Maybe you should be looking for this breed in the Philippines?

thats 15000p or 400 dollars!

at this point they are not set up to do anything but allow the other people on their street to get some free chicken adobo

there is a huge hill behind their house that they have been digging into so they can get more flat land

but when it rains dirt & even small rocks come down the hill.

the problem calls for a good solid rock retaining wall

we will probably start sending about p4000 a month over there

& we will see what we can get done by the end of the year

once the wall is finished then we will start with chicken coops & a couple pig pens

i sold some of my buff pullets that i had hatched today

while the guy was here i showed him my english roo

he is 50% bigger than my buff roo

the guy was really impressed but didn't want to pay what i was asking for the britt chicks

by next week i should be able to sex those same britt chicks

i think i'll see how well breeding pairs go

i'll also want to put the best looking pullets in with my adult birds

so i can have more than just the 3 layers that i have rite now.

by cold weather i think i want about 8 hens per breed

that will keep the roos happy

& come next Jan. i can hatch like a wild man
