How many grain that we should give to a pigeon

Whenever you put corn , the pigeon will eat it. The pigeon is very tasty to eat the corn. In my country, the corn is one of the famous pigeon feed. I believe that the pigeon lover in US or Europe feed them with wheat and others. 

I think raising pigeon is not profitable, due the pigeon eat so many corn. The price of pigeon is only twenty five thousand rupiah or equivalent to about one half dollar. While the corn price reach 60 cent dollar or Ren thousands dollar. A pigeon can eat 50 gr a day so in a month, it can eat 1,5 kilograms and need about 0,9 Dollar. 

The price of the pigeon is not economic for the farmer but the corn price is so high. I psotponed to raise th epigeon due the corn price is so high . My brother inlaw has hundreds nice pigeon. at least je provide three scaks of corn. Off course he also has large field for his pigeonn.

Ohiki Japanese Long tail Bantam

Japanese are famous with the Long tailed Chicken Onagodori. This chicken could reach to ten meters. The Onagodori is a standard breed with long and slender body. 

Actually, there is Ohiki which has long tail too. The tail is not longer as it's big brothers Onagodori. The body is small . It is small as japanese Bantam. Some article written that the chicken is a descent both Onagodori and Japanese Bantams. 

There is not much literature about Ohiki. I have my friend pics who also the seller of some exotic chicken. 

Creeper is not a bantam

I have ever watched a short leg chicken but the it has long tail and the body is slender. The performance is similar to land race chicken. We can distinguish the chicken from it is leg. Although the chicken is almost similar to common chicken but the short leg is similar to bantam chickens. 

This could happen on any chicken. The creeper come from gene. The parent or the ancestor may inherent the chicken. In my opinion the creeper is not attractive. They have common body but the leg is shorter than common chicken. 

I have some picture that i believe a creeper too. I do not know whether the chicken is a bantam cross. The chicken si very nice the roster color is almost white.

Japanese Quail shows

Around two years ago, there are some quail exhibition in my country. People try to introduce a new hobby. The hobby is related to a singer quail. To me, quail singer os not good as  singer roster. Tend. Not beautiful melodies as roster. Surely. This is my opinion. The sound is cek..cek..cer. 

The sound of quail call is not attractive. Some people do not like the sound because it's sound very loudly. Well, some people love it and organize some exhibition. For a moment, the function of bird is not only for the eggs only but for show bird too.

The sound of the quail is ..cek ..cek cer.sometimes the quail repeat the call up to five times. The quail that often call is the winner. The winner will get trophy, certificate, and some money. The winner quail can increase the owner prestige.

By the way, the quail that is used for the exhibition in my country is Japanese Quail. This Quails is not a native quail in my country but it was imported from Japan. The Japan successfully produce high production layer quail.

limit the chicken on your backyard

My brother in law have risen some Chicks in his backyard. th

e amount of chicken including chicken include roaster layer and the chick. He rose Chicken just for fun.

One day, his sister has to roster but he always supposed because he loved the chicken so much did it finally most of chicken that after the parish. The rainy season in tropic country meaning Pierce coming. 

 I think that the traditional chicken parm must limit the check because the owner cannot control the peruse and they lack of the vaccine for chicken. 

 Selling the chicken is better than race in rainy season in my opinion, we must limit the chicken at the birth situation or bad climate. 

 I am afraid that a that young boy will stay here the chicken at night. Somebody at night not the cheapest also it or chicken with its up fang he can bring the chicken to the top of the branch of three. The red is also dangerous too because it could it the chicken pick.. unless you both a good cop you can race so much chicken and you can also bless some chicken at Large backyard.

Sentul Chicken : The Dual purpose Chicken from Ciamis

Indonesia has so many chicken variety. The chicken also has multi color too. It ia because Indonesia ia also a home for Chicken ancestor or red jungle fowl. There is a double purpose chicken which mean could produce either meat or egg. 

This chicken is very unique due, it is grey plumage. Some believe the Chicken is the descendants of snake. Of course , it is just a myth . The genetics not the snake cannot mixed with chicken genetics. This chicken is an excellent landrace chicken variety. There are some excellent chicken beside Sentil such as Pelung, Kedu, Merawang, and others.

Unfortunately, Indonesia breeders has not make standard of any landrace chicken. Most landrace chicken live at the village. The village people who raise the chicken do not care of the breed. The important that they have chicken that can be changed with money. There is no serious try to fix the standard of the chicken. 

I hope the government help to develop the chicken for people. I am sure the people want to breed the chicken as long they get incentive. The local government supposedly provide the chick also make some workshop to introduce the chicken.
