A Quiet Night Turns Strange
Niss had just sold off her first batch of ex-layers.
It had been a successful run — her birds maintained an impressive 80% laying rate the entire period. For a first-time farmer, that was nothing short of amazing.
Now, she was taking a one-month break before bringing in her next batch. The chicken house needed time to dry after disinfection — an essential step to prevent disease transmission to new chicks.
But that also meant no income for a whole month.
She didn’t have enough savings to build another chicken house.
And for a moment, she wondered, What will I do now?
Voices In The Dark
That night, around midnight, Niss was woken by faint voices outside her house.
A woman’s voice.
It sounded like she was talking to herself.
“Is that the village witch?” Niss thought, half terrified.
She sprang out of bed and crept toward the door.
As she reached the hallway, the voices grew louder — but now there were two people.
Her heart pounded hard, pumping litres of blood to her legs, ready to sprint for her still-short dear life.
Then it hit her.
Wait. That’s coming from my daughters’ room.
She froze. Are they—? She didn’t want to finish that thought.
Listening closer, she realized the voices were indeed her two daughters.
When she asked why they were awake at midnight, their answer confused her even more. Something about a “masterclass” and “techniques” and “digital something.”
Niss didn’t get it — not that night. She went back to bed, uneasy but curious.
The Morning Revelation
By morning, after another round of questioning, she finally understood:
Her daughters had been attending an online masterclass on professional knitting.
That surprised her — but it also sparked a thought.
What if I did the same?
What if she taught others what she already knew so well — layer poultry farming?
She had seen people online making money teaching what they knew. Some even lived lavishly — nice cars, big houses, flashy lifestyles.
Before she could dream too far, her daughters interrupted her thoughts.
> “Mama, stop there,” they said.
“That internet life is a lie. But you can make money from YouTube — not to buy a sports car, but enough to cover slow months like this.”
That was all Niss needed to hear.
“Then show me how,” she said eagerly. “I want to start right now!”
Her daughters laughed.
> “Chill, Mama. Take it slow. Remember how you prepared before starting your layer farm? That’s what you need to do for this too.”
They were right.
Before she started her poultry business, Niss had done months of research — visiting farms, asking questions, taking notes. Skipping that process now would be against her own rules.
She had to learn again — this time, about content creation and online education.
The Turning Point
That morning, Niss made up her mind.
She would teach poultry farming online, just like she raised her chicks — step by step, carefully, consistently.
She would share her knowledge through videos, blog posts, and stories that help other farmers grow.
Maybe it would work. Maybe it wouldn’t.
But she was determined to earn that extra income — while teaching others the craft she loved.
Why Don’t You Try It?
If you’re a farmer, you probably have mountains of knowledge and experience others would love to learn from.
And sometimes, there are slow months — when you’re between flocks, waiting for the next batch, or the market is just quiet.
That’s when creating content can become your second source of income.
You teach, you inspire, and you make a little extra money — all while building your farm into a loveable, trusted brand.
So why not try it yourself?
Start small. Start real.
And remember, every great farm — and every great brand — starts with a single story.
