How many jin does a guihua chicken generally reach? A detailed explanation of adult weight

The guihua chicken is the smallest chicken in the world. Currently, wild guihua chickens come in four colors: original color, camel, pure white and silver. So how many jin does a guihua chicken generally weigh?

1. How many jin does a guihua chicken generally weigh

Male guihua chickens weigh 55—75 grams; female guihua chickens weigh 65—85 grams. Some female guihua chickens can reach 100 grams. Guihua chickens have an extremely high egg-laying rate, generally laying more than 300 eggs a year.

2. Differences between male and female guihua chickens

Male bird: brown from the top of the head to the upper part of the hind neck, with a white throat; below the throat it is pale blue, and the center of the chest is reddish brown.

Female bird: plumage similar to that of a quail. The top of the head is dark brown with yellowish-brown feather edges; it has fine dark brown horizontal bars, which is clearly different from the dark brown vertical stripes of the quail. The belly is pale yellow; the feathers around the vent are white with a slight yellow tinge, and the feather bases are dark grayish brown; the undertail coverts are flax brown with flax-colored horizontal bars.

3. How to make smoked guihua chicken

1. After buying the chicken, clean it thoroughly, evenly rub on seasoning 1 (use a bit more salt, as it makes it easier to absorb the flavor), let it sit for 30 minutes, then set up the steamer.

2. Add seasoning 2 and steam for 30 minutes, turn off the heat and let it sit covered for 10 minutes, then take it out.

3. Take an old pot that is somewhat tall, line it with foil, add the smoking ingredients and mix evenly, then take a somewhat tall steaming rack and place the chicken on it, cover with the lid, heat over high heat until smoke appears, then turn to low heat and smoke for 15 minutes, then turn off the heat.

4. Take a damp cloth and place it over the pot lid to cool it, so the smoke completely covers the surface of the chicken; after the smoke disappears, take it out, chop it into pieces and serve.

Male guihua chickens are brightly colored with blue feathers on the chest. Female guihua chickens have plumage similar to that of a quail.
