Do You Know Poultry Terminology?


Brooding The period during which the newly hatched chicks require to be kept warm

Broody The condition of a mature hen when she will sit on a nest of eggs in order to incubate them

Broiler A chicken reared to provide meat and killed at eight to ten weeks old

Capon A male de-sexed chicken

Cockerel A male chicken from one day old to sexual maturity

Comb Growths on the head of a cock or hen which are used as signs of a pullet coming into lay (erect and red) or poor health in a bird (limp and pale) (See figure 2)

Cull To remove and destroy sick or aged fowls from a flock

Day old chick A young chicken immediately after hatching

Feathering The period during which the down of the young chick is replaced by feather. This happens at about four weeks old.

Hen An adult female laying hen over the age of fifteen months

Incubation The period during which the embryo is growing inside the egg prior to hatching

Moult The period when a mature hen stops laying and her feathers fall out to be replaced by new growth

Point of Lay A young hen just about to come into lay

Poussin A meat bird weighing less then a spatchcock (see below)

Pullet Another term for a young hen from about twenty weeks old, (point of lay) to fifteen months old, when it has completed its first year of laying.

Stag A rooster over the age of two

Spatchcock A broiler at between 4-7 weeks of age weighing about 1kg live weight

Wattle Fleshy appendages on the throat and chin of some breeds of fowl

 

BEWARE AND PREPARE FOR COLD PERIODS

Chickens are generally "easy care" and hardy pets, but can have occasional problems as with any animals, particularly in very cold or hot conditions.

They can adapt to a range of environments, but like most animals they still require special care in the colder conditions. In winter we see a reduction in the daylight hours and chickens will naturally reduce their laying. Commercial egg producers use a variety of methods to ensure they have egg production all year round, for example they use lighting to ‘trick’ their hens into laying. Most of these methods however will not be feasible or necessary for the average backyard flock. So be prepared for periods of time when you will have reduced or no egg production. If you care for your chickens well though, you may be able to help them to continue to lay eggs (even if quantities are reduced) during winter.

Winter Essentials

Well insulated and ventilated coop.

  • Fresh water – check water frequently to ensure it hasn’t frozen.
  • Proper, complete and balanced nutrition.
  • Warm, fresh bedding such as straw for them to nest in.
  • In extreme cold - supplementary heat (heat lamp or heater) may also be needed.  
  • Check your birds frequently. 

 

Cold Hardy Breeds
If you live in an area that has particularly cold winters it may be best to start with a cold hardy breed. Some chicken breeds are hardier than others. Cold hardy breed usually have smaller combs, wattles and thicker plumage. Some of the popular cold hardy breeds include:

  • Ameraucanas: they come in a variety of colours and have blue eggs.
  • Black Australorp:  these excellent layers are hardy in cold and hotter climates. They are a large and impressive looking chicken.
  • Buff Orpingtons:  these big gentle birds are very cold hardy.
  • Rhode Island Red: are hot and cold hardy but can be a little more susceptible to frostbite on the comb.
  • Sussex: calm, gentle birds: Very cold hardy.
  • Isa Browns: this hybrid is a good layer and hardy in hot and cold conditions.
     

AFTER YOUR STUDY

Your knowledge and understanding of chickens, ducks, geese and other poultry will gradually develop as you move through this course.

By the time you graduate, your awareness of different breeds and different ways of keeping poultry will have expanded to a point where you ca make far more enlightened decisions about what birds to keep according to the situation you are considering. As an amateur, you will do a better job of raising your own birds; and as a professional, your expertise will be at a point where you can advise others with greater accuracy and in greater depth.

The course can be of real benefit for:

  • Families who wish to keep a few birds at home as pets and for eggs.
  • Breeders, retailers or others who supply birds, feed, cages or other needs to poultry owners.
  • Service professionals such as veterinary assistants, who wish to learn more about caring for poultry.
  • Anyone else with a passion for, or business interest in poultry.
