Chapter 45 – The Logistics of Chicks and Supplies
On the day of their first hatching, the chicks were fragile and needed quick care. That's when Fito came into the picture with his adapted motorbike. He prepared ventilated transport boxes, lined with straw at the bottom, to take the chicks from Hamza's incubator to Beto's backyard.
The route seemed simple, but it was crucial: without logistics, the cycle wouldn't move forward. Fito drove carefully, ensuring the chicks arrived safely. Upon delivering them, Beto smiled:
"Now my work begins."“
But Fito's role didn't stop there. He used every trip to bring laying hen feed for Salimo, bags of bran for Beto's yard, and even basic medications recommended by the PROSPERAR program. He became the invisible, yet essential, link that ensured nothing was lacking.
Gradually, neighbors began to realize: it wasn't just poultry farming, it was an organized network where even the logistics were professionalized. Fito felt proud: he didn't raise chickens, but he was part of the machinery that gave life to the business.
A practical lesson for the young reader: all production needs logistics. Those who organize the transportation of supplies and products find a business niche as valuable as creating it.
You Can: The bird may be born in the backyard, but without logistics it won't reach the market.
