Goose as Alarm for your house

 I have watched  YouTube Brazilian reason use the ghost as the guard. They raise a flock of geese that contains so many geese to guard the prisoner we

know that this has some love song when someone appear  in front of them.

I remember that my stepmother house me is at the proud of Uncle restaurant her live at urban settlement that is suspected so many criminal after many restaurant by the bad people. they are pretend to be a Buyer or the visitor and then they grab cash many at the box.



When a criminal can to the restaurant The block of this sound cloud di and it wake all the restaurant people. Some The pretender I'm in the Robert who written as the visitor are not there to grab restaurant money. 

He is the best is get at least two benefit we get the price meet and the security o using this not guarantee a hundred percent  the security but it can because The rise of the robbery.
Previous article said that a group of turkey cannot lay any chick. I remember my grandfathet also had some turkey that did not lay any eggs.

Can a Hen crow

The above question in tittle may confusude you? The Roster usually can crow. Itis uncommon that a hen can crow. Some Roster crow in the morning to wake up the owner or other people. You must have read the lazy man or drunked ma throw a sandals or shoes to make the crow silent. 


Well, some hen can crow. The crowed hen is good for the female stock of bekisar chicken. They believe the crowed hen can descent to the kid or Ayam Bekisar. The hen crow is shorter than the rosters. I have raise a hen of ayam ketawa or laughing chicken. She has short crow that I like it. 


The hen alsonsome eggs. I guess she lay at least 8+10. Unfortunately, I have no rosters so the egg is infertile. The hen is also beautiful with brown buff feathered and yellow shank. There is a single folded comb. Actually, the hen woild be paired with golden feather local chicken. The space is so limited that is difficult to build the coop at my house. 


The hen crow is rerel but it is not special. The chicken lover does not find the hen crower except the bekisar breeder who fond of the crowed he n. The crowed hen cannot be participated in crowing chicken contest. The oartcipat of Contes must be rosters.

What looks Red Jungle Fowl Likes

What is the different of the jungle fowl to common fowl? My mother said that the feet or shank of the jungle fowl is black. At the time , I imagine the red jungle fowl was bantam. I had opinion that bantam eas the Jungle Fowl. My mother also add the description of the jungle fowl is so shorter than common chicken. 



My mother lived at village where her father have duty as wedana (major in English). She said the forest had so many wild animal such as Elephant, Tiger, Deer, Mouse Deer., and so on. She had are some deer meat that is very delicious. Cergay she also said there were so many ted jungle fowl Gallus Bankiva. I forgot what my mother said about the color of the Jungle Fowl.



Ini Sumatra, there is only one kind of jungle fowl, i.e. Red Jungle Fowl. The color of the roster is black breasted red. The dominant color is red. Actually the red is not actually red blood but red orange. The lower body from the front of neck to the tails is black irisdicent greent. That is  color of the parent of all chicken. Perhaps this most iconic color for chicken . 



Today, we can find some various ancestor. The size and shape is various. The smallest bantam is very light, compare to giant Brazilian Chicken Indio Gigante. There are some chicken that still similiar with is ancestor like the chicken in this blog post. The chicken color and body is similar to the ancestor. We called its ayam kampung. Some Ayam Kampung similiar to its ancestor. They have some color and the comb. Certainly, they cannot fly like the Jungle fowl but they can jump. They also produce more egg and meat. 



Sometimes , I ask my self. Why some chicken in human house. Were the chicken voluntarily go to the human. Well, some chicken still in jungle and enjoy live at there. Were the human catch the chicken and detained the chicken ini the coop ? We do not know well about it.

Cross the Spotted Dove With Fan Tail pigeon

I have ever raise Spotted Dove (Spilopoa Chinese) in my  house. Most of them released from my bird cage . This bird is the family of rock dove too. It is a common practice to cross the bird with common pigeon or rock dove. The result is spotted dove that is more tame than the spotted dove. The hybrid is also bugger than the spotted but the sound is louder than thespitted dove.


