    1. In Gatanga, Gakurari, connecting with bulk buyers and securing contracts for broiler chicks involves networking with local poultry markets, cooperatives, and agribusinesses. Engaging with local agricultural cooperatives can provide access to bulk buyers and contract opportunities. Additionally, platforms like go4WorldBusiness list Kenyan meat and poultry buyers seeking suppliers.

      Regarding optimal numbers for contract farming, broiler production facilities typically range from 20,000 to 25,000 square feet, accommodating a significant number of birds. The specific number of chicks required can vary based on the contract terms and the capacity of your facilities
