Poultry farmers who want to breed chickens for eggs can opt for Czech golden hens. They are perfect for keeping in the household, in a private courtyard. This breed is only gaining popularity and is beginning to spread throughout the regions. She is chosen because of her good, fairly high egg productivity and fairly fast growth.
The birthplace of these feathered pets is the Czech Republic, which is already evident from the name of the breed. To breed it, breeders crossed the most egg-laying, productive breeds.
Czech laying hens are capable of laying up to 200 eggs per year, the average weight of which is about 55 grams. Shell color is cream. Golden chickens usually reach puberty at the age of five months. Laying hens have a well-developed maternal instinct, so poultry farmers often choose the natural way of hatching chickens. The safety of the bird is very good: in young animals this figure is about 90%, in adults – about 80%.
The Czech golden breed of chickens is distinguished by activity and mobility. The bird loves to be on the run, in the fresh air. She is constantly looking for pasture, digging in the ground, thus wasting the energy accumulated during the night. These feathered pets do not need special care and conditions. However, due to its mobility, it quickly loses energy that needs to be replenished. For this, the Czech Golden chicken breed needs to regularly receive a sufficient amount of high-quality, nutritious, balanced feed, which contains all the important mineral elements and vitamins.
Czech golden chickens quickly get used to and adapt to any climatic conditions. They endure both severe frosts and sweltering heat.
Despite the unpretentiousness in maintenance and feeding, the poultry breeder must understand that for high productivity, the bird must be provided with proper, complete feeding and good care and maintenance: in a warm, clean, well-lit chicken coop without drafts and with good ventilation.