The spotted dove also cross to Eurasian Ring Neck Pigeon that also result the better bird. Either The spotted and Ring Neck are nervous. They may hit the cage when you approach them. 


I wonder to cross the Spotted with Indian Fan Tail Pigeon or American Pigeon Tail that result amazing Fan Tail Spotted dove. I have not found the spotted Dove Fan Tail. It must be rare breed and it must be expensive. 


I am very doubt to produce it because the fan tail is a recessive gen. I have heard that cross common pigeon to the fantail result the hybrid that is similiar to common pigeon. It must be difficult to get the fan tail from the pigeon. 

Perhaps cross the hybrid with the fab tail pigeon may produce the fan tail too. I do not know . Perhaps one day I should try it.

Cross local chicken to US Standard Chicken

My country is is not a  developed country as United States or other country which has chicken standard. In other words, our country is under deliver country. I amazed that United States has dozen standard Chicken. I believe my country Indonesia where the home of the parents of All Chicken Red Jungle fowl has so many breed chicken. Unfortunately, we have no standard for the chicken. Indonesia has Most expensive Chicken Cemani and the big beautiful song crower Pelung. 


With limited scientist , we develop some breed of chicken but we do not have standard of the chicken so the outside use our chicken and claim as a new breed. Unfortunately, for the Indonesian people who do not make some standard for its Chicken. 


Some chicken owner also , cross the chicken . I also have the Sebrught bantam that is crossed to local native bantam. I suspect the chicken is sterile. The roster cannot produce any chick. I heard from the genetics expert that some Cross breed cannot produce the kid. That is why you should be careful when cross the chicken to make a new breed. 


I also join the hybrid chicken group in Facebook. The group is a market pace for crossbreed chicken. I saw there some unique chicken and it is a new opportunity of a business. The price is higher than the common or standard breed of chicken.


Last days, I saw two big rosters that I suspected it crossbreed. I estimate those two buff chicken is descent of Rhode Island. In my country there some chicken breed that is similiar to Rhodes Island Breed such as Ayam Merawang from Bangka and Ayam Nununkan from Kalimantan .

Raise Chicken in Graveyard

Previous post, I write about rasing chicken on filed that is dangerous. The field contain toxic material that could harm for the chicken. Either meat or egg of the chicken must be not health. Beside field, some chicken also live in graveyard. 


The owner whi has house near graveyard release the chicken or at least let the chicken play at the gravel. There is no law that forbid chicken or the chicken owner release the chicken at graveyard. 


I am worried there soen bad or negative effect from it. The graveyard usually a clean place. Unlike a field. There is no rubbish at there. The chicken just disturb the people who pilgrim to the graveyard. The chicken also release the manure at the graveyard that may bad for some people.


The graveyard is a little forrest for city where's there some tree at there. The tree cover the graveyard and it also a house for some little things such as insect and worm that the chicken like it. 


In my country there is no rule that forbid the chicken. The chicken canbenter the graveyard anytime they like. Certainly, the owner must be rong due allow or release the chicken near the graveyard that allow the chicken enter and make manure on it. I believe in some country the owner get fine or jailed. The owner that release chicken to the park or some kind of it must be punished.

Rumpless or tailless chicken

Chicken without tail feather must be weird chicken. This chicken unique due to the chicken has no tail. Do not generalize the chicken with short tail. The rumpless really has no tail. 


The rumpless phenomenal could happen because the genetical mutation that change the performance of the chicken. Without a tail, the chicken is not complete. The function of the tail is a brake when it fly. Some domestic chicken has flying ability and the tail function could help the chicken to stop in certain distance. 


The rumpless may not attract most chicken lovet. Do the lack of tails. Tha absence of its tail reduce the performance of the chicken. Some chickenbhas beautiful long tail that is very expensive. However, few chicken lover must like the chicken. 


The rumpless could occur in any chicken breed . I do not believe the rumpless occur in jungle fowl because it must be difficult for the chicken live without tail in jungle. They have to fly at the jungle. 


