SHARING SOME OLD PICTURES

I admit, I do regret not having done this postings long time ago. Well, during the year 2000, there were no available "blogspot" yet and other web sites that are for free :) It’s not too late to do the postings anyway. What matters is what we have to share with all free-range chicken enthusiasts :)

Our very own pictures, learning experiences, progress and developments, at each year and each step of the way of the growing Free-range chicken industry :) 


See the "Naked Neck" ones?

Aren't their colorful?

Oh I remember!, there were six types of Male Breeder Line from SASSO then. I'm not an expert in chicken nor a veterinarian he he he, but I do remember calling those breeders by their codenames, as it was in the SASSO brochure and website :)  They were:

1. X44N (Naked Neck or Transylvanian Naked Neck or Turken breed)
2. X44 (Rhode Island red, I'm quite sure)
3. T77 (a "Black" one, I don't know of what breed, maybe an Australorp breed, maybe a Barnevelder breed)
4. T88 (barred Plymouth Rock breed, I'm pretty sure)
5. TMaster ( like a Speckled Sussex breed :) just my guess) 
6. Sussex (a breed called Sussex from England)



We started like everybody else... Using bamboos and light materials for the shelter and used fishing nets for the ranging fence of our flock. 
These pictures were taken sometime in November 2000. 



Something I remember in the year 2000, when we have our first batch free-range chickens in our farm in Abra, were the big sizes of these chickens. Photos here are real and what I am posting here are only pictures taken by yours truly, with my own camera ha ha ha :-D

Watch out for the next interesting stories of the free-range chicken farming experiences by Pamora Farm including trips to France :)
