I am living in Panama. I am trying to raise chickens as an economical and delicious way to eat. I have 28 birds of different ages. About 10 are ready for the soup pot now. I processed 4 about 10 days ago. I am ready to process more very soon. Unfortunately I have not kept accurate...

sorry about the double posts. Computer running so slow I didn't know better.

The white cornish X's are messy and get in the way as far as I am concerned. But, they are absolutely delicious when you get them in the pot. I won't raise them again until I get a freezer though. Also, mine got sick a lot. They don't seem to do so good in the heat. But, the ones I had...

I am raising birds for meat purposes. But, I love the look of the big cockerals in the nieghborhood. People have them for trophies it seems like in my neighborhood. Are they beneficial? Some of the cocks I have in my neighborhood are as big as a house! Just kidding. But, since I have so...

I have 17 brownish red yard birds, some 2 months, some 1 month old. I live in Panama and there are many ferrel chickens already in my large yard. My fiancee does not like to let the birds play outside but I believe it is the best for them. She is worried about their safety etc. I know, from...

I am living in Panama and am new to raising chickens. I need chickens to help me live well. I also like birds very much so I can not think of a better occupation. I am very much interested in communicating with anyone who is raising chickens in a tropical environment. It is tough here for...

I have been here for 9 months and have been wondering why I have been eating so much soup. Thanx for that. My fiance is from Columbia and she makes some kind of soup in the morning it seems and it stays on the stove until we go to bed. Whatever is not eaten(which is not much) goes outside to...

I am asking this question because I am living somewhere where the luxories that I used to have are no longer available to me. How did people use their chickens effectively to feed their families when they had no refridgeration? For me, this is a good question because I have only a small fridge...

Thanx for the reply. I am raising chickens in conditions that are not nominal and I don't have a seperate freezer. My fridge is a small unit, I have seen them in RV's etc in the US. I froze 3 yesterday in it without any problems but now it is full. My question was can I introduce 10 new...

Raising meat chickens is a new experience. My goal is to produce my own chickens for the kitchen here in Panama. I have reddish brown broilers(they look like RIR's to me). I have 8 that are 2 months old, 9 that are 1 month old. I am thinking about buying 10 more chicks in the morning and...

I butchered 4 cornish X yesterday and baked one the same day. Yes, it was a little chewy. I called it "texture" when I ate it and said that it was delicious at the time. I will know better next time.

I am newly retired and living in Panama near Los Tablos. I have plenty of room outside and and since there was a chicken coop already on the property I decided to raise chickens. I am new to this hobby but it seems that everyone in my barrio raises chickens and the roosters crow all day and...
