Raising Chicken Experience
 My father had a friend in the Bureau of Animal Industry. He said they have this project of
supplying people with farm animal packaged with supply of feeds for forty five days, enough to
let the chicken grow, lay eggs and multiply. In return, the individuals who will benefit from the
project will give back the said numbers of chicks and feeds.
The family took the opportunity. His friend delivered to us 12 pairs of 2-weeks old chicks
and feeds. The chicks grow into hens and roosters and doubled its number, following the
instruction of how to grow them.
Not only did we learn how to grow New Hampshire breed of chickens, but became self
sufficient in eggs and meat of chickens. We sold them too. After a few months, we returned what
we have received from the Bureau of Animal Industry for others to benefit too.

things like newspaper, mineral water, candies, softdrinks, sandwiches and more. These are
examples of retail stores. The goal of the retail store and retailing is to sell goods and provide
services to consumers for profit.

Factors to Consider when Opening a Retail Store

opening a sari-sari store:
1. Capital – this is the amount of money spent to operate a store.

located. Sell products that do not spoil easily, like canned goods and school supplies.

retail stores.

Public Health ) particularly if your store will sell food. Registration will give you a license to
operate the store. Violating the law on the opening of a store is punishable by law.
