According to @honeydeecloset who shared the post on TikTok, her husband spent a lot of money rearing the chickens.
Honey said her husband fed the birds with at least four bags of chicken feed every month with each bag costing him N27,000.
However, now that the chickens have grown and he wanted to sell them, he was experiencing low patronage.
She noted that even the customers that were coming offered N10,000 to N15,000, an amount considered too low.
She captioned the clip:
"My husband invested in chicken business for the first time."
