The chickens roam freely during the day, but they lose the occasional one to avaricious neighbors.
Hopefully they now, at last, understand the benefits of FAT chickens and constant feeding. I've asked them to constantly feed cheap rice on the half rai plot immediately adjacent so they stay close and fatten faster.
7 us a kilo is achievable for fattened slaughtered and plucked chickens circa 50 -55 days old.
The meat is exceptionally good. Not too stringy, bones you can get your teeth into and some real taste.
