How to tell the male and female of chicks?
1, according to the reproductive process for identification.
When the chicks are dry and can stand behind the shell, hold them with both hands to remove feces, put your head between the middle finger and the ring finger, fix the anus with your thumb, gently suppress the anus next to the anus with your right thumb and forefinger, and gently open the anus in bright light. If you see a small penis granular protrusion, that is, a male chicken, don't protrude.
It is best to identify the drumsticks within 2 to 12 hours of the eggshell.
2. Identify according to body type.
Male chicks with large body, heavy body, round eyes, long beak, pointed beak and thick feet can be judged as male chicks if their bodies are longer and heavier after 14 days, and the lengths of the second toe and the fourth toe are different.
3. According to the contraction of anal sphincter in chicks, the contraction of anal sphincter was determined.
Generally speaking, male chickens are more developed and have stronger contractility than female chickens.
Therefore, on the day the chicks hatch, they are held in the palm of their hands, and it is observed that if the anus contracts rapidly and forcefully, they will be male chicks.
4. It is different from the update of fluff and the shape of feather growth.
Generally speaking, female chicks get new hair earlier than male chicks. On the fourth day after hatching, female chicks have new hair on their chests and shoulders, while male chicks have no such phenomenon.
Matters needing attention in chicken seedling selection
1, birds with good uniformity should be selected, and young birds should have big eyes, bright feathers, soft abdomen, completely healed umbilical rings, villi covering the whole abdomen and clean anus.
Young birds with big navel and unclean anus are usually sick.
2. Choose young birds with thick, uniform and good gloss.
Don't choose chicks whose fluff is too fine, too thin, too wet and stuck to each other.
3. Choose healthy chicks according to their posture. Chickens should stand steadily with eyes full of gods, and eliminate blind, crooked and lame chicks.
4. A robust young bird is active and has a strong cry. Hold its neck by hand and lift it, and its feet can struggle quickly and forcefully.
Turn the chick over to the ground, and it can quickly turn over and stand up.
Weak chicks often shrink their necks and close their eyes, standing unsteadily, shrinking motionless, unable to call, and having difficulty turning over.
Note: When choosing chickens, you must not be greedy for cheap prices. You must find a regular hatchery to buy chickens, because their immunization procedures are relatively in place, paving the way for later breeding, and the survival rate of chickens will be higher.
