At present, the number of aquaculture is very small. The price of a pound of imperial concubine chicken in the international market is US$ 5, which is much higher than that of other poultry, and it is often available at a price of 50-70 yuan each in China. There was once a merchant in Guangdong who spent tens of thousands of yuan on advertising for newspapers and periodicals in order to buy princess chicken. In Hong Kong and Macao, there are also franchised stores of Princess Chicken, where diners are like a stream. According to experts' prediction, the annual demand in Guangdong and Hong Kong alone will exceed 80 million. At the national special breeding information exchange meeting in 2000, experts unanimously valued the princess chicken and listed it and the blue peacock as one of the most promising rare bird varieties in 2 1 century, which will replace the whole poultry and have an immeasurable future!

The princess chicken is stable in heredity, and its feeding method is exactly the same as that of native chicken. It can be raised in captivity and cage, with 8 chickens per square meter. It is mild in temperament, good in stress resistance, and difficult to get chicken plague, so it is suitable for large-scale and family feeding. The adult cock weighs about 3-3.6 Jin and the hen weighs about 2.5 Jin. The male-female ratio of the population is 1:5. After five months of breeding, eggs are laid by each hen, with an annual weight of about 40 grams. The fertilization rate of eggs is 90%, and the survival rate of chicks is high.

With the globalization of economy and the general improvement of living standards, people pay more and more attention to enjoying delicious food and food with health preservation, disease prevention, treatment and health care functions. Guifei chicken combines nourishing, health care, disease prevention and treatment with delicious food. It is expected to rapidly develop into one of the most popular rare birds, and become an important rare bird variety with considerable export and domestic sales potential and prospects.

According to the statistics of Zhaobao Ecological Farm, the real leading enterprise in the special aquaculture industry, only Guangdong, Hong Kong, Macao and other places have an annual demand of more than 40 million, while the supply is only 3 million. It is expected that the supply will still be in short supply in 5-8 years. The hotel catering industry in Zhanjiang City is one of the most developed cities in Guangdong Province. Zhanjiang City can consume an average of 2,000-3,000 royal chickens every day and 70-/kloc-0,000,000 chickens every year. If sold to other places and exported to Hong Kong and Macao, its annual demand can reach hundreds of millions. It can be seen that the breeding of princess chickens has broad prospects and great potential.
