Bubbly Backyard poultry - #Nattu Kozhi

People are now very enthusiastic about poultry. Some of them are depending on their tiny flock for fresh eggs daily for their family or a constant supply of healthy organic meat. The country chicken keeping is very easy if you spend some time and have minimal space requirements. The more profitable way of farming nowadays is to get a week old chick of a good breed from hatchery and grow them as organic as we could and then sell them at 4 - 5 months. Breeds like Kadaknath are even more costly than the normal ones and very healthy.



Poultry is also now a fancy factor to our farm houses and home gardens. Geese, Silkie hens , Indian runners are very dynamic birds and they add beauty to our garden. Its fun watching them going around us and making that peculiar noise.














In Indian subcontinent, there are fanciers who are after Aseel chicken, these are game fowls used for rooster fights. There are organized tournaments and historical lineage for these birds. I believe these are the most costliest in the chicken breeds available. It vary from $50 up to $2000 (1 Lakh Rupee). These birds enjoy being in human companionship as they were selective breed and they work well with people. Also these birds are used as guardian for the flock. They usually fight away predatory birds or stray dogs.



Keeping a good poultry flock is the best way to control pests. Turkey, geese, guinea fowls, Muscovy ducks are the top ranking pest controllers.







































Finally, the purpose of this blog is to convey one message. To get quality eggs and meat the poultry or livestock not only need good food but also a stress free life. As birds and animals are highly stressed we are eating eggs and meat that tastes like shit. As the  animals are free range and enjoy a nature like habitat the good fat of the animal settles evenly in their body producing high quality meat and eggs. If we follow this approach there are chances that we become best meat producers in world ecologically.
