Important Knowledge Of Birds

Birds are vertebrate, warm-blooded animals that walk, jump or stand only on the hind limbs, while the fore limbs are modified like wings which, like many other unique anatomical features that allow them, in most cases, fly, but not all fly. They have the body covered with feathers and, the current birds, a horny beak without teeth. To reproduce they lay eggs, which they incubate until they hatch.

Its taxonomic group is called the class Aves (the word is Latin and is in the plural, in the singular it would be avis) for classical systematics, but in current phylogenetic systematics this clade has no rank, and is included in turn successively within the clades: Theropoda, Dinosauria, Archosauria, Sauropsida, Tetrapoda, etc., although thBirds are vertebrate, warm-blooded animals that walk, jump or stand only on the hind limbs, while the fore limbs are modified like wings which, like many other unique anatomical features that allow them, in most cases, fly, but not all fly.

Birds originated from bipedal carnivorous dinosaurs of the Jurassic, 150-200 million years ago. Its subsequent evolution gave rise, after strong radiation, to the more than 10,000 current species (Clements's latest list inclere are more intermediate nests with denomination.

Its subsequent evolution gave rise, after strong radiation, to the more than 10,000 current species (Clements's latest list includes 10,157 living species plus 153 extinct in historical times). Birds are the most diverse tetrapods; however, they have a great morphological homogeneity compared to mammals. The kinship relationships of bird families cannot always be defined by morphology, but with DNA analysis they began to be clarified.

Birds inhabit all terrestrial biomes, and also all oceans. The size can be from 6.4 cm in the hummingbird to 2.74 meters in the ostrich. Behaviors are diverse and notable, such as nesting, feeding of young, migrations, mating, and the tendency to group association. Communication between birds is variable and can involve visual cues, calls, and songs. Some emit a great diversity of sounds, and stand out for their intelligence and the ability to transmit cultural knowledge to new generations.

The human being has had an intense relationship with birds. In the human economy, poultry and game are sources of food. Songbirds and parrots are popular as pets. Down from domestic ducks and geese is used to fill pillows, and in the past many birds were hunted to adorn hats with their feathers. Guano from birds is used in soil fertilization. Some birds are revered or disowned for religious reasons, superstitions, or erroneous prejudices. Many are cultural symbols and frequent reference for art. In the last 500 years, more than 150 species have become extinct as a result of human activities, and currently there are more than 1200 threatened bird species that need efforts for their conservation.

Many farmers keep decorative chickens on their farms in recent years. Cochinchin is one such species. These birds not only look great, but also have an excellent taste of meat. Detailed descriptions and photos of the species can be found below.

General description of breeds and conditions of keeping chickens

Cochinchins are beautiful chickens with an original appearance. The body structure of these birds is large and massive, which distinguishes them from other species. Another feature is that the roosters have a nice and juicy tail and legs are completely covered with feathers. The head of these birds is small, the transition from the neck to the shoulders has a strong bending shape. The color of the beak is yellow.

Chickens of this breed are quiet and do not pose a problem for farmers, the analysis of which can be seen below. Cochinquins can not be found on large poultry farms. More decorative chickens are kept in home areas.

Cochinchins, like Orpingtons, do not know how to fly, so they do not need to build high fences .... These chickens winter well in uninsulated poultry houses. Make sure that there is no high humidity in the room, as this will adversely affect the condition of the feathers on the feet. These chickens live quietly in cages, but farmers find it difficult to use this composition of the genus Cochinchin.

Features increased productivity

The main direction of the genus Cochin is meat. Here are the main features of the productivity of chickens:

females weigh 4 kg, males - 5 kg (dwarf Cochinchins weigh no more than 1.2 kg);

Hundreds of eggs are laid per hen per season and egg production increases in winter;

The average weight of each egg - about 55 grams, the shell is light brown.

Thanks to the hard work of growers, there are now several species of Koxinhinov. Let's take a closer look at the description of each.

These colored chickens are the most common. The feathers have a bright and rich yellow color, so they are often called light-colored cochin, but the tail is slightly darker pitch black. The beak should have the same shade as the bird's feathers. Any white, black or other spots are considered marriage, such chickens do not participate in breeding.

Blue Cochinchins - unusual and beautiful chickens ... The feathers and tail are equally colored. The wings, neck and head may be black. White down is allowed. The beak is yellow. The presence of white marks on the tail and the color of yellowish feathers is considered to be  a marriage and the Black is common in the genus Cochin. All ends, including the shaft, should be the black with a slightly greenish tint. Purple color is undesirable. The lower color can be white, but not visible under the main feather. The birds have yellow or dark beaks. The color of brown feathers is considered a marriage.

These colorful chickens are less common. The head of the rooster is striped, brown-red. The feathers on his neck should be rich in gold. Each feather has a black longitudinal stripe. The flight feathers should be brown on the outside and black on the inside. Chest, tail and abdomen are dark brown, lower gray.

The chickens are so colorful. Their feathers should have a uniform brown-gold color. Each feather has a border that repeats the contour. 

Thyme marriage is considered to be a red or reddish color (in roosters), the absence of characteristic edges on the feathers, white spots, light belly and chest.
