Hilahila ka moa, waiho i na hua, a hehi i ka lepo. ʻOiai ʻaʻole hewa ke kiʻi kaulana o ka moa, ʻoi aku ka ʻokoʻa o nā moa. Nui nā ʻokoʻa o nā koi a me nā ʻano o nā ʻano moa he nui.
He mea maʻamau ka mālama ʻana i ka moa. He mea maʻalahi ke hoʻolako ʻia me kahi hua manu kokoke i kēlā me kēia lā – a hoʻokahi mai kahi kumu i ʻike ʻia, no laila ʻaʻole pono ʻoe e hopohopo e pili ana i ke kūlana hale o ka moa. A ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ma mua o ka mahiʻai moa ʻoihana. Inā mālama ʻoe i nā moa, paʻa mau kāu māla. ʻO ka nānā ʻana i nā holoholona he mea hoʻohauʻoli a hoihoi, no ka mea, e neʻe lākou kokoke i ka lā holoʻokoʻa, e ʻimi ana i ka meaʻai, hakakā no ke kūlana, hoʻomaʻamaʻa, ʻokiʻoki, a i ʻole hoʻokamakama. Eia kekahi, ʻai nā moa i loko o ka māla i nā mea ʻino e like me ka ticks, ants, anuhe, a me nā snails. Hoʻomoʻa lākou i ka lau nahele me kā lākou ʻōpala a hoʻohui i ka kala i ka māla.
Akā ʻaʻole kūpono kēlā me kēia moa i kēlā me kēia kahu a me kēlā me kēia māla. I kēlā me kēia hihia, pono e koho i kahi moa pedigree. Me ka moa crossbreed a i ʻole ka moa hybrid, hiki ke kū mai nā mea ʻoluʻolu ʻole ma waho a ma ke ʻano o ke ʻano. I loko o nā moa moʻopuna, ʻo nā ʻano o waho e like me ke ʻano o ke kino, ke kala o ka ʻili a me ka hulu, a me ka hulu e like mau. Akā ʻo nā ʻano o loko e like me ka brooding instinct, ka waihoʻoluʻu, a i ʻole ka helu a me ka nui o nā hua i hoʻopaʻa ʻia a ʻano liʻiliʻi wale nō i kēlā me kēia holoholona.
E ʻike i hea ʻoe
Aia i kēia manawa ma luna o 150 mau ʻano ma ka maʻamau ʻEulopa. No laila ʻaʻohe hemahema o ke koho. ʻOiai ʻoi aku ka like o ka hana maʻamau o kēlā me kēia ʻano moa, hiki ke ʻokoʻa ke ʻano a me nā hiʻohiʻona ma waena o nā ʻano. I loko o ka pua, ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, he liʻiliʻi nā ʻano like ʻole i hiki ke hoʻololi ʻia i kahi palena palena wale nō ma ka mālama ʻana iā lākou. ʻO ka mea e hoʻoholo i kekahi ʻano, no laila, ʻike lākou i kā lākou e komo ai. Ke kūʻai ʻana i nā moa, ʻaʻole pono ʻoe e nānā mua i ke kala a me ke ʻano o nā holoholona, akā i nā ʻano kūpono. ʻO kēia wale nō ke ala e hauʻoli ai i kāu hoa hulu no ka manawa lōʻihi a pale i ka hōʻeha. Akā pehea ʻoe e hoʻoholo ai i kahi moa e kūpono iā ʻoe a me ke kūlana?
ʻAʻole nā ʻano ʻano a pau he Winter Hardy
Pono e noʻonoʻo ʻia nā kūlana o waho. Inā he wahi liʻiliʻi wale nō ma ka hale paʻa a ma ka wahi hoʻoikaika kino, pono e kūʻai i kahi ʻano dwarf. He liʻiliʻi ka liʻiliʻi o ia mau moa, akā hiki ke lele maikaʻi. ʻOiai ʻaʻole maikaʻi loa nā moa, hiki i nā pua liʻiliʻi a māmā ke hele i loko o ka pā 60-iniha. ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o ka Dutch bantams a i ʻole ka Appenzeller pointed hoods i ʻike ʻia no ko lākou hiki ke lele maikaʻi.
ʻOiai he mau holoholona paʻakikī ka moa, ʻaʻole like nā ʻano ʻano a pau i ka wela wela. ʻO nā moa Rhineland a i ʻole nā moa Appenzell Bart, no ka laʻana, ua manaʻo ʻia he paʻakikī loa, hiki iā lākou ke pale i nā haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa. Me ko lākou mau piko liʻiliʻi, ʻaʻohe pilikia e hiki ke hoʻokuʻu i ko lākou mau maka. ʻO Minorcas, ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, me ko lākou puʻupuʻu nui i hoʻolaʻa ʻia no nā wahi mahana wela. Ma ko kakou mau latitu, nolaila, e malama pono ia i na malama hooilo. Ma ka laulā, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka hoʻokō ʻana o nā moa i ke anuanu ma mua o ka wela nui. ʻO ka mahana kūpono no ka moa ma waena o ʻumikumamāhiku a me iwakāluakūmāwalu degere. A laila mau ke kino o ka moa.
