Chickens
Chicken Production
Hondurans use chickens both for their eggs and meat, and so they represent a ready market for a small landholder.
Chickens require much less room and less daily feed then other small farm animals and so are easier for someone to start into a small business.
We are following the Educational Concern for Hunger Organization, ECHO, publication “Natural Farming, Principles, Concepts & Appropriate Techniques in Tropics” for the basics of our chicken raising method. This method keeps the chickens sheltered and on a deep bed of dry organic material. Keeping them under roof helps to protect them from many of the local pathogens. The chickens are fed fermented feed with the bulk of the material to ferment being agricultural waste from the local area. Their feed is further supplemented with farm raised black soldier fly larva.
We are also producing our own lactic acid bacteria to make a solution that can be sprayed over the chicken house litter daily to eliminate odors and also used in the feed fermentation process.
There are so many steps of waste transformation involved in raising chickens and we can use that to point to Christ who transforms us into His own likeness.