The most chicken breed that has so many rumpless is Araucana. The Aracauna that lays green egg show the tall least .


Do it worry the rumpless is recessive genetics. You must difficult to find this bird. You can get the rumpless only when you mate the rumpless chicken or two chicken that has rumpless genetics.

Raise Chicken in landfill

 i took the photo at the landfill, where there is a lot waste and rubiish on there. this place is a transift before any rubbish dump in final place. there are so many plastic that you can see at the photo. you must be difficult to find any chicken in this photo. 


It is common prcatice in underdeveloped country to raise chicken or cattle in landfill. it is cheaper than raise chicken in the flock. 


There are some risk raise chicken in the landfil such as: 


1. disease transmition. the landfill is full of disease. the chicken eat the rubbish may bring some danger diseases such as salmonellea and avian flu


2.the lack of nutrition . rubbish is bad food and lack of nutirion. 


3. i believe there is such toxic in landfill. the pestiside can kill the chciken. 


4. the chicken also spread the waste. they use the feed to find but it spread the waste 


5. Either the Meat and the egg is not health. what chicken eat influence the meat and egg quality.

The Indio Gigante Competitor

I thought that the Indio Gigante is similar to Ayam Pelung in size. I had two Pelung rosters that tall almost one meters. Actually , I am not very sure the tall of my chicken. I read some literature that Ayam pelung tall is less than a meter. Finding one meter tall must be hard work. 


I suspected There is a pelung that reach one meter. In the Indonesian agriculture ministry said that the tall of the chicken is 40-50 cm or half of the Indio Gigante. The Chicken is not equivalent competitor for The Giant. 


I ask chat ai , what chicken breed that is equivalent counterpart of Indio Gigante. Unfortunately these chickens are not better  Ayam Pelung. The other competitor weigh 5-6 in average, meaning the weigh is not different to Ayam Pelung. 


One of competitor is Jersey Giant , that's is from Jersey United States. As the Giant , it weighs up to 6 kilogram . The tall is not tall as the Indio. Perhaps this is the second rank of size Chicken. .Jersey tall is about  55-66 cm or 22-26 inch. the Jersey Gianyis taller than Ayam Pelung but shorter than Indio Gigante. 


There is also Brahma. I have write about the chicken in my previous post. Though the name of the Chicken sounds India, the chicken originated  from United States. The full feathered Chicken from the feet and legs to the head. The thick feather cover it's body. It is tall about the chicken. This chicken is meat purpose, meaning the chicken for table 


Other competitor is Cornish. The chicken is originated in English. it weighs to five kilogram. The Cornish is a parent stock or Broiler Chicken. It famous by its wide broad breast. 


Don't forget the Malay that also the parent of Indio Gigante. Though not tall as the Indio but the chicken descent the upright posture to the Indio. This chicken looks like fighter.

Why some single comb chicken leaf over?

the comb is the crown of the chicken. It's attract some chicken hobbyist. The red blood color make the chicken looks handsome. As the chicken comb grow up they look leaf over especially the single. We rarely find some chicken comb leaf over such as pea, cushion and other. I saw this case happen in rose comb such as silkie chicken. 

The comb is full of blood capiller and gel. The function of comb to keep the chicken body temperature. It is important part of chicken body. Without comb chicken may leave but it is not beautiful as the chicken that has red blood single comb. 

The leaf over could happen as the chicken grow. You may not see the young chicken comb leaf over. The older chicken that age more than two years suffered comb leaf over.. the pension of chicken layer also suffer comb leaf over but it is not visible as the what happen in rosters due the small size of the hen comb. The comb could not cover the chicken hen. 

Some chicken leaf over because the fighting. A roster may break the other roster camb. The kick of the rosters is strong enough to damage the chicken comb. That is why , the game rosters owner do not like single comb game chicken. In my hometown, there is a prcatidce of cutting comb. To me, it is not good. It could torture the chicken. you are better to buy other chicken rather than cut the comb the chicken . I do not whether the cutting of chicken comb is forbidden in overseas.

