The difference between a cock and a hen.

The difference between cock and hen is as follows:

1, look at the cockscomb. The cock's comb is big, but the hen's comb is much smaller.

2. Look at the hair on the chicken tail. The hair on the cock's tail is more straight and stylish, and the hen's hair is shorter and smarter.

3, look at the color of chicken feathers, the rooster is more vivid, the hen is more single, and the color is more plain.

Precautions for raising chickens:

1, poor cold resistance. The temperature of newly hatched chicks is 3℃ lower than that of adult chickens, and it takes 10 days to reach the normal temperature. In addition, the chicken's fluff is short and thin, so it can't keep out the cold, so its adaptability to the environment is not strong. They must rely on artificial heat preservation to grow and develop normally. 1-30-day-old chickens should be kept warm and placed in a clean and hygienic environment. Chickens over 30 days old are basically full of feathers and can keep warm.

2, high body temperature, rapid development, the average chicken's body temperature is between 40.8-465438 0.5℃, so it must be raised in an environment with good ventilation, warm in winter and cool in summer. In addition, chicken's digestive tract is short, its metabolism is vigorous, and its growth and development are rapid, so it needs to be fed with nutritious and digestible feed to meet its needs.

3, weak resistance, especially chicks, vulnerable to harmful microorganisms. Therefore, in addition to cleaning the environment, we must also take precautions. For example, outsiders are strictly prohibited from entering and leaving the henhouse, the environment and cages should be disinfected, and all kinds of chickens should be injected with various vaccines regularly.

Chickens are timid, especially chicks are easily frightened. Light people are crowded and their growth and development are blocked, while heavy people trample on each other, resulting in disability and death. So chickens should be kept in quiet places. Rough management, sudden noise, the intrusion and capture of cats and dogs will all lead to riots and affect the growth of chickens.