ʻAʻole pono ka moa e hoʻopili wale me kona puni akā me kona mau mea nona. Inā ʻoluʻolu ʻoe iā ʻoe iho, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka loaʻa ʻana o kahi pua mālie. Ma muli o ka hoʻololi pinepine ʻia ʻana o ko lākou ʻano noʻonoʻo i nā holoholona, ʻaʻole hiki ke lilo i nā holoholona ʻino, e ʻāwili a puni, a e hōʻeha paha iā lākou iho i ke kaʻina hana. ʻOiaʻiʻo, hiki i ka mea nāna ke hoʻololi i ka hilinaʻi o ka holoholona iā ia. Eia naʻe, ʻaʻole e loaʻa iā ia ka kūleʻa like me nā moa āpau, no ka mea, ʻoi aku ka kānalua o kekahi mau ʻano ma mua o nā mea ʻē aʻe.
ʻO nā ʻano moa mai ʻAsia, e like me Ko Shamo, ua manaʻo ʻia he hilinaʻi loa. ʻO nā pua Mediterranean, ma kekahi ʻaoʻao, hilahila a mālama ʻia, ʻoiai ʻo ka moa ʻo Appenzeller pointed-crested i hana i inoa nona iho he moa inquisitive a impulsive. Pono ka poʻe i loaʻa nā keiki i kahi ʻano mālie. E lilo ana kēia mau holoholona i mea hilinaʻi a, ma hope o ka manawa o ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa, hoʻomaka hoʻi e ʻai i ka palaoa mai ka lima aku a ʻae iā lākou iho e hoʻopā ʻia i ka holo.
Inā makemake ʻoe e mālama i nā moa no nā hua, ʻaʻole pono ʻoe e mālama i kahi ʻano i ʻike ʻia he broody. No ka mea, ke "hauʻoli" (broody) ka moa, ʻaʻole lākou e waiho hua. ʻOi aku ka makemake o nā Orpingtons a me Chabos e noho ma luna o nā hua. Uaʻikeʻia ka Leghorn a me nā Italia i mea hoʻolako maikaʻi loa i nā hua. Aia ka moa Kepani i ka hoomoe ana i 365 hua i ka makahiki.
Hoʻopilikia ʻia no ke koho kala
Ma kekahi ʻaoʻao, inā makemake ʻoe e pōmaikaʻi mai ka ʻiʻo moa, pono ʻoe e kiʻi i nā moa Mechelen. He ʻoi aku ke kaumaha o ke kino o ka Belgian ma mua o ʻehā kilokani a hoʻopaʻa i ka ʻai nui i loko o ka ipuhao. Inā ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻoholo inā makemake ʻoe i nā hua manu a i ʻole ka ʻiʻo, ʻōlelo ʻia kahi ʻano hana ʻelua. Loaʻa kēia i nā pua e like me ka Welsumer me nā hua 160 i kēlā me kēia makahiki a i ʻole ka Sussex me kahi hua o 180 mau hua i kēlā me kēia makahiki.
Inā hopohopo ʻoe i ka maʻemaʻe o nā holoholona, ʻaʻole pono ʻoe e koho i kahi ʻano me nā wāwae hulu. I nā lā pulu, lawe mai kēia mau mea i ka hou a me ka lepo i loko o ka coop, a pono ka mea mahiʻai moa e kiʻi i nā brooms a me nā ʻōpala e like me ia.
Ke hoʻoholo nei ʻoe i kahi ʻano, ua hao ʻia ʻoe no ke koho ʻana i ka waihoʻoluʻu plumage - a he nīnau wale nō kēia o ka ʻono. Hiki mai ka hulu moa i nā kala he nui ʻole. Loaʻa iā ʻoe ka koho nui loa me ka Wyandottes dwarf me 29 kala i kēia manawa. ʻO kaʻoiaʻiʻo, he mau kānaka ka moa, a inā paha he mau hiʻohiʻona plumage maʻamau kekahi mau ʻano, ʻaʻohe moa a ʻaʻohe moa e like me kekahi.
ʻO ka mea makemake e kiʻi i nā moa a ʻaʻole i hoʻoholo i kahi pua e noi ʻia e hoʻohuli i ka ʻaoʻao. Hōʻike ʻia nā ʻano ʻeono a me ko lākou ʻano maʻamau ma ka ʻaoʻao aʻe. Inā makemake ʻoe e ʻike hou aku e pili ana iā ia, ʻo ka puke "Hühner und Zwerghühner" na Horst Schmidt mai ka hale paʻi puke ʻo Ulm he koho maikaʻi.
