Kudos for jumping in with both feet!

They hang out under the lights at night and eat bugs that fall

The gekos get the bugs on the ceiling .

They also lay well so if you always have 4 hens and a roo you will always have eggs to eat, feed back to them for protien and calcuium and to hatch whenever you want more birds.In 10 days you can get at least 30 eggs so you could hatch a new meat supply from your few little birds every 10 days if you wanted to.

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.

Just let me know when to start building your coop.... I mean house.

 

Seriously though - if anyone is adventurous enough to come and play with chickens and watch a sunrise, I will have a cold San Miguel beer waiting.

I would love to visit I have only been out of the country to Jamaca and that was an experience as a "vacationer", one I disliked until the last day we had a wonderful local plan our agenda for the day! Nothing like visiting a place and enjoying and seeing everday life, bad and good, amazing and sad. The behind the vacationer walls the market was AMAZING so much creativity and art, lovely fruits and oh their is nothing like a fresh cut pc of sugar cane to suck on! It was a good day that day, we visiited areas that were all just for normal locals and didnt have people begging to braid our hair so we could be a perfect 10! 

 

The scuba/snork pics are awesome!

 

oh and I will take a coconut instead of a beer any day

 

What other adventures have you pondered to help feed everyone? What else does Bernie garden?

 

Chickens......what you do for nest bedding & for floors down there? sand and ?

I love them anyway.. the evil toads that like to nip toes plus the geckos. 

We used to have a "pet" toad that would eat mice. And your fingers if you weren't careful!
