Chook pens


I never expected that a farm is like a continuous development. This week, the flying pens were constructed. These flying pens are for the game fowl breeds. After the buyer purchase fighting cocks, the chickens will be kept inside these pens before the big fight. These pens will serve as their “hotel room” where they can rest and energize.


We also had a “chook pen” for the organic chicks. The chicks need a big space where they can play and scratch. But they also need to be protected from any risks on their lives such as snakes, rats, or even dogs. I also planted cucumbers that will crawl on the chicken wires.

We also planted the seed of the avocado Susan Hassig of Viuex Chalet gave me. Weekly, I would buy this fruit in the groceries but it doesn’t taste as delicious as the ones she gave. You can really taste the difference between organic fruits than the ones bought in the market: organic ones are just tastier.

I also had a my first client inquiry on my organic chickens (check WE-CAFE). She’s not a relative or a friend, she just came across my blog. She’s planning to buy an organic chicken, as well as chicken binakol. The inquiry is such a lovely surprise!

I really hope more and more people would go organic – it’s just healthier and lowers the risks of any disease or even cancer that one may acquire as we age

Plotting Hill





Do you still remember The Parable of the Sower? The plots are up, but not all my seeds made it alive. Some seeds were eaten by the birds, others drowned due to too much water, while others survived.

These are pechays that survived, and they have started to grow bigger.


And new hatchlings greeted us when we arrived. It’s like we have new chikitings weekly, it’s crazy! I never expected that chickens can multiply that fast!



I am also putting a chicken wire gate around the vegetables. It’s Joel’s suggestion. I don’t know why we had to gate the vegetables, but maybe the eggplants can crawl on the chicken wire.


I am having a trellis constructed for the WE-Cafe. The WE-Cafe is rustic farm cafe for our enjoyment. Also for my father’s clients who would come to the farm to purchase chickens. More importantly, I want a place to celebrate our family parties. I can already imagine my son’s
(2-years) Old McWacky has a farm birthday theme. WE-Cafe’s specialty is Chicken Binakol. For orders, check WE-Cafe
