The first chickens that appeared in the royal., Were called
simple or Russian. The roosters had a well-developed red
comb and the same earrings on the sides of the head, golden
plumage on the neck, dark red or rusty red feathers,
fiery coloration of the back with metallic green
the ebb of large sickle braids. The chicken had a small
crest and had a modest partridge plumage of brownish
tones with an indistinct pattern on the back and a reddish pattern
on the neck.
Like their wild ancestors, domestic chickens live on
earth. They spend the whole day on their feet, which corresponds to
the structure of their limbs. Their whole life, except for an overnight stay,
connected to the surface of the earth. Strong legs save from
pursuers. Not content with the food that remains
on the surface of the earth, chickens tear
the soil, looking for a suitable food for themselves – worms,
larvae, germinating seeds. They also tear themselves apart
bathing pits to get rid of annoying insects.
Finally, the legs serve as an instrument of protection: roosters have
on the tarsus pointed horny spurs with which they apply
blows to each other during fights.
Chickens rush in the thickets of weeds, in the crevices between the stacked
logs – in a word, in a very secluded place on the ground.
And just for the night, the chicken takes off to roost: there
she is less in danger (again, the habit of wild
ancestors).
Useful qualities and valuable inclinations that already existed in
wild chickens, when domesticated, were improved
in various directions. Many breeds have been obtained,
diverse in appearance and unequal in economic
value. Currently, there are three directions
productivity of chickens: egg, meat and meat-egg, or
general use.
Chickens of egg breeds have the highest egg production,
small weight, lively temperament. They feed well
on walks, are distinguished by good early maturity. Young growth
starts laying at 4 months of age. Changed man
chicken beyond recognition: bank chickens gave 10-30
eggs per year, modern breeds – more than three hundred.
There are many breeds of chickens in the world, different in
type, color, breeding characteristics and direction
use. Different breeds have different colors of eggs,
for example: white, brown, green, blue, red
(see Chicken egg). Currently in the European
the poultry standard includes about 180 chicken breeds.
However, in general, there are many more of them on Earth.
From an economic point of view and by nature, the main
breed products can be divided into three main groups:
egg breeds, meat and egg breeds and meat breeds.
Chicken should be chosen with eyes and nose – this is the main advice of cooks
of all times and peoples. As soon as you smell even a faint smell
rotten stuff, give up the purchase. And take a close look at the outside

so do not pay attention to chickens wrapped in colored bags.

rounded breast without prominent keel bone and pale pink
meat. Make sure that the skin is not grayish, but with a pinkish tint
pale yellow in color.
