The rooster´s home

The roosters live in a land of 2000 meters, divided in five compartments. In each one of them there are roosters of the same age to avoid confrontations. This is thus by the aggressiveness of youngest. Altogether Chema counts on 300 roosters.

The hens are in another parcel of about 600 meters, divided by races with their corresponding rooster. To select the race of the rooster is easy, since it is seen in its pen; but with the hens it is necessary to number them so that when they be adult to cross them the corresponding male. From November to February Chema selects the hens and they are transferred to the incubators. Of this form Chema has obtained almost extinguished races.

The refuges are made with wood, tiles and an inner insulator against the cold one. Each certain meters there are wood elevations so that the roosters can be raised, since when they are raised in them no longer they itch.


The care and the work

The feeding of the roosters is natural: wheat, corn, barley and natural grass. Ever since they are born the chickens already begin to be vaccinated and pampered. It is necessary to carry far the cares of the roosters and to maintain the hen house clean to have these as impressive animals as Chema has them. A daily dedication is essential if we want that the diseases do not decrease the hen house.
