What breeds of specialty chickens are there for rural farming?

I believe most farmer friends have noticed that some traditional farming projects are not as popular as specialty farming projects now, but specialty farming projects are not something everyone can take on. Today, the editor will introduce a few rural specialty chicken breeds.

Guinea fowl

Guinea fowl originated in Guinea on the west coast of the African continent. Its meat is tender, delicious, high in protein and low in fat. It was originally a wild bird, and after domestication and rearing, it gradually became a new breed of meat poultry in some countries. Guinea fowl feathers are an important raw material for handicrafts. At present, guinea fowl handicrafts on the market are mainly exported to European and American markets. When feathers are in short supply, the price is 200 yuan/jin, more than 8 to 10 times that of goose feathers.

Silkie

Silkie is a rare poultry with special economic value in China's livestock and poultry gene pool. It has excellent traits unmatched by foreign chicken breeds. It is a rare poultry unique to China, combining medicinal, meat and ornamental value. It is one of China's ancient chicken breeds, a medicinal poultry famous at home and abroad, and an internationally recognized standard breed. The market price of authentic silkie is not expensive, generally around 19 to 28 yuan per kilogram, but due to differences in market, breed and place of origin, the price will also vary to some extent.

Ring-necked pheasant

The ring-necked pheasant is commonly known as wild pheasant, also called pheasant. Because its feathers are colorful and variegated, it is named the ring-necked pheasant. It is a valuable wild game poultry combining meat, ornamental and medicinal uses, and is known as the "king of game" and "animal ginseng." Generally, newly hatched pheasant chicks are about six yuan each, while pheasant chicks that can already be raised after being taken off heat are calculated at fifteen to twenty yuan each when buying more than five hundred. At the same time, when the purchase quantity is relatively small, the price in many areas is twenty-two to twenty-five yuan each.

Turkey

Turkey is 3-4 times larger than domestic chickens, with a body length of 110-115 cm. Turkey meat is fresh and tender, refreshing, with a very strong game flavor, a high lean meat rate, rich protein content, low cholesterol and little fat.

Partridge

Partridge is a kind of wild bird commonly eaten in southern China. Partridge meat is rich in protein and fat and contains 18 kinds of amino acids essential to the human body as well as relatively high trace elements such as zinc and strontium, and is rich in a variety of vitamins and minerals such as iron and potassium. It has the effects of strengthening yang and tonifying the kidneys and strengthening the body, and is a nourishing fine product suitable for men and women, old and young.

Silky chicken

The silky chicken, also known as the yuanbao chicken, originated in Japan and is also called the Japanese silky chicken. It has a lively posture and a gentle temperament, is endearing, can be enjoyed for viewing, and is deeply loved by people around the world. Its meat is lightly fragrant, its skin is thin and its flavor is good, and it is rich in nutrients. Its body weight is only 0.5 kg, catering to the global trend of developing miniature specialty poultry, and it is hailed as an peerless treasure.
