Anastasia Mueni: How I Started With 100 Day-Old Layer Chicks And Ended Up Making Ksh 96,000 Monthly From Egg Sales

In the remote Manyatta village of Mivumoni, located in the heart of Msambweni Sub-County Anastasia Mueni, armed with determination and a mere Ksh100,000 capital from her husband, embarked on a journey that would change not just her life, but also the lives of many in her community.

She dared to dream, and her dream took the shape of a poultry farm.

Starting small, Mueni invested her initial funds in a batch of 100 day-old layer chicks.

With careful nurturing and relentless effort, she turned this modest beginning into a thriving business.

Each success became a stepping stone; she reinvested her profits wisely.

Four Years ago, her farm was home to 520 chickens, a mix of layers and ‘kienyeji’ chicken. What’s truly awe-inspiring is the consistent yield – an impressive 10 crates of eggs daily.

“I collect close to 10 crate of eggs every day with a crate selling at Sh350 and Sh320 to customers buying in large quantities,” she recalled.

But Mueni’s story isn’t just about numbers; it’s about empowerment.

She broke traditional barriers and ventured into a domain often dominated by men.

In a village where opportunities were limited, she created her own.

Her entrepreneurial spirit didn’t stop at poultry farming; it extended to cattle rearing and crop cultivation.

Her eight-acre piece of land, once a simple plot, is now a diversified farm.

Mueni’s success resonated far beyond her farm.

She became a beacon of hope and knowledge for other women in Manyatta village.

Women who once might have hesitated to enter the world of business had a role model in Mueni.

The secret to Mueni’s success lies not just in her ambition, but also in her focus on quality and community.

She concentrated on raising high-quality layers, ensuring a steady supply of eggs that attracted customers not just from nearby areas but also from towns as distant as Mombasa and Ukunda.

Beyond her business, Mueni became a mentor, offering advice and guidance to others aspiring to follow her path. Her farm became a classroom, and her experiences became lessons that inspired others.

Looking ahead, Mueni’s vision was a vast as her fields.

She planned to introduce sustainable practices like growing sorghum to enhance her chicken feed production, ensuring the long-term viability of her farm.
