Spring to early summer is the peak season for chicken laying and breeding. For breeder flocks under flat rearing conditions, in order to increase the fertilization rate of breeding eggs, in addition to achieving a moderate male-female ratio and ensuring nutrition, in breeding management, it is necessary to comply with male and female sexual physiological functions and normal To provide convenience and create suitable conditions for natural mating. So, when and under what circumstances should male and female chickens be best bred?
According to the test record of a flock of chickens by experts: from dawn to dark, the average number of mating times per day was 8.8. Among them, the number of mating between 3 pm and 7 pm accounted for 73.8% of the total number of matings in the whole day, and 5-7 pm was the most concentrated, accounting for 48.8% of the whole day. This is because the hens are busy eating food in the early morning, and then start to lay eggs in the nest one after another. The hens do not like to mate and even ignore the roosters. After 3 o'clock in the afternoon, most of the hens had finished laying eggs and began to accept roosters for mating, and two hours before sunset, the hens all went to the sports field. At this time, both males and females have strong sexual desires, and their desire to mate is high. Some hens take the initiative to attract roosters to mate.
According to observation records, a rooster mates 8 times in 1 hour, among which, it mates 4 times in 10 minutes from 5:50 to 6 pm. The shortest mating interval is 1 minute. Therefore, it is best to breed male and female chickens after 3 o'clock in the afternoon. For breeder flocks under flat rearing conditions, it is necessary to consciously allow males and females to go to the sports field after 3 o'clock in the afternoon, so that they can mate as much as they want, so as to achieve the goal of increasing the fertilization rate of breeding eggs.
