or eat the eggs!.. they make really good pickled eggs as well as being used in gourmet cooking!

I really like the green netting!  Is that something specific to the island or did you take it in?  Everything just looks GREAT!  And thank you again for sharing your adventure.

I also vaccinated them for mareks and will put NCD vaccine in their water next week. I will wait to do pox vaccination until I get back as it requires dome technique. I would hate to he wiped outburst a preventable illness.

I have added blue egg makers to the list. I am in discussion with a local OC batorholic that is doing a autosexong project with creme legbars. I will try to get some EE as well.

So many breeds and such a small golf bag.

Yes. Its name is Mt Kanlaon. Its active but has not erupted in many years. There are a few volcanos in the North of the island that puff steam and ash every now and then.

We have earthquakes, typhoons (hurricanes) and volcanos. We are protected from tsunamis though. Oh...... and snow is unheard of.
