Michael J, where do you think i can get reliable broiler chicken supplier ??? maybe those "CHOY YUEN" or "KONG NECK" or "KAMPUNG" breed ???

very frustrated with the supplier here in Semenyih...cause always mix the male until mostly i reared those male chickens = very less meat compared to female....

Side note : turkey is very difficult to cook properly as per Michael J. you cook wrongly then your RM 50-60 is up in smokes ala Smoked Turkey...and market wise its chicken definitely

if you plan to rear for festival then can give it a try...

there's a supplier in Bahau, NS who rears many types of chicken. But, unfortunately..i dun hv his no...sorry a. As for turkey..i'm not sure bout the cooking part...have not cooked one myself...^^ ...will update u guys when i try ...hehe..Thanks to all Shifus....

hi chinyen,

is it those fish meal fertiliser which comes in a blue metal drum ?
*
hehe i dont know. i bought the small 400gm pack to try and plan to buy in bigger quantity. i have enquired supplier from Johor , they quoted me rm1900/ton exclusive of delivery charges. i dont think i'm buying that much at the moment maybe around 100kg so i tried to enquire from the kl/selangor suppliers and still waiting for their reply.

i'm worried also if i'm buying the same thing. ts, is there many types of fish meal but they work the same o they dont if there is no difference in ratio of npk mentioned la. should i just buy from kl/selangor area? thanks

Hi Chinyen, just wondering if you can DIY? Like EM, I also tried doing from cheap salt water fish, which works very well too.

i thought of collecting the bones from eateries but i'm not too sure how to process them. whether to just crush them o smoke them first before crushing. i'm also worried that just crushing them will invite flies/pests

I bought the grafting tape from those agri-shop (similar to hardware shop). Chinyen , you good @ grafting? Am about to start learn grafting Avocado trees, just waiting for it to grow to a bigger size to start. Also still studying from u-tube and internet  smile.gif You got any suggestion?

Big PVC are a bit costly here. Hammering it close may disrupt the roots? Am presently using wooden stick (recycled) to prop the banana trees that are not vertical and weak.

haha just my 2 cents..never detach the sucker from banana before. well, i can only find tie tape, the green one, so far. i need the transparent one. the nursery owner here has weird thinking. they're reluctant to sell the grafting tape to us worrying that that will encourage more hybrids and less sale for them. i am currently grafting adenium rose flower plant and not yet into fruit plant hehe tongue.gif oh, did i mention that i'm in kl? where's ur location mr farmer?

Rabbits don't really need much "coaching" for them to breed, and neither would you need to know much about it.... I mean, they are rabbits.... They will breed like, well, rabbits! Personally, I think the online resources are good enough. Otherwise, just buy a book on the subject, and you'd be good. Aside from that, it's gonna take a bit of trial and error, so start really really small (eg. a pair).

Rabbits used to be eaten quite often in the past here in Malaysia, but nowadays most people prefer the taste of chicken. Can't really blame people, as rabbit meat is very lean (little fat), and really low in tasty cholesterol. It is also quite gamey in taste (taste a little bit like goat), can become quite dry and coarse if not cooked the right way, and off-putting to people who look at rabbits as fluffy cute things instead of food. It would likely be a hard sell if you sold them whole and fresh. But you might have better success if you value added them, i.e. rabbit kebabs/satay, stewed rabbit meat, frozen rabbit burgers etc.

My mom and her family used to rear rabbits back in the Chinese new village, and during the Emergency, helped feed her entire family of 10 siblings throughout the period. They even had enough to share with the neighbours back then. I remember her substituting rabbit for pork in some of the usual Chinese dishes, and even making breaded fried rabbit hind-quarters instead of fried chicken. How she made it, I don't know, because my dad didn't like the thought of eating rabbits, and so she eventually stopped making it.

what is usually served is hare instead of rabbit in western countries, right? btw, wanna tumpang thread...hehe..is turkey difficult to rear and takes a long time to mature period?

Congrats, and thanks for sharing.

chinyen:

Type 1 is a type of cabai burung (bird's eye chili). When immature, it is purple in color, right? It is supposed to be very hot, more so than the much larger cili api. This variant is quite rare on the open market. Type 2 looks like the normal garden chili, with elongated leaves. Type 3 is also a cabai burung variant, but it is very commonly found. In Juru (Penang) and Teluk Intan (Perak), both Type 1 and Type 3 are quite abundant.

i see. i personally like type 1 chilli and meant to propagate it here in kl. Thank you very much for your reply. REally appreciate it.^^