Egyptian Pigeon Tower: Raise thousand pigeon in high building

 I have read a book about pigeon tower in Bahasa Indonesia. The Book content is about how to build a tower pigeon. I believe today there is no pigeon tower in my country Indonesia because the region is not appropriate with the tower. Building it needs so much mud and bricks to build it. 


I wonder how to feed so many pigeons there? it must be bothered. you need abundant pigeon grain to fulfill their need. how many times feed them. An article said that it just need once or two times a day. Well, lack or insufficient feed makes the bird run from the loft or tower. Pigeon is a pragmatism bird. they will find any owner that so kind ti them.


I also wonder how to clean it. It is need so many people to clean the huge tower that contain so many pigeon. I also wonder how the owner harvest the squab. Are they catch the old pigeon or the younger one? The pigeon meat is delicious and it is the good cuisine in Egypt. 


I am afraid use the tower make you lose. In other word, you have to provide money for the tower. You need some worker to manage the tower and the revenue is not equivalent to the cost. 


the tower is very beautiful. this make Egyptian more beautiful.

My pair bantam did not produce any chick

Dozen years ago, I had a pair of bantam. The bantam is descent of Sebrught Bantam. The breeder cross the Sebrught with the local or native bantam. I do not know whether tey used Sebrught Rosters or Sebrught Hen. 

The rosters is so handsome with yellow golden color . There are sickle tail feather that different to the Sebrught. All of Sebrught has no sickle feather. Less than a month , the whetaen with white spot died. I am very sad at the time. 

Few month later , I bought white bantam hen
 This hen ia older than the rosters. I hope the hen lays so many eggs. Later the hen lays egg but the roster eat the egg and also the hen. My uncle said that the chicken live in limited space. My uncle who also barber is an experienced chicken breeder. He risen so many chicken especially game chicken. Yes , I just have limited spaces that is not appropriate with the chicken. In free range, he can jump and fly. My rosters has ability to fly too. After month, he never fly again in my house. 

Beside, the space, there are some reason the chicken do not produce the chicken though it's still lays some eggs. The younger rosters that is inexperienced in mating also cannot fertilize the egg. The owner should wait patiently untuk the chicken grow. Is suspected my rosters was young. I estimate the age is half year. Some literature said that the rosters should at least age a year. 

The problem is also insufficient nutrient. Feeding them with bad qualityor low quality chicken feed make your chicken difficulty lay eggs. Moreover, the chicken live in small spaces. They cannot finding any food such as insectz grass, or weed.

The manouvre of roller pigeon.

The roller is not popular in my country. the pigeon lover loves high flyer pigeon. As the pigeon fly high . The pigeon better. There are some contesst of high fly but I am curious that the contest is connected to gambling. The pigeon that first come to the target and fly high is the winner. The price reach $10,000, compared to common the high flying that is only $10. 

Back to roller. Only few people that raise the pigeon. The roller is imported from outside. We do not recognize the roller in my country. I just saw the bird from television or YouTube that the bird can roll and roll back either in air or in the land. The parlor roller is a pigeon breed that can tumbling either in air or in the ground. But they like to tumb on the ground. Meanwhile the Birmingham roller only show back roll manouvre in air only. 

The roller is an adaptation behaviour of the bird to evade from the Buzzard Attack. The Buzzard has high speed and easily caught the pigeon with is speed. Therefore the roller can manouvre to evade from the Buzzard Claw. 

This adaptation does not appear in Pigeon in our country. Perhaps the Buzzard is different in my country. The pigeon also not need to hide from a buzzard. 

There is contest in roller pigeon. The owner whistling the bird and the pigeons start rolling in sky. What a beautiful movement. I amazed the bird can understand the order of its boss.

