Abantu abaningi bangena ezinkukhwini zasemuva njengendlela yokuzilibazisa, kodwa futhi ngoba bafuna amaqanda. Njengoba isisho sithi, 'Izinkukhu: Izilwane ezifuywayo ezidla ukudla kwasekuseni.' Abantu abaningi abasaqala ukufuya izinkukhu bayazibuza ukuthi yiziphi izinhlobo noma izinhlobo zezinkukhu ezilungele ukuzalela amaqanda. Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi izinhlobo eziningi zezinkukhu ezithandwa kakhulu ziyizingqimba zamaqanda eziphezulu.
Sihlanganise uhlu lwezingqimba zamaqanda eziyishumi nambili
Lolu hlu luqukethe ulwazi oluqoqwe kuma-athikili ahlukahlukene futhi lungase lungabi ulwazi lwawo wonke umuntu. Ukwengeza, abantu abaningi bazothi olunye uhlobo lwenkukhu abanalo lubeka kakhulu kunanoma iyiphi yalezi. Okungenzeka ukuthi kuyiqiniso. Ngakho-ke nakuba ingekho isayensi enembile lapho izinkukhu zizalela khona amaqanda amaningi ngonyaka, sinomuzwa wokuthi lezi zinyoni ezidumile ziyisithombe esihle sezinye izingqimba ezinhle kakhulu ezizungezile. Khumbula ukuthi izinombolo ziyisilinganiso seminyaka yokubeka isikhukhukazi.
Nazi Izendlalelo Zeqanda Eziphezulu Ezingu-Dozen Zomhlambi Ongasemuva:

ISA Brown:Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi ukukhetha kwethu ungqimba lwamaqanda aphezulu akuyona inkukhu ekhulisiwe. Insundu ye-ISA iwuhlobo oluyingxube yenkukhu ye-Sex Link okukholakala ukuthi yaba umphumela weziphambano ezinzima, ezihlanganisa i-Rhode Island Red kanye ne-Rhode Island White. I-ISA imele i-Institut de Sélection Animale, inkampani eyathuthukisa i-hybrid ngo-1978 yokukhiqiza amaqanda futhi igama manje seliyigama lomkhiqizo. I-ISA Browns ithambile, inobungane, futhi ayinakekeli kahle futhi ingabekela amaqanda amakhulu ansundu angaba ngu-350 ngonyaka! Ngeshwa, lokhu kukhiqizwa kwamaqanda okuphezulu nakho kuholela esikhathini esifushane sokuphila kwalezi zinyoni ezimangalisayo, kodwa noma kunjalo sicabanga ukuthi zingezengezo ezijabulisayo emhlambini wasemuva.

I-Leghorn:Inkukhu emhlophe ecatshangwayo eyenziwe yaduma opopayi be-Looney Tunes iwuhlobo lwenkukhu oludumile kanye nongqimba lwamaqanda oluningi. (Nakuba, akuwona wonke ama-Leghorn amhlophe). Zibekela amaqanda amhlophe acishe abe ngu-280-320 ngonyaka futhi eza ngemibala ehlukahlukene namaphethini. Banobungane, bamatasatasa, bathanda ukudla ukudla, bathwala kahle ukuvalelwa, futhi bafaneleka kahle kunoma yiliphi izinga lokushisa.

I-Golden Comet:Lezi zinkukhu ziwuhlobo lwesimanje lokuzalela amaqanda. Ziyisiphambano phakathi kweRhode Island Red kanye ne-White Leghorn. Ingxubevange inika iGolden Comet okuhle kakhulu kuzo zombili izinhlobo, ilala ngaphambili, njengeLeghorn, futhi inomoya omuhle, njengeRed Island Red. Ngaphandle kokuzalela amaqanda angaba ngu-250-300 amakhulu, ngokuvamile ansundu ngokumnyama ngonyaka, lezi zikhukhukazi zithanda ukuhlala nabantu futhi azinankinga nokucoshwa, okuwenza abe umhlambi ophelele lapho kuhlala khona izingane.

I-Rhode Island Red:Lezi zinyoni ziyinkukhu yokuya kunoma ubani ofuna ukwengeza ungqimba lwamaqanda olunobungane emhlambini wabo ongasemuva. Izingqimba zamaqanda ezinelukuluku, ezikamama, ezimnandi, ezimatasa, nezinhle kakhulu ezinye zezimpawu ezithandekayo ze-RIR. Izinyoni eziqinile kuzo zonke izinkathi zonyaka, i-Rhode Island Red ingabekela amaqanda amakhulu angama-300 amakhulu ngonyaka. Kulula ukubona ukuthi kungani lolu hlobo lwenkukhu lufuywa ukuze kwenziwe inhlanganisela yezinye izinyoni ezinhle kakhulu.

