A hen lays egg twice in a day

 

Can a hen lay two eggs in a day? The answer is yes it can. Could a hen lay two eggs every day? The answer is it could not. Rarely, a hen lay egg twice in a day. It lay egg in the morning an in the afternoon. The second egg usually is “unperfect” egg. The shell’s egg is rotten and it could not be hatched. It could not be sold. No one buy the egg. Because the shell of the egg is to smooth, the shell cannot protect the egg from bacteria and pathogen. I am doubt to consume the egg. However, some chicken owner usually separates the egg directly from the clutch. They may fry it immediately.

Today the most productive is Austrolop which can lay 330 egg in year. Other  chicken like ISA brown lays 300 egg in a year. The Italian white leghorn also produce 300 egg a year.  I am very sure it is for two years only. After two years, the owner sells the old layer chicken. I wonder it must be tired for the layer hen produce 330 egg in years, the hen just “rest” 30 day in a year. Without sufficient nutrient, the hen must be suffered. Laying some egg, need high calcium nutrient and also high protein nutrient.

The hen must need rest too. In my opinion the 250 eggs in a year is an ideal. The hen gets enough rest from laying eggs. The quality of the egg is good too. The chicken gets 115 for rest. As human we also consider the rest for the chicken as the animal welfare. When we treat them well, they will give the best egg to us. The chicken is not a machine that can produce what you want. The chicken is also a living that we should teat them well.

 

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.

Bald Chciken

Frizzle Chicken

Black Silkie Chiken: The unique Black Chicken

This hairy-like feather chicken is unique to me because it has black plumage like Java chicken. The origin of the chicken is China or Japan. Either Japan or Chinese claim that the chicken came from their country. 

The Black has the black skin and meat. Some people do not like the color of the skin. The bone is also black. That is why people als call the black boned.

 The face is black and the earlobes are blue turquoise in color. The chicken has rose comb. Beyond the comb, we can see the crested.

The chicken is good for show bird due to its beatiful chicken. They are very tame and they cannot fly so they are easy prey for some predators such as bird, civet, cat and so on. The bird is easy to hand.

The Black silkie is not a good meat producer because it weight is not more than one kilogram. However Chinese people believe that the meat is good for health. They eat the silkie meat to cure some diseases.  It is difficult to believe it but some people eat it.

The black silkie is very beautiful to me though this chicken is not famous as the white one. The chicken often crosses the black with the white to get the blue silkie or the grey silkie. 

Five Toes Chicken

How many the chicken toes? We must answer four. The chicken contain four toes that three in front and one at the back. Those toes are useful to find the food at the soil.    Many years ago, I have ever seen some chicken has five toes that is different to common chicken. My neighbor who also the chicken trades has at least five roosters which have five toes. The chicken is a landrace chicken which is also the Red Jungle Fowl Gallus Gallus descendant and the Rhode Island.

The chicken is not similar to ancestor because the red and the Rhode has four toes only. Perhaps the mutation occurs in the chicken. However, some chicken class has five toes such as :

1. Silky Chicken

The beautiful soft plumage chicken comes from Chinese. The chicken color is white, black, and partridge. Some breeders also produce the grey and blue variant. The Chicken has five toes. Some chicken has feathered shanks, but some others are not. 

2. Feverolles

The chicken is so large. Beside its beard, the chicken also has five toes. The chicken is big like Rhode Island redthat is raise for its meats or eggs

3. Dorking

The chicken from Britain but it is developed at German. The Dorking color is grey, silver, white and others. The chicken has five toes and it is a good meat producer.

4. Houdan

This is a uniquely chicken from French that is descendant so much chicken such as Dorking, Silky and Polish. The chicken has backward flowing crest up front its head. The size chicken is mid size. They have five toes like its ancestors silky and Dorking. The bird is raised as a show bird.
