When I decided to get chickens, I focused on egg-bearing breeds, so as not to kill chickens, not to spend money on fights and fun, but still have fresh eggs. E. Osipova
Traditionally the best egg breeds are: Leghorns and hybrids of this breed, originally bred in Italy (in Livorno), and now the most common almost all over the world. These chickens are small, up to 2 kg, and you can get 220-250 eggs from them per year. Not a record, of course, but not a lot.
I was afraid to take chickens - I have no experience, the young birds are fragile, delicate, and getting them out is a whole art. True, they cost only 50 rubles, but still, putting living souls at risk is somehow not for me. I settled on 6-month-old laying hens. The price of each is 200 rubles, by the way, some exotic bantam beauties would cost one and a half thousand per head! Leghorns begin laying eggs at 4 months of age.
Number of laying hens that I was going to purchase, I calculated in advance. It depends on the area occupied by the poultry house under the roof and the open-air pen. Of course, it would be possible not to let the chickens out into the air at all; it would be easier and more economical to keep them that way. However, Leghorns are temperamental and active, not like the almost 5-kilogram meat Cochins - real phlegmatic people. In addition, eggs from chickens that have free range are much healthier than those from birds that are constantly indoors.
I based on the size of the chicken coop, built last fall by my prudent husband. The area of our wooden shed, similar to a utility block, is 2x1.5 m. 6 chickens will fit here - at the rate of 0.5 m2 per bird.
The selection principles are as follows. Birds should be active, with bright red combs and wattles and yellow legs (pale is a sign of old age). The feathers are clean, shiny, tightly fitting to the body, not thin, but not fat, otherwise the chicken will not lay eggs well.
A neighbor in the country, who has been keeping them for a long time and has achieved considerable success, helped me choose chickens from a poultry seller. By the way, we used his advice.
I saved money on purchasing a rooster. Fertilized eggs are alive, which means they are not food for a vegetarian.
Chicken Keeper's Commandments
Do not overfeed!
Do not enter the chickens from 9.00 to 15.00.
Always praises them
In addition to the usual door to the chicken dorm, my husband also built a small one (30x40 cm) - only for laying hens. Of course, there is a feeding trough in the enclosure.
Under the drinking bowl We have a deep bowl. We are going to treat the birds not only with compound feed, but also with healthy and tasty additives: grass, leftover broth with bread, millet, grain, fish, dairy products and boiled potatoes.
There is also a separate wooden trough for mineral feeding - shell rock, shells or special feed chalk. In a word, everything is based on the advice of experts.
We hope to receive 4-5 organic eggs per day, 55-60 g each.
After all, in the summer, chickens lay noticeably better. A neighbor somehow received 255 pieces in a year from one laying hen!
In addition, I will also have my own valuable fertilizer - chicken droppings. Truly waste-free creatures!
Reference
The wild ancestors of chickens produced only 10-30 eggs per year, modern ones - more than 300.
The record was set in 1930: the feathered champion carried 361 pieces in 364 days.
Japanese doctors from the University of Kyoto found that protein chicken egg- a medicine that blocks the growth of human cancer cells.
Spotted that chickens love blue food (you can buy this).
The feeder should be red, but not yellow. Green and orange colors calm them down, and blue is perceived by birds as pitch darkness.
Dietary eggs are those that are no more than 7 days old.
Expert opinion
Vladimir Malik, one of the authors of the collection “1000 tips for amateur livestock farmers”
If a summer resident wants to achieve the maximum number of eggs from hens, he must choose the most productive laying hens and feed them with high-quality feed. These birds eat a little more. To produce 12 pieces, 1.6-1.7 kg of complete, balanced feed is spent.
Today the French breed of chickens is very popular in the world. image, from which you can get 300-320 eggs per year.
Egg hens are usually kept for a maximum of 2 seasons. Any longer is unprofitable. They rush less and less. Modern summer residents, when leaving home, slaughter their birds in the fall, since there is nowhere to put them.
A little arithmetic
Balanced feed for laying hens is prepared according to special program, developed by scientists. The ingredients are mixed automatically and under operator control.
Knowing the composition of the recipe, you can prepare the food yourself. For young laying hens (not chickens!) the diet includes: wheat, barley, wheat bran, fish meal, phosphate, feed chalk, skim milk, sunflower and soybean cakes, table salt.
Whether it is necessary to bother making up a nutritional mixture, everyone decides for himself.
Complete food (PC-1) costs 490 rubles. per bag (40 kg). It can be bought on the market or ordered online in bulk. Then you will pay 11,750 rubles per ton. and the price for 40 kg will be 20 rubles. below.
For 6 layers one bag is enough for 38 days (one bird eats 180 g per day). Even at expensive prices, you will spend a little more than 2 rubles on chicken feed. per day, and she will lay one full egg. The benefit is obvious. E. Osipova

In the USA there are so-called “corpse farms”, where corpses in various positions and places are left to decompose in a pond or ground. At these farms, experts study the processes of decomposition of the body, and also help students studying criminology become familiar with the subject in practice.
