Philippine Native Chickens

 What is a native chicken?

Philippine native chicken is the common fowl found in

backyards of most rural households.
It is a mixture of different breeds and believed to have
descended from the domesticated
red jungle fowl.
It is usually single-combed and its shank color varies from yellow,
white, gray and black. The common plumage colors and patterns
of the native chickens are the following:

-reddish-brown( Dalusapi and Mayahin);

-silver laced with bluish-green tint (Talisayin);
-alternate barring of black, white, gray and reddish-brown
(Bulik);
-solid white (Puti);
-smoky-white to brownish-gray(Abuhin);
-brown to gray with white spots(Lasak);
-solid black (Itim).

 BREEDING

• The native hen starts laying eggs between 18-20 weeks

of age. At this age, it can be allowed to sit on its eggs
to hatch them. The native rooster, on the other hand, is
ready for breeding at age 20-24 weeks.
 BROODING
The traditional way of brooding allows the hen
to naturally nurture her chicks. Under this
natural brooding system, the hen provides the
needed heat to the chicks from her body. Also
the chicks are allowed to tag along the hen for
their food.
 INCUBATION
• Collect eggs and store them in a cool and dry
place. Store hatching eggs for a maximum of
10 days under room temperature. Storage
beyond these period will gradually decrease
the fertility of the eggs.
• For hatching purposes, incubate only sound
eggs that are 40-50 grams each, with good
ovoid shape and sound shell quality.
 INCUBATION
• Definition of "Incubation"
• In the poultry (eggs) industry;
• the process of hatching the eggs artificially
without the female birds using machine to
create artificial environment until the eggs is
hatched.
THINGS TO REMEMBER IN INCUBATION
• COLLECTION OF EGGS
• STORE FOR 7-10 DAYS
• LOADING @INCUBATOR
• SETTING OF INCUBATOR FOR PROPER TEMPERATURE
(97-110.F, 37. C
• LABELLING OF DATES
• PLACE WATER @TRAY
• RANGE TO 18-21 DAYS(KIDLING)
• GET THE CHICKS WITH THE PREPARED BROODER

 ARTIFICIAL BROODING
Under artificial system of brooding, house the
newly hatched native chicks to protect them from
predators and the effects of weather extremes.

Attach curtains made from old sacks, cloth or

newspapers to the sides of the house to regulate
the brooding temperature. The curtains should be
rolled up or down to maintain proper temperature
and ventilation.
 REARING OF THE DAY-OLD CHICKS
• Brooding is the process of supplying artificial
heat to the chicks from the time they are
taken out from the incubators up to the time
their bodies can control their heat
• requirements and they are covered with
feathers.
 BROODING TEMPERATURES
• AGE OF CHICKS BROODING TEMPERATURE
• (weeks) ( centigrade )

• 0-1 32.2-35.0 (90-95 F)

• 1-2 29.4-32.2 (85-90 F)
• 2-4 26.7-29.4 (80-85 F)
• above 4 weeks remove the supply of heat
CHICKS BEHAVIOUR IN A BROODER
• Fig. 1. The chicks feel comfortable and evenly
distributed around the hoover when the
temperature is RIGHT.
CHICKS BEHAVIOUR IN A BROODER
• Fig. 2. There is draft when the chicks wedge
behind the hoover.
CHICKS BEHAVIOUR IN A BROODER
• Fig. 3. It is too hot when the chicks open their
wings and move away from the heat source.

• Fig. 4. It is too cold when the chicks chip and
pile up under the hoover.
 PRINCIPLES OF FEEDING
• Feed is any substance that an animal may take
into his body and use there for building up
wasted tissues and maintaining natural
conditions. Aside from water, the different
compounds needed by animals are composed
of the following protein, carbohydrates, fats
and ash.
 OBJECTS OF FEEDING
• We feed our birds for the purpose of supplying
materials needed for the growth,
maintenance, production and reproduction of
eggs which is reproducing among fowls and
that will replace the tissues of the body that
are destroyed by the constant wear and tear.
 THE NUTRIENTS
• WATER- aids in digestion and absorption and
acts as carrier of food and as a tissue
lubricant.
• FATS- furnishes heat and energy
• ASH- furnishes materials for growth of bones
and for manufacture of egg shells.
• CARBOHYDRATES- furnish heat and energy
and materials for fattening.
