2 CHICKENS 101 BIOLOGY (ANATOMY, BREEDS, DEVELOPMENT, & REPRODUCTION)
3 THE BASICS: TERMS 1 Chicken Anatomy 3
4 THE BASICS: TERMS 1 Chicken Wing & Feather Anatomy 4
5 THE BASICS - TERMS 1 Chick a new hatch or very young chicken Pullet- a young female chicken Hen a mature female chicken Cockerel a male chicken less than 1 year old Cock a male chicken more than 1 year old Rooster- a male chicken 5
6 THE BASICS - TERMS 1 Broiler - used mainly for meat. A broiler is a chicken is 6 to 7 weeks of age and weighs 4 pounds when it is sent to market. Layer - a mature female chicken that produces eggs. Most can lay 300 eggs/year. 6
7 THE BASICS: BREEDS 1 7
8 THE BASICS: BREEDS How Did Chickens Originate? All breeds are descendents of an original Red Jungle Fowl of East Asia. Domestication impacts are great. 8
9 THE BASICS: BREEDS 1 There are many things to consider before selecting a chicken breed for your flock - whether you are planning to start a new flock or to add to an existing one. For instance, what are you looking for? a broiler breed a layer breed a dual-purpose breed a pet chickens to show at exhibitions a heritage breed 9
10 THE BASICS: BREEDS 1 Before selecting your chickens also review your zoning restrictions For instance... is slaughtering allowed? how many chickens can you have? are roosters allowed? 10
11 THE BASICS: BREEDS Many Websites Available on Breed Traits Info e.g., the Handy Dandy Chicken Chart nderson/chooks/chooks.html
12 THE BASICS: BREED GROUPS Meat Breed Factors 1 a fast growing broiler breed a Cornish cross can reach 4-5 lbs in six weeks and 6-10 lbs in twelve weeks a slower growing breed (for ethnic markets ) Australorp and Silkie breeds 12
13 THE BASICS: BREED GROUPS Egg Breed Factors Hybrids (Production): Not a specific breed but a cross of known breeds. Layers grow slower Flock uniformity More production types Red Sex links Production Reds White Leghorns 13
14 Selecting a breed based on egg color SELECTING A BREED BY EGG COLOR White Eggs Leghorns Buttercup Ancona Andalusian Hamburgs Brown Eggs Rhode Island Red Rhode Island White Buff Orpington Plymouth Rocks Delaware Dominique Wyandottes Red Sex Links Source:
15 THE BASICS: BREEDS Egg Breed Examples WHITE LEGHORN RHODE ISLAND RED ARAUCANAS
16 THE BASICS: BREEDS Heritage Breeds Allow you to participate in conservation of genetic and breed diversity Use breeds that are adapted to area s environmental conditions Opportunities to provide specialty products
17 THE BASICS: BREEDS Heritage Meat Breed Examples NEW HAMPSHIRE BARRED ROCKS BUFF ORPINGTONS
18 THE BASICS: DEVELOPMENT Steps in Natural Development
19 THE BASICS: REPRODUCTION
20 THE BASICS: REPRODUCTION FEMALE POULTRY REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM The ova produced in the ovary develop into egg yolks. The oviduct of the chicken has five parts It takes approximately three hours for the thick white to be placed around the yolk in the magnum. It takes approx. 1 ¼ hrs for two shell membranes to be placed around the yolk and thick white. It takes about 25 to 27 hours for a chicken to produce one egg
21 THE BASICS: REPRODUCTION
22 THE BASICS: REPRODUCTION MALE POULTRY REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM 1. The vas deferens carries the seminal fluid and sperm cells to the cloaca. 2. The cloaca is the enlarged part where the large intestine joins the end of the alimentary canal. 3. The alimentary canal is the food-carrying passage that begins at the mouth and ends at the vent. 4. The papilla is the organ in the wall of the cloaca that puts the sperm cells into the hen s reproductive tract. 5. Roosters are necessary only for fertile eggs
23 THE BASICS: PRODUCTION DEVELOPMENT Incubator Eggs for Consumption and/or Incubation Brooder Laying Hens Housing & Feeding
24 THE BASICS: DEVELOPMENT An Incubator provides and maintains a favorable environment for hatching fertile eggs. The incubator replaces the hen.
25 THE BASICS: DEVELOPMENT 4 Important Factors to Successful Incubation Are: 1. Temperature degrees F 2. Ventilation air must flow through the incubator 3. Turning the eggs- at least 3 times daily. Incubators can have automatic turners 4. Humidity (water) there must be moisture to keep the egg shell healthy
26 THE BASICS: DEVELOPMENT Chicken Egg Anatomy and Embryo Development See video of chicken egg development at watch?v=lkvez9duehq
27 THE BASICS: DEVELOPMENT Candling is the process of using a bright light to look inside of the egg without cracking it to see if the chick is developing properly. Light Notice the embryo has begun to develop. Notice the veins, this is the embryo forming.
28 THE BASICS: DEVELOPMENT
29 THE BASICS: DEVELOPMENT Hatching Time Hatching Begins on Day 21 give or take 3 days Impacted by Light and Temperature May take Several Hours for Chick to Exit Shell Don t help Chicks Hatch -- Struggle Necessary for Survival
30 THE BASICS: DEVELOPMENT And Then? Chicks remain in incubator until dry and fluffy May take several hours to dry Chicks hatching and drying in incubator. Once dry and fluffy place in brooder
31 THE BASICS: DEVELOPMENT What s a brooder? Pen for chicks Absorbent bedding i.e. saw dust, newspaper, etc Shop light hung low to warm chicks
32 THE BASICS: DEVELOPMENT Why Is Proper Brooder Management So Critical? All of the chicken s body systems are developing Immune system Thermoregulatory system Digestive system Feathering Eating and drinking behavior
33 BROODER EXAMPLES Lamp Type
34 BROODER EXAMPLES Box Battery Ring
35 THE BASICS: DEVELOPMENT Brooder Requirements Space Draft shield high ½ square foot of space per bird Heat Sources light bulb 95 o F for week 1 then decrease 5 o F per week. Litter 3 inches of clean dry litter ( No VERY fine sawdust or cedar ) Keep litter around water and feed dry and clean Heat Source Water Source Feed Source
36 THE BASICS: DEVELOPMENT Keep Brooder Clean! Change out daily Bedding Water Food
37 THE BASICS: DEVELOPMENT Brooder Success Rules of Thumb Water 1 quart for every 25 birds (clean and fill daily) For large number automatic watering systems work best Feeders Place near heat, but not directly underneath source Fresh food in front of chicks at all times Delivery Day Brooder up and running 24 hr before chicks arrive Have them sent overnight Show each bird water source
38 BROODER MANAGEMENT THE CHICKS WILL TELL YOU IF THEY ARE COMFORTABLE
39 THE BASICS: SEXING YOUNG POULTRY Best way to tell is to wait till they grow up Rooster Tail feathers Comb size Wattle size Hen Spur size
40 THE BASICS: EGG LAYING Why have my hens stopped laying? Nutrition Completely balanced diet Out of feed or water Disease Vaccinate (esp. in confinement systems) Age Management Heat Overcrowding Light
41 THE BASICS: EGG LAYING Why have my hens stopped laying? 250 eggs per year = 1 st year of production
42 THE BASICS: EGG LAYING Why have my hens stopped laying? A layer will produce an egg every 1-2 days Pullets start laying when they reach weeks First eggs will be small and on the floor Light hours (have a program) Decrease light hours for growing pullets Increase hours after they start laying with artificial lights (orange/red lights are best) to maintain hr day length
