Pictures of the difference between roosters and hens

The pictures of the difference between roosters and hens are as follows:

1. Look at the combs. The rooster's comb is larger, and the hen's comb is much smaller.

2. Look at the hair on the chicken’s tail. The hair on the rooster's tail is more upright and stylish, while the hair on the hen's tail is shorter and more delicate.

3. Look at the color of chicken feathers. Roosters are more colorful, while hens are more uniform and plain in color.

Precautions for raising chickens:

1. Poor cold resistance. The body temperature of newly hatched chicks is 3℃ lower than that of adult chickens. It takes 10 days to reach normal body temperature. In addition, Chicks have short and sparse villi that cannot withstand the cold, so they are not very adaptable to the environment. They must rely on artificial insulation for normal growth and development. Chicks between 1 and 30 days old must be kept warm and raised in a clean and hygienic environment. For chicks that are over 30 days old, their feathers are basically full and full, so they do not need to be kept warm.

2. High body temperature and rapid development. Generally, the body temperature of chickens is between 40.8-41.5℃, so they must be raised in a well-ventilated environment with warm winters and cool summers. In addition, chickens have short digestive tracts and poor metabolism. They are vigorous and grow rapidly, so they must be fed nutritious and easily digestible feed to meet their needs.

3. Weak resistance, especially chicks, are easily attacked by harmful microorganisms. Therefore, in addition to keeping the environment clean and hygienic, we must also do preventive work. For example, outsiders are strictly prohibited from entering and exiting the chicken house, the environment and cages must be disinfected, and all chickens must be regularly injected with various vaccinations.

4. Chickens are easily frightened, and chickens are timid. Especially young chickens are easy to frighten. In mild cases, they may be crowded, causing growth and development to be stunted. In severe cases, they may trample on each other, causing disability and death. Therefore, raise chickens in a quiet place. Rough management, sudden noise, intrusion of dogs and cats, seizures, etc. can cause disturbances in the chickens and affect growth.
