I always fancied keeping some poultry, now I live in the village I made some moves.
I started with the idea of Bantams and the locals laughed at me when I said I wanted to eat the eggs. They keep them for good luck? How can a micro chicken bring good luck?
I have a really annoying neighbor, so I thought it would be fun to get Guineas, they sound great!
I have built an oversized high coop, ordered 4 juveniles; solar lighting, water and feeders installed. Im prepared to keep them in for 8+ weeks.
The only thing that's specific to Thailand that i'm unsure of is feed. I gather they eat chicken pellets? is that good enough? I should feed them cereal - like ..? millet, corn, sunflower seeds? where to source.
Also, do they sell some kind of grit here to mix in with the feed? does anyone have a Thai name or do I ask for "hin lek lek"
Anything else I should know.
