Chickens raised and produced through open type.
Native Chicken are still very common in the backyards of most rural people
in the Philippines.
This type of farm is best on an upland plain to slightly rolling or less productive area (rocky) or under fruit trees or
plantation crops such as rubber, coconut, and banana.
It's affordable and easy to maintain native chicken housing is also a must to ensure increased production.
At the very least, a farmer or raiser can build improvised shelter which includes a mating pen or perch house,
individual nest and brooder house. The materials could be bamboo scraps, nipa leaves and logs that serve as
foundation and structure for the main chicken house. When the house is not in use, this could serve as a resting
shed for the farmer and his family or for simple outdoor activities such as picnics and games.
The meat of the native chicken has a unique flavor and texture.
Native chicken in the Philippines in so far is the best chicken that I have ever tasted in my entire life.
Feeds given to native chickens do not require much attention.
By nature, they freely scavenge the soil in search for crawling insects and worms. However, farmers and raisers can
use farm by-products such as ground corn cobs and chopped leguminous fodders together with salt to augment
their feed requirement.
The Philippine Native Chicken eggs were smaller in size.
