Roste find rooster in other flock

Rostet need some hen. In normal , a roster need at least 6-10 hens. While some bantam juat live with one siblings in its small cage. When A Roster does not have hen , he will find the hen. 

Like story in Upin Ipin. a roster called Rambo lost. Datok find Rambo everywhere. Upin and Ipin has suspected a cat or civet has eat Rambo. The cat usually bot eat a roster. The cat could eat the small chicken . Some cat afraid to large roster pr angry hen. They do not want to close with them. On the other hand, civet could bring any chiken to top of the tree and eat them. 

Finally, Rambo found. Upin and Ipin said that Rambo have been found in neighbor's house where there were some hen. 

Rambo want to visit the heb. What Rambo has dones is an animal instinct. The animal should survive and has to multiply before death. 

When your chicken has no sibling. They nau find the sibling. A free range roster nah find the hen where is not far from them. They can liste the other hand sound. Some roster crow to tell other chicken that he is the owner of the land. Of course, he lalso tell to other hen.

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.

Red Shaver, Canada chicken breed that lay super jumbo eggs

Unlike it neighbor, Canada does not have much chicken breed.  Canada has two chicken breed i.e. Chantencler and Red Shaver. Red shaver is a linked sex chicken from Canada. Because of this, we can sexing the chicken easily from its feather. The female is reddish brown in color with white under feather; while, the male color is white with a few red marking. 
The chicken comb is single. The male has larger comb than the female. At 18 weeks or 4 month, the chicken is 3 ½ ponds. After a year, the chicken is 4 ½ to 5 pounds in weight. The carcass of the chicken is three to five pounds in weight.
The Red shaver can produce delicious meat and so much egg, which means the chicken, is dual purpose breed like Rhode Island Red. The female or hen lay from 305 to 315 big brown eggs in a year. The Red performance is a good as white leghorn chicken.  A report from Ottawa said that A four year Red Shaver lay super egg weighing  143 gram, which  is nearly three time of medium standard size or over two time of jumbo standard size (The medium standard is 49 gram and The jumbos standard is 70 gram). The big egg is enough for a big omelet.
A Red Shaver is a quiet breed. You can raise it at your backyard because it is used most frequently on in small flocks for small farms.  The chicken is also has have reputation as a hardy chicken.

Roosters take care of chicken

Naturally, the hen raise the chick until they independent. In some case, a rooster often take care of chicken. It lead the chicken to find the food at the yard. Few weeks ago, I had seen the roster raise 5-6 little chicken. He teach the chick to find the food on yard.
I do not know whether the rooster warm the chicks. I do not saw the chicken cage. I think the chicken will not want to close the roosters.
I saw the rooster often bullying the chicken. He beat the back head of the chick. Perhaps, the rooster want to punish the little chicken.

How to keep your hen laying in winter

In cold winter, hen is difficult to lay. Some chicken cannot lay in winter like Mediterranean class or Asia Class. Naturally, a hen will stop laying in winter. They need to rest their body that it is important for the body. For backyard chicken, you have better to rest your chicken rather than forcing it to lay.

If you have a flock for business, you can "force" the eggs to lay. It is because you will lose if they take the rest. They still must pay for chicken food, human, electric, and others.

If you still want to produce eggs in winter, you can do like this:

1. Add additional light in the cage. It can reduce their cold suffered in winter.

2. Provide warm water. Do not let the water frozen. Lack of water can make the chicken stop to lay. You can put electric dog bowl that keep the water frozen. You can replace the water often.

3. Food the chicken food with high protein. They need consumption for carbohydrate to warm their body.  They also need protein and calcium that is very important for egg production. Some article suggest kitchen chow and grind with cracked corn. I think it is not good because kitten chow can affect the taste of egg. You should buy the food at poultry shop or you can mix high protein chicken food. The protein for food is: soy, meat powder, fish powder, and more.

4. The air circulation must be good. Make a good ventilation system so the hen can breath well. Do not close the coop so the air cannot in or out.

5. Put hay inside the coop so the hen can lay in it. It can make the chicken warm.

Notice: Force your hen lay in winter could be loss you. To make the hen lays in winter, you need to provide additional food, light and human power. You must pay more for labor too because only few people who want works in winter. Therefore, you need to calculate the benefit of laying eggs in winter. Compare the cost with the egg prices.
