  • Please have a look in the chickens feet. With the wire on the bottom of the cage the feet will get hurt over time.

    Awesome guy, awesome ideas and I also like the way he thinks. Big inspiration

    • @@qadventures I’m concerned about the quality of life of the chickens. They can’t be comfortable standing on an incline and feet always on wire, without room to roam or walk freely. They need to be happy, not stressed

    • @tampapropertygirl3422 I completely understand from a western perspective of animal care. However, I am not in a position to articulate such concerns to locals who have function this way for many years, it’s a culture. I am ignorant of the process myself and only telling a story

  • I did something similar with my fiancé, when I first met her she had a little**store I know I’m not saying the right words but I’m sure you know exactly what I’m talking about, she sold a few cigarettes and a little bit of food. I talked to her for about a year just being friends, and I would hear her grandfather come in and ask her does she have enough money to pay the electricity bill that month, sometimes I would talk to her for two hours at a time on Skype. Sometimes in the morning sometimes in the afternoon sometimes at night. I am retired so I had to time to spend. When they ate dinner they had just a little bit of rice and maybe a piece of chicken that all three of them shared, my fiancé took care of her grandparents and supported them totally with what she was selling, and her grandfather retirement but that wasn’t too much you speak up, I watched her for a while struggling and living up to the responsibility of taking care of her grandparents, her father and mother help to but she was the one who really took care of her grandparents, I built a really nice**store very big and she has everything that she could possibly want to sell to people, even cells close now. Sometimes she makes between three and 5,000 pesos a day,she saved every penny she could to get more inventory and more inventory and my God has she did wonders with that business, she don’t need nobody to support her no more she totally takes care of herself her grandparents and also helps her parents a lot.she tells me I would never have this if it wasn’t for you, and I told her don’t worry about that just worry about how you managed to business and keep doing exactly what you’re doing. And I did buy her truck to push you could go and get her supplies, I don’t know exactly her profit every day but she’s always buying nice clothes for her her grandfather her grandmother her mother and father she takes care of the whole family everybody kicks in to help run the store, she is the only one that really manages to store and picks up inventory from the city she lives way up in the mountains and she lives a beautiful life, all her neighbors for miles around comes to her store because she has so much of everything close shoes food Wi-Fi. It really doesn’t take that much money to set her up may be 8,000 and from the original inventory she has at least double that. Every year I like to go for about two months, and I have a time of my life I love her family they are beautiful people, the Philippines are really awesome people and they are very caring and sharing. I can’t wait to next October to go back. This time around I think I’m going to set her father in a welding business, he worked for a construction outfit and he is a welder a carpenter and a jack of all trades. I love that country it is so beautiful I could talk all day about it

  • When government gets involved You stop work for Yourself. Costs end up being spent on government regulations. You start working for them. The expenses are nickel and dimed and profits are lost. You end up losing Your Sovereignty (supreme power or authority).

  • Hat’s off to Jay in starting a business and to Derek in documenting the situation. That’s great that he can help his gf and her family sustain some sort of income from the business. Great job and kudos to you guys 👍. I’ve been to Baytanyan Island with my gf but was in the tourist areas, I like the island.🙂

  • @Q Adventures. What you think Derek next business adventure? Haha..
    Chickens make money lol..😂😂

  • You left out the cost of food, which will eat up most if not all of your profit. Chickens are considered commercially viable for 72 months or about a year and a half, and then their egg laying drops below the level that supports the food cost. At that time you can sell the chickens for food, but almost everyone wants the chickens processed before they will buy it. All in all, it’s just giving someone something to do because it will be equivalent to you handing them money. Raising pigs is approximately the same thing you put in all of that time and effort and you can only earn around $200 per pig for months of work and if one dies you’ll end up losing money. Farming in the Philippines is a hobby, not a job.

    • Ask a farmer how to make a million dollars. Start with 2 million and you may have a million left after 1 year. LOL. Good on you for putting the family in business. Most of the eggs here in Cebu City come from Bantayan Island. I have had a couple of girls approach me with business ideas over the years and I always ask for a business plan breaking down all expenses and income potential, marketing plan, etc. I have never received a business plan. A Filipina carer for a friend had 3 businesses, Sari-sari and bakery, and closing all because of losses. There is potential to make money but one needs to understand the business and competition.

    • Farming in the Philippines can be sustainable as a homestead, but to be commercially viable is unrealistic on a farm.

  • I love what they’re doing, but dang man answer a question directly. It takes like five minutes to get around to the question if he does it all 😂 no worries I’m just being funny

  • Good on you Jay for doing the right thing for your asawa, you give more you receive more in most cases lol

  • Native chickens are better for health. The feeds and antibiotics etc gets into the human body when eaten and cause all diseases.

  • Great video Derek. I have always liked Jay. He is definitely no show off but you can see he is a smart man. Well done to him. Truly amazing what he is doing.

  • damn dubai be paying cheap im from jamaica a third world country and make way more than that a month

  • You need to be sure that you are over there to guide them in creating the business because if you just send money over there there will never be a business. You’ve got to be there to make the business happen.

  • Free Range chickens are more work but the chickens eat the bugs and other incests, here I see chicken breasts that are HUGE because of the Hormones they are given. Nice seeing you Derek and Ai

  • Ash from burning wood and or charcoal ash ( not hot of course🤭😂) spread around ground is said to be good to deter mites and fleas 👍… in fact chickens will bathe in dry baths of it… true fact, can be checked online if unsure 😊

  • Such is the Beauty of the Philippines how Jay & Lorena made an Opportunity out of nothing making it into a muti-faceted business that has so much expansion and possibilities from selling eggs, to fertilizer from the poop to even having free range “Native” organic Chicken as one small investment and idea can Blossom into a Business Enterprise that can not only sustain his Filipina but also effect and entire family. Soon Jay’s Chickens (J&L inc) will be a growing going concern feeding other families and maybe even restaurants. Soon he can expand into pigs and hogs or his idea of 400 chicken quadruples the business. So if they are making 500-600 peso a day then 4 times that is $200 to $2400 day equals $60-$72K a month is $720K to $864K a year which is which could easily support several families in middle class lifestyle. That something out of nothing is pretty big.
