Greetings and Salutations!
I just signed up coz for a couple of weeks now I had been reading some of the posts here and found it to be very informative and very much pleasing. Just wanna share my experience so here it goes.
Im living in a city suburb ( Cebu, Philippines). Yeah, a bit kinda strange place to be raising some chickens but I managed somehow.
I always loved chickens , not only as a food but more like as pets. I do find them very entertaining to watch, lovable and oh those cute chicks.
I did tried to breed them before, years ago but unfortunately, my work had kept me busy for years and lost the time to care for them. Now that I got the time I bought 2 chicks( 2 day old) 2 weeks ago. unfortunately for some unknown reason, 1 week after, 1 chick died.
That day, the remaining chick was so lonely and chirping her heart out. Would follow me all day. My wifey and I even took turns to watch over her/him (the chick) to keep company and comfort. But also to prevent the chick from chirping so much coz its so loud. The chick would roost in my wifes foot.
The following day, I decided to get another chick to provide company for the latter. Was kinda afraid since there was a week gap between the 2 of them and clearly the size difference. Well, everything went fine. they are both happy and they are always in the company of each other.
PS. the chicks I have are Kabir (don't know if you had heard about it but they are considered to be one of those fast growing giant breeds that can grow to as high as 2 feet tall if im not mistaken.
