How do you recognize a native chicken?

First of all, we have to understand what is a native chicken, native chicken is not through hybridization and optimization of a traditional breed, like Liaoning's big bone chicken, Henan and Shandong's reed chicken, Hainan and Guizhou's Wenchang chicken, and the introduction of hybrid chickens from abroad, no matter what you are with the soil method of free-range, it is not the true meaning of the native chicken, can only be regarded as a free-range chicken.

In China's rural areas in the eighties and nineties, basically every family will raise a few chickens, then the chicken is basically in the process of a whole free-range, eating a hundred insects and weeds, feeding grains and cereals, thirsty drink some spring water or clean water, the whole process of the hormone added feed, so the chicken's resistance to disease is relatively strong, very few will be sick, less needles and medication, the growth cycle is also longer, and the egg production rate is lower. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands dirty.

Of course, this growth of local chicken flavor is not bad, tender meat, flavor, a chicken is not put any spices into, that chicken soup is also fresh and delicious. So now on the market in the true sense of the earth chicken is not much, don't look at that one or two hundred, two or three hundred dollars a chicken, in fact, many can only be regarded as free-range chicken only. So how do we go to identify the real and fake local chicken? According to the village experienced old generation, should go to these three aspects to understand, to ensure that you buy a real farmhouse chicken!

1) look at the beak, we identify real and fake chickens should look at the beak, we all know, free-range farm chickens because the growth cycle is longer, often pecking at small insects, in the soil planing food to eat, so the beak of the place is more, because often turning the soil, pecking and eating small stones and sand, the chicken beak will be worn exceptionally smooth and shiny, and some of the beak of the chickens will even be fractured phenomenon, so we can buy more than one chicken, so we can buy more than one chicken, so we can buy more than one chicken. When we buy a local chicken, we can observe more about the shape of its mouth, whether it is in line with the characteristics of the local chicken.

2) look at the chicken claws, the same because of the long growth cycle of chickens, chickens in the process of free-range chicken claws wear and tear will be more powerful, and claws are stronger and more powerful, stirrups and scratching the ground phenomenon is frequent, in addition to free-range chickens because of the need to forage for their own food, so it is often non-stop scratching the ground, and over time the chicken's fingernails wear and tear will be particularly serious, so the general real chickens, the chicken's claws and toenails will be stronger and more wear and tear. will be stronger wear and tear is more powerful, we can observe when buying this detail is in line with the habits of the soil chicken?

3) look at the chicken, in general, the chicken because of the activity is relatively large, the meat on the body is relatively strong, fluffy hair look relatively large, in fact, not much meat, so the market has a small chicken, more than three or four pounds of chicken is not a chicken, in fact, there is a certain misunderstanding, the size of the chicken and the varieties of the size of the chicken has a lot to do with the country's traditional chicken in the famous varieties of nine pounds of yellow, is a large breed of chicken varieties, so that the chicken will be a large chicken breed, so that the chicken will be a large chicken varieties. A large chicken breed of varieties, such a chicken you can say will not be more than three or four pounds?

So sometimes it is not possible to generalize, said above, the earth chicken is small because it looks big, but the number of meat and our visual inspection has a large gap, mainly because of the earth chicken activity, the earth chicken healthy hair fluffy due to the other hand, the earth chicken chicken skin tight is generally yellow, and feed chickens because of the reduced activity, and more injections and medication, the chicken skin loose hair sparse will be on the . In addition feed chicken chicken skin is mostly meat white, so we can in the chicken meat as well as feathers, chicken skin to observe whether it is in line with the growth habit of the soil chicken.
