Boy
I call this chicken by the name Boy. I forget at what age I called him by the name Boy. Since I called the name Boy, he always responds to my calls. What a smart chicken.
At this time he entered the age of 130 days, soon he will become a father. He entered the age of breeding at the age of 6 months.
Look at the boy's face after breakfast, full of food haha, but it will always be clean because the surrounding chickens clean his face. He's a very friendly chicken with chickens that are still younger than him.
Providing Education on How to Take Care of Native Chickens.
Every customer who buys our chickens deserves an answer and insight when they start asking how to raise chickens well?
Answer according to your experience and insight, when you are successful in caring for chickens so that the chickens stay healthy. That will add value to your chicken farm.
By the way, the price of BCH has been dropping in the last few weeks, I hope my friends here are still enthusiastic about supporting BCH.
Mini Layer Chicken
Hi friends, good morning, I hope you are always in good health and full of joy.
This morning I took a picture of a 3 week old chick, which is a type of laying hens, which this hen can produce many eggs later.
This is a chicken that was given to me by my friend, and now they have adapted to my chicken coop. It is estimated that this chicken lays eggs at the age of 4-5 months, which the eggs they produce can later be consumed by themselves or sold in the market.
Although they are short in size, this type of chicken has a production capacity of 300 eggs per year and is efficient in feeding, the feed given is only 70 grams per day.
It's nice to have the type of laying hens that produce a lot every day, I can't wait for them to lay eggs.
The joy of raising chickens
Raising chickens can also add additional income or side income, everyone can raise chickens, as long as we are willing to learn.
We can sell eggs or chicken meat. The chicken market never dies but there are still many buyers.
So let's raise chickens :)
Natural Antibiotics
Natural Antibiotics leave no residue on chickens, and are very good for chickens, giving can be mixed in drinks or food.
What are antibiotics?
Temulawak, turmeric, ginger, garlic, aromatic ginger, papaya leaves, galangal.
All ingredients are taken as needed, about 100 grams per ingredient if you have a lot of chicken, then boiled, after that you can give it to the chicken, when the conditions are warm. Give this every 3 times a week. I'm sure your chicken will be healthier.
Pure Breed Chicken
After 2 years of crossbreeding chickens, but not getting maximum results and a lot of costs are incurred. I prefer pure-breed chickens.
Pure-breed chickens have the same feather color on their feathers and egg production does not decrease, tends to be stable even though it is doing inbreeding. So it can be developed for several generations and still make selections to produce superior seeds.
Chicken Feeding
Feeding chickens for small scale I can provide a portion of 40% in the morning and the remaining 60% in the afternoon.
Why do chickens need a lot of food in the afternoon?
Because the afternoon until the morning is a very long time and the chickens need food intake to store energy until the morning comes. That's why I feed the chickens 40% in the morning and 60% in the afternoon.
Seeing the Sex of the Chicks
There are many ways to see the sex of chicks when they have just hatched, but I only do this by looking at the feathers on the chick's wings.
This method is also very useful when we sell chicks to customers, when customers want to buy Male Chicks and Female Chicks.
So did you know about this?
Guess what gender the chick I'm holding is?
Mixed Chicken Feed
Chicks at the age of 1 month, can be given mixed feed like this in order to save on feed costs, I use papaya leaves, rice bran, rice and packaged feed, I slowly change their diet so they get used to their new food.
To increase your appetite, give sliced papaya leaves so that the chickens are getting hungrier to eat.
How about your chicken feed menu?
Hen
Most chicken breeders only sell male chickens instead of female chickens, and lately the hens are being hunted by buyers, but chicken farmers don't sell them, because they are still used for egg production.
Therefore, chicken breeders only release the excess roosters from their chicken coops. Is that the case in your country too?
Spoiled
Every day watching these chickens grow up is really fun, they are growing well with limited funds.
Seeing my chickens are healthy and lively and spoiled, it makes me grateful. Look at this little one she is so enthusiastic about looking at my cellphone camera. I always accompany them in my simple chicken coop.
All Requires Process
In raising chickens, it takes patience, perseverance, hard work to raise chicks to adulthood.
This is a documentation of the growth process of chicks up to the age of 4 months which I captured through my cellphone camera.
Yes, he is a native chicken who is now 4 months old on June 22. Watching the growth process of chickens is really fun.
Coryza Or Colds
This morning I got a complaint from my friend that his chicken had a bad cold and of course the chicken looked very weak.
This disease can attack all ages and quickly spreads viciously
through the air, direct contact with infected chickens,
other animals as carriers that come to stop at the cage, and can get through food and drink.
Symptom:
Chickens look lethargic, weak, short of breath, snoring, coughing
and sneezing. The beak and nose are runny, sometimes the eyes are swollen and watery. The cock's comb and wattles are sometimes swollen.
