If you liked a chicken of bream breed, then you can safely start breeding it. It is not difficult to grow it: it is not too whimsical to conditions, temperature, light and places of walking. Of course, in cases where egg laying is important to you, these parameters will be needed, but if you want to buy it to decorate the yard, then you will need to pay attention only to nutrition.
Representatives of the Brama breed can be given both dry, wet, and mixed feeds. In large farms, preference is given to the first type of food. In this case, full-fledged feeds are used, which do not deteriorate for a long time. But at home, it is better to use wet food - this will not only save money, but also provide the bird with all the necessary trace elements and vitamins.
Prawns hens will be happy to eat mixed fodder, various ground grains, dry protein feed, greens. All this can be mixed with whey, meat or fish broth, other kitchen leftovers. By the way, it’s not so necessary to purchase ready-made dry food for poultry, it is better to purchase a grinder and independently select the proportions of grains, fish and meat and bone meal, adding various food waste to this mixture: cereals, soups, potatoes, greens.
Only a combination of good nutrition, optimal temperature and lighting will make it possible for the chicken of Brama to be carried for quite a while and gain weight. By the way, if you do not want to engage in breeding birds, then you can not start a rooster, because hens will carry eggs without it. But the cry of a rooster has a calming effect on hens, improves their condition. And this in turn affects both productivity and weight gain.
In order for the chicken of the Brama breed to rush in the winter, it needs to be provided with at least 13-15 0 indoors. Do not forget about the need to create a long daylight hours (it should be about 14 hours) and the absence of drafts. If you have enough adult Brama chickens, caring for them is straightforward.
They easily tolerate even low temperatures. But in the first year it will be difficult with a bird, because for young animals it should be at least 10 0 C, otherwise not all representatives can survive. It is worth noting that chickens should hatch no later than June, otherwise they may not survive the winter. Of course, if you live not in the middle zone of Russia, but in the southern regions, where the temperature rarely drops below 0 0 C, then the colds are not afraid of young birds.
If you have not been involved in the breeding of young animals from chickens, but want to purchase already grown individuals, then you need to know that the best age for selecting chicken prawns is at least 130 days old. At this time, it is already possible to assess the appearance of the bird and understand what potential each of the individuals will have. So, a healthy chicken of Brama breed, from which one can expect good egg laying, has a bright red comb, earrings and yellow legs. Clean and shiny feathers should fit snugly against the body. She must be active, move fast and absorb food with appetite. Of course, only a specialist can correctly evaluate a bird, but if something bothers you in the appearance or behavior of a particular individual, then it is better not to get it.
