RR's Kuribot is BACK--and we're more hopeful than ever.

After more than a year of experimenting and science-based breeding, we're happy to introduce our very own chicken breed we call Manok Pag-asa (MP).

MP comes from the bloodline of Orpingtons, Jersey Giants, Black Australorps, and Rhode Island Reds. MP can:

*Lay 250 brown, medium to large-sized eggs a year
*Weigh 2.5 kilos in just 3 months
*Mate and breed with Philippine native chickens

MP does not need large space, so they are perfect for backyard chicken raisers. Bred and hatched in the Philippines, this hybrid American heritage chicken is resilient to tropical climate conditions. It also loves to snack on ipil-ipil, banana leaves, madre de agua, oregano, and other native plants and trees. It is the perfect chicken for Filipino farmers.

Photos show: MP at one-week old, one-month old, and three-month old.

Aside from chickens and turkeys, our coop also has resident guinea fowls—the best farm guard and alarm there is.

And as such, demand for guinea fowl is high. Some of our keets have made it to as far as Mt. Province!

As early as now, we want to do things right and promote sustainability.

Here in the North, most chicks hatch inside a nesting basket made of handwoven bamboo skin. We call it kuribot. We adopted it in our name because we see ourselves as a kuribot that cradles a chick until it's strong enough to leap out of the nest and interact with the rest of the coop.

Today, we bought a bunch of kuribot from a local seller here in Pangasinan. Our purpose? Instead of housing chicks in a box during shipment, we'll use kuribot. It's more sturdy; it allows good ventilation; it offers a warm, stress-free ambiance to our chicks during transit. Plus, it doubles as a nesting box once the chicks grow and start laying eggs.

You see, unlike boxes--which often go to waste after transporting the chicks--a kuribot has an innate purpose. It makes our packaging eco-friendly and our business more meaningful.

We hope this extra effort gives joy, inspiration, and added value to our customers.

It rained for three hours straight last night. But we were confident that our flock would be safe and sound no matter what.

Our breeders were warm in their pens, and our free-range flock perched comfortably under the makeshift shades we built. This is why proper housing is very important.

Also, the rain is not actually bad for your chickens. It even washes out dirt stains lingering on their feathers, giving them a fresher, rejuvenated look post-downpour.

D**g Tao, one of the world's priciest chicken breeds, can be found here at RR's Kuribot. DTs are well known for their oversized feet, which earned them the monicker "dragon chicken."

DTs originated from Vietnam and somehow made its way to various parts of the globe. Here in the Philippines, only a few have bred D**g Tao successfully. We hope we'd do it right.

On day one, chicks look the same--except for guinea fowls which belong to a different species. They're all adorable but very fragile.

In our coop, we target a below 5% mortality rate. And we usually hit it.

Raring chicks artificially is quite simple. Breeders must play mother hen. You have to build a proper brooder that is not too warm. Water must be replaced twice a day-- probiotics in the morning and electrolytes in the afternoon. And while it might be a bit pricey, we give our chicks the best quality starter feed to ensure fast growth and good digestibility. Now, we're experimenting on using rice hull as brooder bedding. Not only does it keep the chicks warm, it also helps dry their droppings to prevent foul smell and allows easier cleaning. The most important part of being a mother hen to your chicks is your ability to respond fast if you see problems. Waiting one more day to perform the needed adjustments might have negative, irreversible impact on your chicks' health.

On week 2, you begin to see distinguishing features of certain breeds. Some are taller, and others have wider body frames. Some are even color blue! Two more weeks, and they can be transferred to a bigger brooder. From this batch, we decided to keep three chicks that we plan to breed someday. That's the best part of breeding your own chickens--you get to keep the ones that captured your heart.

As we continue to grow our community, we would like to give a shoutout to some breeders who inspired us to venture into chicken raising. When people ask how we were able to acquire several breeds in just a span of three months, we remember the good men who shared their breeding stocks to us and generously gave us tips on how we could take better care of our coop!

When we were crazy looking for bantam breeds last February, we happened to find the Facebook profile of Mr. Geronimo Pranada of Asingan, Pangasinan. He was very approachable, and he readily sent some videos of his different bantam breeds. We immediately drove to his place upon seeing his cute collection! At that time, we were just starting our chicken coop and had no idea how much a pair would cost. We were "barat."

Geronimo was a quiet, unassuming guy. He welcomed us with a big smile and gave us a tour of his tiny coop (Well, he raised bantams). His collection was impressive. He successfully cross-bred the best birds in his coop and came up with one-of-a-kind showtype chickens.

But beauty comes with a price! While we wanted to buy so many, we only had P4,000 in our pockets. And each breeder-age bantam had a price tag of around P800 to P5,000! So, like we said, we were "barat," but we managed to get four quality breeders (a pair of OEG, one chabo hen, and one turken rooster) for all the money we had. "Di naman ako mahirap kausap basta masaya 'yong bumibili," he said. And we were very happy, indeed.

We left Geronimo's coop with big smiles, feeling inspired. Later on, we would find out that Geronimo is the VP of Pangasinan Bantam Association.

When you're a chicken farmer, the greatest joy in life is when your hens begin laying eggs. It marks the beginning of your payday.

