I am going to do the test and then cross the f1 females to araucanas, ameraucanas and legbars to create an f2 easter egger.
Hello.
What shall I expect from a cross between black copper marans roosters and hy-line brown hens?
I need darker and harder eggs than hy-line browns and more eggs than marans hens.
Exactly! It is poor. No vitamins, no aminos, protein too low. But, heritage breeds can thrieve on this poor feeding and can offer sustainability to the farmer who lives in the acres. Hybrid chickens will show extremely low production in these conditions.
This is the key, this is the point...
IT ONLY MEANS THAT HERITAGE BREEDS ARE ABLE TO CONVERT LOW-DENSITY FARM RATIOS, SCRATCH A PRODUCER CAN PRODUCE BY HIS OWN FIELDS, CAN ADAPT TO SOY-FREE, FISH-FREE, MEAT-FREE FEEDING ETC.
HYBRID CHICKENS NEED HIGH OCTANE FEED AND WHEN GIVEN SCRATCH AND LOW-DENSITY RATIOS IN GENERAL, THEIR...
No, it was very unofficial because the number of the layers and meaties participating was too small.
A researcher will start with the statement - "Traditional heritage chickens need lower feed density to achieve the highest of their total production."
Hybrids like industrial white leghorns and commercial red sex links. From the other side, transylvanians, plymouth rocks, orpingtons, australorps, leghorns, andalusians etc.
Sorry, but I have to prove nothing. For further information ask farmers living in the acres in your country. Hybrid chickens have much smaller needs in feed density.
