Today we visited the chicken house again, hoping for some more productive results. The owner of the "farm" was there, and he answered some questions for us. Some of the things we found were::
*There are 2500 Big Chickens
*There are 2000 smaller chicks
*There are 12 square meters of space
*It is Rp.13,000 for one chicken
*The chicken food is called DB-1 Crumble
*The chickens grow until they are 45 days old, when they are slaughtered
*Food is provided by a "trusted source" to the farm once every week
*The chickens get fed twice a day
*The chickens are slaughtered in the traditional way, by the cutting of an artery rather than total decapitation
*The buisness has been running for three years
*Every week an injection vaccine is given to the chickens
*Vitamins and vaccines are given in the water
*If the chicken is sick, they take it away and medicate it before being sold
*The small chickens at the farm were 18 days old
*The large chickens at the farm were 24 days old