This bird is not different to rock dove. The bird has short face that is sometimes called shirt face tumbler. The beaks is so short. I think the short face is adaptable psychical of the bird. We can say only the short face that has ability roll. 

I was so wrong . The roller is not adaptable way to evade from Buzzard. The roller movement may make the Buzzard disorient but the pigeon also suffer disorient that may get caught by the Buzzard. This bird are dedicated for hobbyist only that is why you should careful to raise the bird especially your house have so many pigeon's enemy.

how to give sign to your free range chicken

In my country people raise the chicken in fre range. In urban city such as Jakarta people still raise the chicken in free range.  Actually, the capital government has forbid raise chicken since the avian influence came. The citizen should slaughter that chicken ithey can send to the capital government. There is no other rule that retreat the law so the status still forbidden, meaning Jakarta citizen is not allowed raise chicken 


However people still raise chicken.  sometimes the chicken change. We are difficult to identify our chicken . Certainly, the other people also difficult to identify the chicken . That is why the people should sign the chicken. Off course , you do not have to use hot iron to. Make sign. On your chicken . My mother just cut its tail to make our chicken different to other. Off course in a month the chicken rail recover back. This way is not effective or what my mother donde was not effective. 


Some people tied the wong with factory. It does not harmful for chicken. The factory make the chicken different to other. The owner can claim. The chicken. This way is not hindered percent effective but it decrease the probability the chicken changed with other chicken. We can recognize the chicken from other people chicken. 


The chicken that is reiase in free range is not expensive but cheap. You can but it by providing $ 10 only. So this chicken just for table chicken only. Do not ask the hygiene of the chicken. They live in fre range that is contain of rubbish. We do not know any rubbish at the rubbish place. 


For the show chicken or game chicken, the owner would not release the chicken in free range. They take the chicken carefully. They provide limited range and always guard the chicken.

Old German Owl Pigeon: The Pigeon from German

 German also breed some famous pigeon breed. That i have write about german homer pigeon. today i write the a german fancy pigeon that i think is similiar to the Satineete due to the small head relative to its body. The wing color is blue ash with double bar at the midlle of the wing. The remain feather color is white. There are some various of the color such as ash, red, brown, spread, white, and dilutes of same bas color


This pigeon is German owl. it called owl, referring its similarity face to owl. do not imagine the bird face is similar to big eye owl. the owl pigeon does not have big eye. 

German Owl Pigeon


The bird is just for exhibition only. there is notes for the ability of flying of the bird. They may just have ability like other pigeon too. i believe this bird has no acrobat flying ability like tumblr pigeon. 


The bird is descent of the short faced German Shield Owl. Not surprisingly, the face of this German owl also short too. the beak also short. There are some exhibition for the bird there are some judgment. 


For example the frill of the plumage is one of the criterion of the judgment.  The broad breast is also one judgement for this nice bird. all the part of body is also judgement.

My Grandfather's turkey have not laid egg

 My grandfather brought at least three turkey that consist a tom and two hens. He love raising so many pet. At his house., he had so many bird such as chicken. The chicken that i remember is Vietnamese bald neck chicken. Either roster and hen are bald neck . The chicken was also bald neck that made me laugh.. The bird that provide the egg is Indian runner. At least my grandpa also had thirty Indian runner duck. I remember there is a black that is similar to Cayuga duck. There is also a flock  geese .



I love live at my grandparents house. The problem is the turkey have not lay the eggs. I suspected the seller sold the sterile hen that cannot lay any eggs. At the time, merely people risen turkey because they could not cook the turkey. On the other hand , chicken is simple to cook.

I browsed and find some reason that the make turkey do not lay eggs. the article said that turkey lays egg at 7 month. i believe my grandfather turkey has reach maturity but it have nit laid egg.

Using the Turkey Tail Feather as the Pen

 My friend of my friend used the turkey tail feather for pen. he written the book with it. Certainly, the feather just for the ballpoint casing only. He did not use it as fountain ink pen that is used by the people who live before 18th century. 

