Back in the game
The Philippine Native Chicken (PNC) is the supposed King of the Free Range. But due to lack of real profit in raising native chickens, farmers settle for other types as compromise material for free range chicken farming in the Philippines.
But what if we can develop a modern native chicken that can provide real profit to farmers because it is bigger with more meat to sell and better fighter that it can also be sold as gamecock?
The idea is to create a native chicken that can earn real profit for chicken farmers and raisers. The object should be a native chicken that can grow big enough to be profitable if solely sold as meat. However, since cockfighting is legal in the Philippines, it will be more profitable if some roosters shall be good enough to be sold as fighting cocks for much higher prices.
Yes it can be done. But first what is native chicken?
For our purpose native could mean: the indigenous inhabitants of a place. Or introduced to a place and inhabited the place for a long period of time. In some dictionaries it could also mean: born in a particular place. But to us this definition should not apply to native chicken. The hybrids with foreign breeds, the imported breeds, regardless hatched here in the Philippines cannot be called Philippine native chicken.
A native chicken is a native to a place. Yes. But native in this case also has another meaning, like ‘naked’ or ‘bare.’ Or ‘natural.’ Native chicken is unaltered or not genetically modified, not even by specific purpose breeding. A native chicken should be a natural chicken which is inherently and essentially a multi-purpose fowl. Native chicken is a chicken unaltered in appearance and purpose. A native chicken should look like chicken. It should pack flavor like the good old chickens. And, in the first place, could fight well and intrensically game like all chickens were at the onset.
For example, the oversized Cornish X broilers, although they came from Indian Game, don’t look like chicken anymore as they look like inflated air bags with feathers. The broilers don’t taste like the old good chicken as, without lots of seasoning and a good chef, they taste like air. Definitely broilers can’t fight, they can hardly stand, let alone fly and kick. These broilers are never native to any place. They are manufactured in so-called chicken factories in many different places in the world. Therefore, broilers can never be native chicken. The Philippine Fowl, on the other hand, looks like chicken, tastes like chicken and fights like chicken. It is made in the Philippines by Filipinos and it is inhabitant of the Philippines.
THINK DIFFERENT
The world is changing. People are fast learning. What worked yesterday, may not work tomorrow. Many who think they are already masters despise something new. They are afraid to discover they might be wrong all along. While those who study leave behind what is wrong and move ahead with what is right. So think different and move forward.
