The native roosters raised in the mountains are the best and most expensive.

Chickens are the most common poultry raised by humans. Domestic chickens are derived from wild jungle fowls and have been domesticated for at least about 4,000 years. However, it was not until around 1800 that chicken and eggs became mass-produced commodities.

Jungle Fowl is a species of the genus Jungle Fowl in the order Galliformes and the family Phasianidae. Also known as Camellia Chicken. It is the ancestor of domestic chickens and is now produced in Yunnan, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and Hainan Province in China. It is also distributed in Southeast Asia, India, the Malay Peninsula and Sumatra Island in Indonesia. The body size of jungle fowl is similar to that of domestic chicken. The head has a fleshy crown and a pair of fleshy wattles on the side of the throat, which are unique features of this genus.

Different colors of male and female. The male feather color is very similar to that of a domestic rooster. The most obvious difference is that the feathers on the head and neck are narrow and pointed. The feathers in the front are dark red and turn to golden yellow in the back. These long, narrow feathers extend from the neck back and cover the front of the back, making them more gorgeous than those of domestic chickens. The tail feathers and upper tail coverts are black with metallic green reflections, and the base of the feathers is white, which is particularly noticeable when flying. Females are similar to domestic hens, smaller than males and with shorter tails. The head and neck are dark brown with red accents; the neck feathers are also particularly long, and the shaft is dark brown with golden edges.

Inhabiting dense forests in tropical and subtropical mountainous areas, they often go to the fields at the edge of the forest to forage for plant seeds, buds, grains, etc., as well as insects and other small animals. The nest is built in a slightly recessed area on the ground, covered with fallen leaves and weeds. Spawning begins in February in southern Yunnan, with the climax period from March to May, and some last until October. The pheasant is a species of the genus Pheasant in the order Galliformes and the family Pheasantidae.

Also known as pheasant, pheasant, pheasant, ring-necked pheasant and collared pheasant. In China, except for most of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, it is distributed throughout the country. Body length 90-100 cm. The male bird has gorgeous plumage. Pheasants seen in East China have a brass-colored head and white eyebrow lines on both sides. The chin, throat, and back of the neck are all black, with metallic reflections. There is a prominent white ring under the neck, so it is commonly known as the ring-necked pheasant.

The front of the back is golden yellow, the back turns to maroon, and then it is olive green, all with mottled spots. The tail feathers are very long, mainly yellow-brown, and have a series of black spots across them. The chest is copper-red with metallic purple, with anchor-shaped black spots on the feather tips; the rest of the lower body is also mottled. It usually inhabits hills with grass and trees, but moves to fields in severe winter to forage for insects, plant seeds, berries and grains. It has strong legs and is good at walking, but its wings are short and cannot fly high or for long periods of time. The cry is monotonous and low. During the breeding period, they build nests anywhere in the grass on hills and spread dead grass, fallen leaves, etc. in depressions on the ground. Each clutch lays 6 to 14 eggs, and usually two clutches are hatched per year. There are 19 subspecies of pheasant in China.

Biological characteristics of chickens:

1. Body temperature, between 40.9 degrees and 41.9 degrees, with an average body temperature of 41.5 degrees.

Chicks, but when raising them, the chick house temperature is required to be high, usually at 34 to 5 degrees.

2. Heartbeat, 160 to 170 beats per minute. In terms of age, chicks have a higher heartbeat than adult chickens. In terms of gender, hens are higher than roosters.

3. Egg production. A hen lays an average of about 300 eggs per year, and the average hatching rate is more than 70%.

4. Others, the feed-to-meat ratio is generally 1.50~2.00:1; the feed-to-egg ratio is generally 2.0-2.5:1.0

5. Chickens generally have a longest survival period of 13 Year (rearing environment)

6. Laying hens: generally start production at about 110 days (factory farming), and are eliminated at 72 weeks and weigh about 2 kilograms when eliminated.

Identification of males and females:

Cock: Round eyes, fast feeding

Hen: Small head, oval eyes, late to feed, slow to feed In general, most roosters are born after 20.5 days, and most hens are born after 21 days.
