Philippine Native Chicken
Philippine native chicken is the common fowl found in the
backyard of most rural households. It is a mixture of different
breeds and believed to have descended from the domesticated red
jungle fowl. It is estimated that 54% of the total chicken
population of the country are native chicken (UPLB 2001)
distributed as follows : Western Visayas 13.32%, Southern
Mindanao 10.63, Southern Tagalog 9.51%, Central Visayas

Plymouth rock chicken
The Plymouth Rock was developed in America in the middle of the 19th
century and was first exhibited as a breed in 1869. Several individuals claimed its
invention, using crosses of Dominique, Java, Cochin, and Brahma. The first
Plymouth Rock was barred and other varieties developed later. The Breed became
popular very rapidly, and in fact, until World War II, no breed was ever kept and
bred as extensively as the Barred Plymouth Rock. Its popularity came from its
qualities as an outstanding farm chicken: hardiness, docility, broodiness, and
excellent production of both eggs and meat. Most of the other varieties were
developed from crosses containing some of the same ancestral background as the
barred variety. Early in its development, the name Plymouth Rock implied a barred
bird, but as more varieties were developed, it became the designation for the breed.
The Barred Plymouth Rock was one of the foundation breeds for the broiler
industry in the 1920's.
Rhode Island
Red
Rhode Island
American breed of domestic chicken. It is the state
bird of Rhode Island. It was developed there and
in Massachusetts in the late nineteenth century, by cross-
breeding birds of Oriental origin such as the Malay with
brown Leghorn birds from Italy. It was a dual-purpose
breed, raised both for meat and for eggs; modern strains
have been bred for their egg-laying abilities.
SHAMO
Shamo
The Shamo chicken is an hard feathered Asiatic Game
breed originating in Japan. Although the breed was developed in
Japan, but it’s ancestors came from Thailand (which was known
as Siam) between the 17th and 19th centuries. Shamo chicken
was developed mainly for using as a fighting bird. And the breed
was imported into many countries mainly for this reason. There
are many different kinds of Japanese Game chickens, but
currently the Shamos are best known. Breeders looked to the
strength and endurance of these original breeds when creating
the Shamo breed. The Shamos have been selectively bred for
hundred years and now is very different from the original stock.

Design
Brooders’ House
 Brooders’ House

Usually refers to some type of heated enclosure for raising

baby poultry, whether they are baby chicks, turkey poults,
or goslings. Typically, a brooder includes a heat lamp, a
source of food and water for the chicks and bedding such
as pine shavings. A screen enclosure on top can be very
helpful to keep out curious pets and children. These
brooders can also be called mini-coops.
Factors to successful brooding

• Proper Temperature
• Adequate space allowance
• Proper ventilation
• Proper sanitation
• Adequate lighting facilities

Poultry House
Management
Birds should be properly housed to provide comfort
and protection for efficient production. In planning the
structures and equipment needed for poultry production,
certain factors must taken into account. The chicken
house must be constructed with local materials, preferably
cheaper but sturdy enough to protect them. Good
ventilation is necessary for the growth of chicken. In
natural farming, odor is tolerable because of the bedding
materials that includes micro-organism which suppress
the growth of non beneficial micro-organism that is
responsible of the bad odor.
Free Range
Free Range
Denotes a method of farming husbandry where the animals, for
at least part of the day, can roam freely outdoors, rather than
being confined in an enclosure for 24 hours each day.On many
farms, the outdoors ranging area is fenced, thereby technically
making this an enclosure, however, free range systems usually
offer the opportunity for the extensive locomotion and sunlight
that is otherwise prevent ed by indoor housing systems.

Giving them the area for growth and space for their natural
activities like picking and eating insects and
scratching the soil.
