Hi and

That's awesome that you want to get chickens. Here are a couple of threads that deal with raising chooks in tropical climates:
https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/22320/coop-design-for-tropical-climate
https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/677817/raising-chickens-in-a-tropical-climate
I got those from doing a search, you should just type anything you need into the search bar and there'll be old threads you can browse through, or alternatively, post your own questions.
I live in Australia, so it's (kind of) tropical. The chickens do okay in the heat as long as they have shade and water.
I hope you find all the info you need here!

Thank you for those links! I am familiar with forums and how to search but it is hard when you dont know enough to even begin searching!

I can usually find answers to whatever I need, even by typing the whole rambling question into the search box. There's a pretty good chance, with so many people, that someone's asked the same question before
Anyway, enjoy the site.

Hello and welcome to BYC

Hoja,
We live in Malacatos and have the same concerns....what chickens are available here?? Our neighbor has banttys and although pretty, the eggs are small and the birds wouldn't make much of a meal! The local feed stores have chicks for sale but I haven't ask what kind they are. I don't speak real good Spanish and maybe when my new dictionary gets here it may help. We will probably have our farm ready to move onto next dry season so I have some time for research. Anyone with suggestions please respond and anything I find out, I will do the same.
Choa for now.......Kris
