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.

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.