Everyday, we would make the rounds in our coop to pickup eggs at around 9AM to 11 AM and 2PM to 5PM. We observe a consistent egg-picking routine because we don't put baskets in our coops. Instead, we let the hens lay their eggs on the ground. To prevent them from accidentally stepping on and breaking an egg, we must be consistent with our schedule.

Some breeds give you brown eggs. Others white. Others too small to hatch.

After weeks of relying on our native hens to sit on our eggs, we finally decided to invest on an incubator to give our "hencubators" a break. An incubator will enable you to monitor temperature and humidity-- the main factors affecting an egg's hatchability. But these summer months have been unforgiving. Last Sunday, we candled our eggs and saw that around 30% of them were unfertile. It could be because of the weather. Or maybe our incubator needs some calibrating. We just have to wait until the next candling schedule.

But, to be honest, we didn't completely feel bad about this. Why? It's an opportunity for us to finally taste these expensive eggs! Eggs of certain breeds could sell for P50 to P300 each! They're a fitting breakfast for kings and queens; and in our case, hard-working chicken breeders.

When we first saw a shamo c**kerel, we were awestruck! When we were kids, our aunt would tell stories of an "aswang" that could take the form of different of animals--and one of them was a tall, muscular black bird, so heavy that when it landed on a tree, branches would bend to the ground. And so when we first saw a shamo, we quipped, "Halimaw!"

It took us a while before we were able to acquire a pair of pure brazilian shamo. Quality breeding stocks were hard to find. And when one goes on sale, it comes with a steep price tag! But that's just how it goes in the poultry breeding world. You want quality chickens? You have to spend!

And finally, we met a breeder from a nearby town who willingly shared a pair of six-month old brazilian shamo for a price we could afford. He had one condition--we must only use it for breeding and not for c**k fighting. The shamo breed is known for being aggressive and strong. A mature rooster could easily take down even the best-trained fighting c**k. They have the stamina of a warrior, and so leaving them in the company of other aggressive c**ks would be bloody and fatal.

Just a week ago, our bazilian shamo gave in to a respiratory disease. We felt bad because we did everything we could to help it survive, even as far as consulting a vet. Our hens have been laying for almost two months already, and we had to ensure their eggs would remain fertile. Otherwise, we'd miss a productive breeding season.

We were on the verge of giving up and opting to just sell our hens. But destiny bridged us to a breeder who had the coveted "Dumpo strain" in his yard, and he was selling it for a fraction of the actual price! Immediately, we drove to his place and instantly fell in love with this giant rooster that was way beyond the standard size for stags his age. It's a true-blue "halimaw!"

The moment we released him to our breeding pen, he immediately mated with our hens. He was a showoff! Today, our brazilian shamo hen laid an egg--and I've got a feeling it carries the "dumpo" strain, too. We're too excited to see the outcome.

And so it's true that when we lost something, life tries to replace it with something better, which in our case, bigger and more "halimaw." We almost gave up, but we found a reason to persist.

Serendipity is what we would call this chain of events.

Just like most startups, we started from scratch. All we had was an empty yard with few native chickens that provided us with fresh eggs and the occasional tinola.

Last February, we came up with an idea to purchase a pair of bantam chicken in an attempt to add some color to our seemingly barren yard. And then our adventure started. We were struck by "chicken fever." To sustain our hobby, every payday, we would set aside a portion of our income to purchase breeders. Sometimes, we would go beyond the budget! Nevertheless, we had fun meeting breeders, travelling across provinces, and learning from conversations with locals.

And then, one day, we realized we already had too many chickens in our yard (see middle photo), and we barely had enough space for them! So, we decided to build a proper coop for our birds. We were so happy to see the result. And now that our extended family keeps growing, we wish to share the joy and great benefits of backyard chicken raising to others through this page. And hopefully, encourage you to build a with .

In life, there's always a second chance.

This over two-year-old turkey hen was scheduled for culling. The previous owner had no intention of giving it a second chance at breeding. Luckily, before Mrs. Turkey meets Mama Sita's kaldereta sauce, we got in touch with the owner and brought her home to our coop for a bargain price.

And Mrs. Turkey did not let us down. By sunset, she laid an egg. It's quite unusual for a turkey to lay an egg late in the afternoon, but we think she must have felt "at home" in our coop. At that moment, we vowed to take good care of her and give her a second chance in life.

At first, I thought I made a bad decision buying an old hen. But looking at her now, I realized, sometimes you gotta listen to your heart. When you love your poultry, they will love you back.

Drink your water, Hen!

As the weather becomes hotter, we noticed that our chickens have increased their water intake. We saw this as an opportunity to infuse some vitamins to their daily diet, instead of injecting them, which might cause stress.

Chickens love this concoction. And we've been seeing good results. Chickens are more active, and they have shinier feathers. We'll weigh them by the end of the month to see if the vitamins helped them gain more weight.

Practical tip: Always serve it cool to keep its freshness.

Here at our coop, we take cleanliness and biosecurity seriously.

And so we'd like to give a shoutout to Stephanie and Shamae, who have been helping us wash and disinfect our waterers and feeders regularly. And they look very happy doing it!

We're thankful for their immense help. Just the other day, Stephanie expressed her interest to raise chickens in their own backyard. We volunteered to guide her through the journey.
