The first Dominant CZ in Cebu Island

The long wait is now over!! Since Dumanji freerange chicken started its operation last year, we had been constantly receiving request to provide our customers not only with freerange meat but also freerange eggs. The only problem then is that our own freerange chickens doesn't have the capability of producing eggs at large volume that would make production economically feasible. To address this problem, we came up with a solution of finding an alternative breed that can produce eggs at large volume.

Luckily we were able to find a solution when we came across a breed of layer chickens whose bloodline came from the Czech Republic. This breed of Chicken is known as Dominant CZ.

Since the start of this year, Dumanji freerange chicken has been waiting for our first breed of Dominant CZ to arrive. This breed of chicken has a natural behaviour of producing large volume of freerange eggs. Based on the data from our supplier, this breed of chickens can produce 250 freerange eggs per hen in a year!! The eggs produced by this layer has a natural brown color.

Our first batch of Dominant CZ-Day Old Chicks (DOC) arrived in the island of Cebu last July 28, 2010. This is actually the first batch of Dominant CZ chicks that actually reached this beautiful island.

Right after arriving in our farm in Brgy. Lamak Dumanjug Cebu, they were then vaccinated in order for them to be protected from viral infection. This is done by dropping the vaccine in their cute little eyes.

Currrently, our Dominant CZ chicks are in their brooding area. Here, we will be closely monitoring their status until they are ready for ranging which will be after a month from now.