To me it is very nice and its attract the other people. People want to use it. Unfortunately, finding the turkey feather is not easy. my country is not United States where we can easily find turkey at there. my friend of my friend  get the feather from its own turkey. he had at least a group that contain a silver color male and two hen. Unfortunately, the turkey had not lay egg until he remove from the town. 

I am afraid that the turkey is sterile. I remember that grandfather also has a group of turkey that never lays any egg. perhaps the Indonesian hot climate is not fit with the turkey. Today we easily find this bird in Indonesia too.

Back to the feather story, i saw the male Muscovy duck has big feathe too. i got from the  duck. the wing cpover fteaher is so long that similiar to turkey but the shape is not straight as the turkey feather. i cut the edge and replace it with the ballpoin refill and i enjoy using it.

La Fleche : Horn like comb Black Chicken From French


 La Fleche Chicken 


I have never saw any chicken that have horn like comb in my country. i just saw it from internet. Some Poland chicken also have unique horn-like comb or V shaped chicken. Due its big ball crest, the v shaped on Poland Chicken is less visible. on the other hand, you can see the clearly of v shaped comb in La Flenche Chicken. 

The chicken is medium size or moderate size, meaning this breed is suitable for meat and egg production. the hen can lays medium size egg 150-200 egg a year. Well, some chicken can lay up to 250 egg a year. 

The chicken is only available in black feather only. Its contrast with red blood wattle and white earlobes. in my opinion the face is almost Andalusia white face. Certainly, the white color in this chicken is small part in its face. 

La Fleche was a dual purpose chicken breed. Today people raise it as show chickens only. The bird is rare. Perhaps people prefer to other breed that can produce more egg and meat.

My chicken plucks its own feather

 

I feel so pity my chicken pluck its own feather. It also eats the feather. I feel so guilty to see my chicken done it. Is suspect I have some mistake in raising them. Well, I raise in large enough coop. the air is so fresh but I cannot guarantee the air quality of my town is good. There are so many factory and vehicles that make the air is so bad.

Raise a chicken or some chicken in my house is not suitable. The weather is so hot. It sunny season and the rain is so low. The extreme of weather make the chicken pluck their own feather.

Actually, the house is little. We are lack of the free space. I dream someday I have large enough house where I can raise two or three chicken at there.

There is some reason why chicken pluck their own feather. One reason is mites and parasites. The mites make the chicken discomfort. The chicken plucks the feather in order to remove the mites from its feather.



Some chicken just gets one kind of chicken feed that is lack of nutrients. They chicken eat its feather in order to fulfil the nutrient need. The owner should provide various chicken feed or they can raise the chicken at free range that provide so many chicken feed. At the limited place, a chicken just receive food from it’s own master. Sometimes we find the owner just feed them with rice or pollard only.

Live in limited place also make the chicken bore. They become stressed. The chicken usually lives in a group or pen, where they can interact to other and it make them happy. With limited place they can go to anywhere and find some food out there. Plucking its own feather make them have a job to reduce its stress. Certainly, it hurt them.

Black Chicken is not Black Color

 

I have some nice black chicken. MY hen was that i remember is the black chicken from our neighbor. My neighbour gave a pullet to whoever help him in his party. in underdeveloped country, we also help our neighbour to cook at neighbor’s party for celebrate something.

I raise the hen for some month. I wash the chicken with detergent. My mother was so sorry. but i saw some green and purple colour that sometimes appear. the black chicken feathers are known to have reflection of purple and green in the sun



i can say that is no pure black color chicken because they also reflect the green or purple color. even cemani chicken. the color actually is not black or ebony but you can still see the purple color and green color at the neck, saddle, wing and the tail feather. Mostly the male also shows the color. it makes the chicken look beautiful

it is the characteristics of the fowl feather. You can also see the purple and green at the pigeon neck. the male usually lighter than the female. it is identity of the male pigeon.

We can also saw the purple and the green. the phenomena is iridescent, when a colour change the angle.
