limegreenpatato Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Hey i have a fairly large open area on my property that is unused and i was thinking about trying to raise some chickens to lay eggs. I was wondering if anyone here has any experience with doing this here? Cost, where i would get them from, what type of shelter they use in thailand....are snakes a problem for chickens here? Are they ok in the cold season? etc etc. Any help is appreciated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

market trader Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 (edited) I would suggest you look at the farming forum. I was just reading a topic about chickens on that forum today. Maybe the mods could move this thread to the farming forum. Edited August 7, 2013 by market trader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worgeordie Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 The kind of birds I am looking for I have never seen for sale, like Marans,RIR, the only kind available will be hybrids. As for snakes,yes they can be a problem,so make sure that the housing in 100% secure,we lost a nearly full size Goose to a Python. Would also like to have some Bantams,like I had in UK, OEG and Modern game. Best to ask at shops that sell feed,if you want some chicks. regards Worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junglechef Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I raise chickens, ducks and quail for eggs and just started chickens for meat, started w/o any experience and it has worked out great, it's easy and though I never was especially fond of birds I like my little feathered friends. I'll pm you as not get moved etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
