Cockerel Chicks
Cockerel is cheaper to buy and raise compared to broilers, and they thrive under most management conditions.
- They are very resistant to adverse environmental conditions.
- So, we often recommend them for new poultry farms that use the free-range system.
Feeding
- It is ideal to adhere strictly to their recommended feeding regimes and provide supplemental protein to the feed, as their bodies will utilize the protein to produce eggs and enhance feather appearance.
- Proven worldwide, this breed is renowned for its high feed intake capacity, feed conversion ratio, and ability to perform well in a variety of conditions. Thus, it is one of the best layer birds available to the Nigerian market and climate.
Features of cockerel chicks
- A cockerel is a young rooster, a male chicken that has not been castrated. The point when a chicken transitions from being a cockerel to a rooster is a bit ambiguous, but in general, a rooster is a chicken that has fully matured, and mated with hens, while a cockerel is either still growing, or inexperienced with hens.
- When a cockerel is castrated, it becomes a capon. Capons do not develop in the same way as uncastrated birds, and they tend to be calmer and easier to handle as well as physically different from roosters and cockerels.
- Excellent livability in different climates.
- Adaptable to the various housing (battery cages, deep litter, free-range) and management systems.
- Once a cockerel matures into a rooster, he will be happiest with a flock of hens to look after.
