How to distinguish male and female chicks?

You can tell a chicken's head from its ass. See the figure below.

1, interesting

When buying chickens, there will be a large group of chickens that look alike in the basket of the chicken vendor. At this time, if you want to find a little hen from it, you must look at it first. The so-called look is to look at the position of the comb on their heads. Because the comb of an adult cock is many times larger than that of a hen, it is different since childhood. Although their cockscomb is not as obvious as that of adult chickens, you can see the pink cockscomb by carefully pulling the hair off the top of your head. In contrast, a chicken of the same size has a hen with a small comb but a rooster.

2, look at the ass

Chicken is a kind of birds, and the reproductive organs and excretory organs of birds are two in one, called cloaca. Although the cloaca of chicken is not particularly developed, as long as the chicken has the ability to excrete, its cloaca has its own characteristics, and the cloaca of chicken is different according to gender.

When we catch a chicken and pluck the hair near its cloaca, if we see that its cloaca is sharp and then gently knead it with our hands, it must be a rooster. If its cloaca is not obvious and it is deformed by squeezing, it is a hen. This method has almost no error rate, and it is also the best method for professional chicken selection.

Matters needing attention in raising chickens

1, pay attention to the chickens

Novices should first pay attention to the choice of chickens. It is best to buy chicken in a regular store, and the quality is guaranteed. You must not choose some low-quality chickens for the sake of cheapness, because these chickens are prone to poor growth and development during the feeding process.

Step 2 pay attention to feeding

The most important thing for novice chickens is to pay attention to feeding, which is related to the healthy growth and development of chickens. When buying chicken feed, you should choose the feed produced by regular manufacturers, and don't eat moldy and rotten food. It is best to feed it regularly and quantitatively, and ensure that chickens have enough water when they are raised.

Step 3 clean the henhouse

Whether the henhouse is clean or not is closely related to the health of chickens. Therefore, novices should also pay attention to the cleanliness of chicken houses when raising chickens. It is necessary to keep the chicken house dry and ventilated every day, and avoid putting the chicken in a hot environment. During the breeding period, the henhouse should be cleaned and disinfected regularly to avoid a large number of germs.
