Thank you very much for your quick response. I really appreciate you for taking time to explain in detail. All your points are valid! I live in Asia, travel around on a rural consultation job (my bread and butter). Spare time help marginal farmers who are trying to meet ends (according to my...

Thank you very much for the quick response. I have 3 more months before introducing the chicken to this farm. 1 of the several models I am creating for training purpose. The coop is not complete, yet. The farm was abandoned for 2 decades. Infested with Rats, Snakes, Mongoose, Jackal and wild...

Enjoy! Only people who experienced the joy of backyard Poultry can relate well. As some of friends without a garden, chicken and aquarium are confused our excitement. Keep adding, all the best !

2 I could identify, mostly for meat purposes, they had Muscovy ducks and chickens as well. Midget white and Black turkey.

Standard bronze and Midget white are the 2 breeds I am familiar and saw in that farm. There were Muscovy ducks also. Now I keep only R.I.R chicken

I am practicing it for a few years now. The local dry fish shop sells the scraps, we get corn grounded in the neighborhood mill. Of course kitchen vegetable scrap and sweet potato leaves from the garden act as fillers. For calcium supplement, Lime powder is mixed with water and left to settle...
