 308 is built for

Ross 308 is a broiler, bred for meat rather than eggs. Its appeal is rapid weight gain on a well-managed feed budget. Breeders publish performance objectives so farmers can measure a flock against a benchmark, and that is the most useful way to read any strain: not by name alone, but by the weight the birds should reach at each age and how much feed it takes to put that weight on. Our Ross 308 broiler guide covers the strain in more depth.

Two terms matter when you read those tables. As-hatched weight is measured on the farm, so it includes feed still in the gut, which is why it differs from carcass weight. Cumulative FCR (feed conversion ratio) is kilograms of feed eaten per kilogram of live weight gained. A lower number means less feed per kilo of meat. The breeder's FCR includes the chick's placement weight and does not adjust for mortality, so losses on your farm will push your real-world FCR above the table.

The Aviagen 2022 as-hatched table shows the Ross 308 at 533 g on day 14, 1,012 g on day 21, 1,616 g on day 28 and 2,296 g on day 35. The cumulative FCR over the same ages is 1.005, 1.142, 1.269 and 1.399. The same table runs on to 4,318 g at day 56. These are targets from a breeder document, not a guarantee for any particular flock. Feed quality, water, brooding, vaccination, disease and the conditions in your shed all shift the result, so treat the numbers as a yardstick for your own weekly weighing.

Which broiler option fits your plan

Before committing, compare the options you are actually choosing between. The table below sets out the main routes a buyer takes, with the reference point for each where we can verify one.

Ross 308 or another broiler? How to choose

Fast broiler strains can all be grown well, and the real difference often lies in the detail of your plan. Start from the end: the market weight you need, the age you intend to sell, and what your buyers ask for. Then check the feed cost per kilo of gain, because a strain that grows quickly but eats heavily can cost more than a slightly slower one. Finally, check what the hatchery has available on the date you need the birds. Our guide to the best chicken breeds in Ghana sets out how the main meat and egg types compare, which helps when you are deciding between a strain and a different kind of bird altogether.

The practical advice is simple. Do not choose from a brand name alone. Tell us your target weight, your sale age and your date, and we will say which strain fits and whether it is in the hatch that week.

How to order Ross 308 chicks from Agro Prime

Ordering is a short conversation on WhatsApp. This is the order we follow:

• 1. Tell us what you need. Send the number of birds, the date you want them, your town, and whether you want broilers only or a mix.
• 2. We confirm the stock. We tell you which strain is in the current hatch and whether it matches your request. If Ross 308 is not available on your date, we will say so and discuss the closest option.
• 3. We quote and confirm delivery. You receive a price for the chicks, plus a clear delivery cost and timing for your location, before you commit.
• 4. Reserve and pay. Agree the payment terms in writing on WhatsApp before we hold birds for you.
• 5. Check the chicks on arrival. Inspect the birds when they come, and tell us straight away if something is wrong.

Strain identity: what we can and cannot confirm online

We can explain the published Ross 308 targets, but the strain in a given hatch depends on what the hatchery is receiving and setting that week. For that reason, this page does not claim a fixed stock line. Before you pay, ask us to confirm in writing the strain and hatch date, the vaccination status and programme of the batch, and how losses in transit are handled. A good supplier answers those questions plainly. If an answer is vague, ask again, or take your order elsewhere.

Feeding and management that protect the Ross 308 targets

A fast broiler reaches its targets only if the basics are right. Feed is the biggest cost in the enterprise, so small losses matter. Use starter feed in the early weeks, step up to grower feed as the chicks grow, and never let feed or clean water run out. Spillage and waste push your real FCR up, and so do disease and poor brooding. Our broiler feeding guide sets out the feed stages in more detail.

Keep records from the first day. A few weekly weigh-ins and a simple log of feed used tell you early whether the flock is tracking the breeder's curve. If it falls behind, you can act while there is still time to correct it, rather than discovering the gap at sale.

Delivery across Ghana and what to prepare

We supply from our Kasoa hatchery and arrange transport to customers across Ghana. Delivery cost and timing depend on your location and the size of the order, so we confirm both when you message us rather than guessing from a general rate. For buyers in and around Kasoa, collection or a short run is the simplest option.

Whatever the distance, have the brooder ready before the chicks arrive. It should be clean and disinfected, warm, with clean water and starter feed set out, and you should plan to check the birds soon after they arrive. A chick that arrives to a prepared brooder settles faster and feeds sooner, which gives the Ross 308 targets the best start.

Pricing: what we can and cannot tell you online

We have not found a verified, dated public price for day-old Ross 308 chicks in Ghana that we could quote honestly, so this page does not give a figure, and we will not invent one. Chick prices vary with breed, season, the week's hatch and the size of your order. Message us on WhatsApp for a current quote. When you compare quotes from any supplier, check what each one includes: the strain, the vaccination, the delivery and the policy on losses.

Bottom line

Ross 308 is a fast-growing broiler strain with published targets you can measure your flock against: about 2.3 kg at day 35 and a feed conversion near 1.40 in the breeder's as-hatched table. Buy it on the basis of your target weight, your sale age and what the hatchery has on your date, not on the name alone. Confirm the strain, vaccination and delivery before you pay. If you plan to run a larger broiler unit over time, our partner and invest page explains how that can work.
