Yesterday was the 34th day of the sunshines. the average weight of the big ones are 970 grams. there are still the small ones and i have decided to give them away to my caretaker for food, definitely not for raising.
Their appetite for food and water has doubled and we are adding more feeders and waterers.
Monday would be their first day of ranging. i am excited to see them range. am sure it will be like going to the beach for them. hehehehe
I always take pictures of them whenever i visit the farm. this gives me s snapshot of what the condition of the sunshine's and the brooder.
we are now having a hard time sourcing dry sawdust or rice hull. i hope we solve this problem before we load the next batch of chickens which will definitely need more ricehull and saw dust.
FIRST HARVEST, i harvested 6 chickens from the farm yesterday. i chose the bigger ones and bought a chick box where i put them.
WHY 6? its one chicken for each family member.
on the way home, I dropped by the market to buy two bundles of lemongrass and headed to our house immediately so dressing can begin.
At home, our yaya took charge of dressing the chicken but had to pass the torch to our help because she had to attend to my kyonie daughter.
I realized that its not easy to dress chickens. they started around 6pm and finished around 10am. well, they are not professionals and its their first time.
one of them chopped the onions, garlic, ginger and pounded the lemongrass which we will use as marinade.
i left for a dinner meeting in makati and when i returned they were still cleaning the chickens! i told them to call it a night and just marinade the chicken tomorrow.
The average dressed weight of the chickens are 750grams in 34 days.
TODAY, as i write this blog, my dependable house staff are preparing the chickens and putting all the stuffings inside for tonights action!
i called my mom and my brother to invite them for dinner. they are excited. and so am i!!!
we are going to have turbo roasted chicken, oh sorry! turbo roasted sunshine! hehehehe... i had 5 chickens prepared and my daughter is going to have her arroscaldo sunshine.
till my next blog... most probably after tonight's dinner! buurrrpp... hehehhe
