The editor quietly asks everyone a question: do you know what the Royal Empress Chicken is? The Royal Empress Chicken is also known as the Lady Chicken. It originated with the British royal family, wears a phoenix crown on its head, and is clad in black-and-white speckled feathers, naturally beautiful - does it not feel very imperial? It was named “Royal Empress Chicken” by the British royal family, could be kept for court viewing and imperial use, and commoners were forbidden to raise it, which shows how noble it is.
Scientific farming techniques for the Royal Empress Chicken
1. Do a good job of seed selection. Carry out the 1st selection at around 90 days of age, keeping roosters and hens with complete appearance traits and body weights meeting the standard as reserve breeding chickens, and selling the other chickens as commercial meat chickens. Carry out the 2nd selection at 180 days of age, requiring roosters to be agile in movement and strong in libido; hens to have bright, spirited eyes, move flexibly, and be moderate in fat and leanness.
2. Feed and drinking water. Reserve breeding chickens can be restrictively fed with young laying hen feed, fed 2 times a day, about 100 grams per bird per day. Laying hens can be fed laying hen feed with 2% imported fishmeal and 5% feed yeast powder added, fed 3 times a day, 125 grams per bird per day. Supply clean drinking water all day.
3. Strengthen management. Density: reserve breeding chickens are raised at 8-10 birds per sq m inside the house, and there should be an exercise yard outside at least 1 time larger than the house. Laying hens are raised at 4-5 birds per sq m inside the house, with 100-150 birds per flock as appropriate. The male-to-female ratio is 1:7-8, and the service life is generally 3 years. The exercise yard is best provided with a calcium pool, with some shell powder or limestone placed in the pool. Lighting: reserve breeding chickens should preferably have natural light, while laying hens should receive 15-16 hours of light per day, with lights turned on and off on schedule. Pay attention to hygiene.
How big can the Royal Empress Chicken grow (how many jin)
1. Adult roosters weigh about 3-3.6 jin, and hens about 2.5-2.8 jin. Royal Empress Chicken chicks have stable heredity, and their broad rearing methods are exactly the same as those for native chicken chicks. They can be free-range or cage-raised, at 8 birds per sq m. They are gentle in temperament and have good stress resistance, rarely getting fowl plague, and are suitable for both large-scale and family rearing.
2. The male-to-female ratio of the breeding flock is 1:5. They begin laying at 6 months of rearing, each hen lays 170-180 eggs per year, eggs weigh about 38 grams, the fertilization rate of breeding eggs reaches 90%, chicks have a high survival rate and grow fast, and can be marketed after 3 months of rearing, weighing about 3 jin, with a meat-to-feed ratio of 1:3.2.
3. Under family free-range conditions, feeding is still on the low side. Just like raising other chickens at home, without using cages and with large amounts of feed, including added fishmeal, yeast powder, etc., the growth speed will certainly differ from that of farms.
How much does the Royal Empress Chicken cost per jin
1. Royal Empress Chickens generally reach market weight in 4 months. The cost per chicken is about 18 yuan, retail is 25 yuan to 30 yuan per jin, wholesale is about 18 yuan per jin, and market prices also vary according to different regions.
2. Compared with ordinary poultry, the Royal Empress Chicken still has a large market space. According to expert estimates, the annual demand for Royal Empress Chickens in Guangdong, Hong Kong, China, Macao, China, Beijing, Shanghai and other places alone exceeds 60 million birds, while the current market supply is less than 10 million birds, putting it in a state of supply falling short of demand.
3. Professor Du Bingwang of the Poultry Breeding Center of Guangdong Ocean University said in an interview with a reporter from Southern Rural Daily: “The Royal Empress Chicken has its distinctive characteristics and advantages, as well as the current market demand situation. It can be predicted that developing the special economic breeding industry of the rare poultry Royal Empress Chicken is a project with great potential and well worth investing in.”
