Breeds of chickens bred in Hungary are considered among their best. These include Madyarov - chickens meat productivity.
These birds quickly reach puberty and build muscle well. However, for this hens, the Madyars need to be properly fed, otherwise their growth will slow down significantly.
The Magyar chickens were obtained by crossing chickens, from time immemorial living in the territory of Hungary, with Orpingtons. As a result, breeders managed to get a fast-growing bird with good muscle mass.
After receiving offspring, experts selected only the largest and most hardy birds in order to create chickens that are immune to any weather conditions.
Work is continuing on the creation of more durable and unpretentious Magyar, since the resulting breed requires the use of particularly nutritious food to maintain body weight.
Description of breed Magyar
Magyars are large domestic birds. They are characterized by a large and massive torso.
It grows fluffy plumage, which visually further increases the size of the bird. It also hides well the shape of the body of these chickens, so their figure does not seem angular.
The back of the Madyar is large and wide. It ends abruptly, turning into a small but lush tail. In relation to the body, it is located at a slight angle. On the tail of the roosters are long and rounded braids.
Breast chickens Magyar full, like many chickens of meat species. The belly is rounded and wide. The wings fit well to the body of the bird, are located almost horizontally in relation to the back.
The head is small, has a red, non-feathered face. The eyes are small, bright red or orange. Roosters have a small crest with weak teeth. Chickens have a comb of almost the same size.
The earlobes of cocks and hens are round in shape, painted white. Earrings are not very long, have a rounding at its end. Legs of normal length, plumage on them is completely absent. Fingers far apart, long.
If you look at a few photos of Pavlovsky chickens, you will undoubtedly be interested in them.Camping chickens, of course, are not as popular as Pavlovsky. However, they have something to brag about ... Read the article about them.
Madyarov chickens differ from roosters in a fuller belly. Because of this, they seem to be more massive than roosters, although they have less body weight. As for color, then both roosters and chickens have a bright red-brown color. In this case, the tail of roosters almost always remains dark, almost black.
Features
Magyars were specially deduced by breeders for maintenance on personal plots.
That is why these birds tolerate cold and heat, and young animals do not suffer from sudden changes in temperature and humidity in the house. These virtues allow the Magyars to start even to novice poultry lovers.
Laying birds show maternal instinct wonders. Usually, chickens hatch safely from all eggs in clutch. Immediately after spitting, the mother hen always leads her chickens and closely watches them. A beginner breeder will surely be pleased with this feature of birds, since there is no need to spend additional funds to purchase an incubator.
Magyars are gaining weight. In the shortest possible time, you can get 3 kg of quality meat. Of course, chickens of other species can gain much more weight, but, as a rule, it takes a longer period of time.
The only downside is the high requirements for feeding standards. If the Magyars do not get enough protein feed, they can quickly lose weight. This is especially true for chickens, as it most needs to receive valuable proteins.
Content and cultivation
These chickens were specially created for keeping on all yards.
This fact allows breeding chickens in almost any conditions: they can live in an ordinary house and in aviaries. However, they need to equip a good walking yard, where chickens will collect pasture.
Magyars tolerate cold winters and hot summers because of the lush feather cover. Even while resting in the house, feathers reliably protect chickens from overcooling, so there is no need to do additional heating in it.
In especially severe weather, hay mixed with peat can be laid on the floor of an open-air cage. During the interaction of these two plant components, heat is released, allowing the birds to receive additional heating.
After warming the house with such a mixture, the breeder will have a new care: litter needs to be changed regularly, so that different pathogens could not live there. Unfortunately, the Magyars can easily get sick, so in order to increase their immunity, they can add vitamins and other additives to their food.
Also Magyar chickens should always receive proper nutrition. For these purposes, perfectly suited industrial feed with a high content of proteins. In addition to animal feed, birds can be given a mix of corn, wheat, barley and peas. On such a nutritious feed, chickens grow very quickly. Regular weighing is used to control their weight.
Specifications
The live weight of the Magyar roosters can vary from 2.5 to 3 kg, and the chickens from 2 to 2.5. At the same time, hens can produce up to about 180 eggs. Some breeders argue that the egg productivity of these birds can directly depend on the conditions of detention.
With quality food and good weather, birds can lay more than 200 brown-shelled eggs per year. 55 g eggs are perfect for incubation.