Causes, prevention and treatment:
The cause of this disease is the bacterium Haemophilus galinarium which is more active in cold and humid weather.
Prevention of the attack of this disease
is good sanitation by trying to keep the cage dry, warm and protected from wind and rain. Vaccination against this disease already exists and is usually carried out according to
recommended dosage; usually once every 3 months when the weather is cold.
Chickens should be given antistress vitamins to maintain their body condition. If you see one or two sick chickens, they should be separated from the chickens immediately
Sick chickens can be treated with antisnot drugs for 5 consecutive days and can even be injected with antibiotics such as penicillin, streptomycin and so on.
If using herbal medicine, you can take turmeric, ginger, ginger, garlic, brown sugar, all ingredients take just enough then puree with a mixer and then boil.
After all the ingredients are boiled, mix in the drinking water of the sick chicken, just enough so that the condition of the chicken's body remains warm and the appetite can recover.
Focus on 1 Type of Chicken
Focus on keeping one type of chicken that is profitable, if we have very limited space.
I take advantage of the limited land to raise 1 type of chicken, this type of chicken is dual purpose, which means I can sell the eggs and chicks to buyers, because this type of chicken is homogeneous so it is very easy to maintain.
Raising chickens is not easy, it takes a lot of experience, insight, and relationships with friends to stay strong in this field of chicken farming.
Overcoming the Chicken Meat Crisis
One way to overcome the crisis of chicken meat whose prices continue to rise is to raise chickens, we can raise them ourselves without having to buy chicken meat in the market.
And after all, we also get eggs from the chickens we raise. For those who live in rural areas, you can do something like this. I'm sure because the air temperature is very comfortable for raising chickens.
Native Chicken
At my place every day the need for eggs and chicken meat is still very much in demand and become a basic need as a side dish that contains a lot of animal protein sources which are relatively affordable compared to beef.
Several days ago until this morning, many people have contacted me to buy this breed of native chicken, but my chickens are still under development and not ready yet because they are still young. It is possible that by the end of the year these native chickens will be ripe and ready produce eggs. Yes, I also can't wait for this native chicken to lay eggs because everything needs a process.
Chicks Cage Comfort
For several periods I did not incubate eggs naturally and always relied on manual incubators, that
all because the chickens must keep laying eggs and not incubating. All modern chicken breeders use this method.
After the eggs hatch, they are transferred to a heating cage until the chicks are fully comfortable and grow to maturity. There are many ways to raise chickens, it all depends on the weather and the natural conditions in which each one lives. Not all methods are suitable, but knowledge is necessary to gain experience.
Manual Incubator
Good morning good people. I hope you are healthy and blessed always.
This manual incubator is almost a year old, so far the hatching rate of eggs with this manual incubator is quite good, if I may rate it is 95%.
In the long journey of this manual egg incubator, I always forget to turn the eggs and also neglect to keep the incubator humidity that keeps the eggs from hatching.
After learning from all my mistakes and in the end it always pays off, as long as the discipline is turning the eggs 2x a day and always keeping the incubator moist.
And today 8 chicks hatched, this is the result of a gift from my friend in the form of eggs and then I hatched them in a hatching machine. Thank God they hatched safely.
Native Chicken Eggs
Native chickens are laying eggs at the age of 5-6 months, at that age we must prepare special feed for laying hens and minerals, so that the egg production process is always smooth.
If we want stable chicken egg production, we must pay attention to the quality of the feed given to the chickens so that they produce good quality eggs and the level of egg fertility is also good.
Food Intake During Cold Weather
When the weather is cold, chickens need a lot of energy to warm their bodies, therefore we must pay attention to the need for suitable feed in winter for chickens.
In my country, which has a tropical climate and often experiences high rainfall, the appropriate feed for chickens to warm their bodies is corn. Because corn has a Metabolic Energy of 3340 kcal/kg and has 3.9% fat. And the chicken farmers here prefer to give corn to their chickens.
Native Chicken Becomes Prima Donna
A few weeks ago, cattle farms in my country were infected with a virus that attacks the mouth and nails and automatically the price of beef fell and consumers are now turning to native chicken meat to avoid health problems.
Of course, chicken farmers are very happy with this market demand, and the price of native chicken meat has increased. Native chicken meat in my place can reach 3.5 - 5 dollars per 1 kilogram. And that is already quite expensive, so currently chicken farmers at myplace very happy to raise chickens.
Feed Weighing
I'm weighing the feed for my chickens, because I have to record the feed requirements of my chickens per chicken in one day.
If I give too much feed and the chickens don't finish the feed in 1 day it can grow harmful fungi in the chicken feed causing several diseases in the chickens.
