Our farm animals are growing by the day. Today, we added five manok Tagalog plus Chickie laid two eggs.
We reached the inner alleys of Silang Public Market looking for the only vendor selling manok Tagalog. Last week kasi we went to Mahogany Market in Tagaytay, walang buhay na manok. They pointed to Silang as the source of free range chickens.
Ilang balik-balik kami sa alley, we couldn’t find the vendor. I heard a tilaok, Edmund thought the sound I heard came from the neighboring houses, not from within the market.
We walked back and forth until a sidewalk vendor accompanied us to the so-called “kanto”.
The kanto she was referring to was actually a very narrow alley, like 24″ wide inside a stall selling vegetables. It looked more like a dirty shanty.
Past the shanty were several chicken cages.
A couple sells the native chickens. We bought this male one for P350.
Yung pinag-uusapan nila na hindi nakakahawak yung lalaki ay pera. His wife’s the boss. She’s the one in charge of money matters.
E——“Ang bigat pala nitong mga manok na’to”
A——“Ang tataba kasi”.
The carpenter made an instant (temporary) cage.
One male manok was placed outside the cage to avoid fighting with the older tandang. I am not assigning the five manok Tagalog individual names because I wouldn’t be able to remember all their names. And from the looks of it, we would be adding maybe two more female chickens.
I call this batch kanto boys kasi we bought them from the kanto in Silang.
E——“Hindi pwedeng kanto boys kasi may tatlong babae”.
A——“Di yung tatlo eh kanto girls”.
The farm caretaker is complaining about the turkeys. They pooh a lot. Their black pooh are all over our front driveway and in the barracks.
Our farm animals are growing and realistically speaking, I can’t remember all their names. I didn’t give individual names to the three turkeys, I will just call them turkey one, two, three. So I know we’re not missing any one.
There are tiny flies on the cow’s back. Edmund put some Off on a small area but he couldn’t put the insect repellant lotion all over Harry’s back. Baka daw kasi dilaan eh malason.
The cow is friendlier to Edmund.
Chickie has laid two eggs already. Her eggs are much smaller than the regular eggs.
Ang dami nyo ng farm animals! 🙂 Bili ka din Ms. Annie ng mga geese. O kaya ducks. Cute sila roaming around. Tapos, pwede din kayo bumili ng local na goat para maliit lang. Sobrang laki kasi nung mga may breed. Eto naman po e kung gusto nyo lang ng iba pang animals. Hehe.. 🙂
I don’t like goats, they will eat all my plants and flowers, unless we put in a cage. Kawawa naman pag naka kulong.
Hello po! Share ko lang po kasi laking probinsiya din po ako kaya nakikita ko po noon doon sa mga kalabaw o baka na may mga flies talaga na lipad dapo sa kanilang mga likuran. Di ko lang po alam kung bakit. kaya po yong buntot nila lagi nilang sini-swish o pini-flick sa kanilang likuran to drive away the flies. have a nice day po! 😉
