Totoo. I haven't kept one beyond 6-7 weeks myself but I read stories from a lot of people that even raised them long after they were laying eggs. How far is Cebu from Negros Occidental? Coco Poultry Farms is in Negros Occidental and they sell most of the same standard breed manuk we have here in...

Contrary to what a lot of people believe broilers can live about as long as a regular chicken; there's nothing in their DNA that says they have to check out at any particular time. The fastest growing broilers, the Cornish Crosses run into health problems because they put on weight much to fast...

Can't say 100% since there are other white varieties that look similar but it looks an awful lot like a Cornish Cross broiler. You'll know if she eats like she's starving, never seems to get full, and gains about a pound a week. They call them 45 day chicks up in Tarlac. I looked up the...

I've never seen a Kabir but from what I've read they are large so I guess they might be dual purpose. I don't believe they are broilers in the sense of 45 Day chicks (Cornish Crosses) back in the Philippines. I haven't heard of a Vantress. I hear a lot about "native" manuk from my relatives but...

Yeah man - that would be outstanding. I will certainly do that. I have you in my speed dial now for post-retirement chicken emergencies so don't move anywhere. Thanks, I really do appreciate it. Gene

Thanks much Sonny - very much appreciated. We won't be retiring for a couple of years yet but I want to get all my ducks (or rather chickens) in a row for when we go. I'm really looking forward to raising birds there. Thanks again. Gene

My wife and I are considering retiring in Pampanga in a few years and I'd like to know if there are any hatcheries that sell a variety of heritage breed like there are in the states, such as Murray McMurry, etc. Our relatives raise Labuyo's so we can start breeding with them but I'd also like to...

Yes it does - thanks very much. I'll consult with my instructor and the adjunct instructors (her family here in AZ) and we'll see if we can track any of those down here. It'll be interesting to find out. Thanks again for your help. Gene

Hey there Jim, We don't live there but my wife still has a lot of family there and we visit from time to time. Thanks for the info - I'll check it out. Gene

Welcome aboard rhythmwhipsers. Ang asawa ko is from Capas, Tarlac (kapampangan) and we're just starting our first flock here in Arizona. She's had a lot of experience raising birds in the Philippines so she's been my instructor. Since getting involved raising the chicks we have I've been trying...