The need for native chicken feed depends on the age of the chicken
1 week old:
7 grams per 1 chicken in 1 day
2 weeks old:
19 grams per 1 chicken in 1 day
3 weeks old:
34 grams per 1 chicken in 1 day
4 weeks old:
47 grams per 1 chicken in 1 day
5 weeks old:
58 grams per 1 chicken in 1 day
6 weeks old:
66 grams per 1 chicken in 1 day
7 weeks old:
72 grams per 1 chicken in 1 day
8 weeks old:
74 grams per 1 chicken in 1 day
So if we feed the chickens according to the portion of the chicken's needs, we will not waste chicken feed, the price of which is increasing day by day, thus chicken feed is not wasted.
Chicks Weight Data Collection
Last night I did the weighing on my chicks who are 28 days old at this time. The average weight of my chicks is 300-400 grams and that's pretty good. This means that the growth of these chicks is very fast and suitable for further development.
As chicken breeders, we have to record and observe the growth rate of chicks, so that we don't choose the wrong type of chicken, because if the price of feed goes up while the growth of the chickens is slow, we will lose, yes, everything needs calculation.
Visiting Friends' Chicken Coop
A few days ago I visited my friend's chicken coop, it looks like he is making a new chicken coop for his favorite chickens.
During the visit I brought 5 liters of probiotics for my friend's chickens. Glad to see that the land is large enough to raise chickens. Hopefully one day I will have a large area for raising chickens.
Spraying Chicken Coop With Decomposer
Today I cleaned my chicken coop, cleaning the chicken coop is always routine I do every day, however, for spraying the chicken coop with a decomposer I do it every 1 week.
Spraying with Decomposer is very useful to keep the chicken coop free from odor and dry feces so that the chickens stay comfortable and healthy, a clean and odor-free coop is a top priority for my chickens.
The decomposer itself is a collection of decomposing bacteria that functions as chicken feces to remain dry and odorless and environmentally friendly, if our chicken coop smells bad, it is an unhealthy sign and becomes air pollution, causing various kinds of diseases in chickens.
Thank you
There have always been good people who gave me hatching eggs and chickens a few days ago. They are friends of chicken farmers I know on Facebook.
I am very grateful and grateful, they have supported my little chicken coop, and they advised to keep it up. I have not been able to repay all of their kindness. I remain optimistic that one day I can be like they did to me.
Thank you good friends who have supported me here. I have not been able to repay your kindness in giving tips to you at this time. Because my FT has been missing for almost a week. I am still optimistic that it will return someday.
Selection of Native Chicken Hatching Eggs
To incubate native chicken eggs, selection is needed to produce good chicks or high-quality seeds. In this way we can produce good hen candidates.
The standard weight of a good chicken egg for hatching is 40 grams - 54 grams, if it's below that standard you can cook it or sell it in the market or your neighbors.
If you insist on incubating eggs below the standard then what happens is that the growth of the chicks is slow and you spend too much money to raise them.
And by selecting chicken eggs from an early age, it helps you reduce the cost of chicken feed. Because their growth is in line with the quality you set for your chickens.
Chicken Regeneration
What is meant by chicken regeneration?
Replacing old brooders is replaced with young brooders and ready to lay eggs at the age of 5-7 months. Especially for female chickens.
The goal is to produce good chicks and a good egg fertility rate. As well as stable egg production.
If we use hens who are more than 1.5 years old. I believe egg production will decrease, egg shape is not normal, egg fertility rate will decrease, and egg hatching quality will decrease.
Therefore, regeneration of chickens is very necessary to reduce the level of loss, especially in feed. Old chickens can be sold to become broilers or raised but not too intensively.
2 Days of helplessness
For 2 days, he lay weak and helpless, his head was not strong to hold up, did not want to eat and drink, in those 2 days I helped him eat and drink, and gave him antibiotics.
My heart felt sad, while he was sick I hugged him and kissed him saying, "get well soon my boy". I'm sure he will recover. I'm always watching him.
And this morning I rushed to my chicken coop, to check the condition of my chicken. I was so happy, he stood up and started to eat again. I thought he had died this morning, but he was struggling to live. That made me very happy .
The effects of changing weather are so hot that the chickens are weak and lose their appetite. Therefore, keep an eye on your chickens.
Making Probiotics
Yesterday I was making probiotics for my chickens. Because the supply of probiotics in my chicken coop has run out. I like to make probiotics like this because it saves more on costs and the price of 1 bottle of probiotics keeps going up.
I only need 1 liter of probiotics to be developed into 40 liters of probiotics, I learned from my friends on facebook. The probiotic development process takes 7 to 14 days which is characterized by a tapai-like aroma and fragrant if the process is successful.
Look at the blue drum with a plastic cover, during the anaerobic fermentation process, the plastic appears to expand, a sign of bacterial activity starting to work.
I take 5 liters of probiotics in the white plastic container for my daily chicken needs.