I-Australorp:Le nkukhu, edabuka e-Australia, yaduma ngenxa yamakhono ayo okuzalanisa amaqanda. Ngokuvamile ziba mnyama ngombala nezimpaphe ezicwebezelayo. Ziwuhlobo oluzolile futhi olumnandi oluzalela amaqanda angaba ngu-250-300 ansundu ngokukhanyayo ngonyaka. Ziyizendlalelo ezinhle ngisho nalapho kushisa, azikhathazi ukuvalelwa, futhi zivame ukuba sohlangothini olunamahloni.

I-Speckled Sussex:Izimpaphe ezinemibala ehlukile ku-Speckled Sussex zingenye yezimpawu ezijabulisayo zalezi zinkukhu. Banelukuluku lokwazi, bamnene, bayaxoxa, futhi bafaneleka kahle kunoma yisiphi isimo sezulu. Ama-Speckled Sussex angamafolishi amahle okuthola mahhala, kodwa ajabule ngokuvalelwa. Ubuntu bazo kanye nezimpaphe ezinhle zenziwa ngcono ukubekela amaqanda abo okuhle kakhulu—amaqanda ansundu ngokukhanyayo angama-250-300 ngonyaka.

I-Ameraucana:Inkukhu ye-Ameraucana yathathwa eqandeni eliluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka elibeka i-Araucanas, kodwa ayinazo izinkinga zokuzalanisa ezifanayo ezibonwa ngama-Araucanas. Ama-Ameraucana anama-muffs amahle nentshebe futhi ayizinyoni ezimnandi kakhulu ezikwazi ukufukamela. Zingabekela amaqanda afinyelela ku-250 aphakathi nendawo ukuya amakhulu aluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka ngonyaka. Ama-Ameraucana afika ngemibala ehlukahlukene kanye namaphethini wezimpaphe. Akufanele zididaniswe nama-Easter Eggers, ayingxube ehlanganisa isakhi sofuzo samaqanda aluhlaza.

I-Barred Rock:Ngezinye izikhathi futhi ebizwa ngokuthi i-Plymouth Rocks noma i-Barred Plymouth Rocks ingenye yezintandokazi ezidumile ngaso sonke isikhathi e-US Ethuthukiswe eNew England (ngokusobala) ngokuwela i-Dominiques ne-Black Javas, iphethini yezimpaphe ezivinjelwe kwakungeyokuqala futhi eminye imibala yengezwa kamuva. Lezi zinyoni eziqinile zithambile, zinobungane futhi ziyakwazi ukubekezelela amazinga okushisa abandayo. I-Barred Rocks ingabekela amaqanda angaba ngu-250 amakhulu ansundu ngonyaka.

I-Wyandotte:I-Wyandottes yasheshe yaba intandokazi phakathi kwabanikazi bezinkukhu zasegcekeni ngenxa yobuntu babo obulula, obuqinile, ukukhiqizwa kwamaqanda, kanye nezinhlobonhlobo zezimpaphe ezinhle. Uhlobo lokuqala bekunguSilver Laced, futhi manje ungathola i-Golden Laced, I-Silver Penciled, Blue Laced, Partridge, Columbian, Black, White, Buff, nokuningi. Bathambile, baqinile, bayakwazi ukumelana nokuvalelwa, futhi bayathanda ukudla ukudla. Ngaphandle kokuba izibukeli ezimangalisayo, ama-Wyandotte angabekela amaqanda amakhulu ansundu angaba ngu-200 ngonyaka.

I-Copper Marans:Ama-Black Copper Marans athandwa kakhulu kuma-Marans, kodwa kukhona ne-Blue Copper kanye ne-French Black Copper Marans. Aziwa ngokubekela amaqanda ansundu amnyama kakhulu nxazonke, ama-Marans ngokuvamile azolile, aqinile, futhi abekezelela ukuvalelwa kahle. Futhi zingamafolishi amahle ngaphandle kokulimaza kakhulu ingadi yakho. I-Copper Marans izonikeza umnikazi wenkukhu yasemuva cishe amaqanda angama-200 amakhulu ansundu kashokoledi ngonyaka.

Barnevelder:I-Barnevelder iwuhlobo lwamaDashi lwenkukhu oluthandwa kakhulu e-US, mhlawumbe ngenxa yezimpaphe zayo ezihlukile, isimo esimnene, namaqanda ansundu ngokumnyama. Inkukhu ye-Barnevelder inamaphethini ensiba afana neleyisi ansundu kanye namnyama, nezinhlobo ezineleyisi ephindwe kabili neluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka eziphuma yonke indawo. Banobungane, babekezelela amakhaza, futhi bangavalelwa. Okuhle kunakho konke, la mantombazane amahle angazalela amaqanda amakhulu ansundu amnyama angama-175-200 ngonyaka.

I-Orpington:Alukho uhlu lwezinkukhu zasegcekeni oluzoqedwa ngaphandle kwe-Orpington. Ebizwa ngokuthi "inja yethanga" yezwe lezinkukhu, ama-Orpingtons ayimfuneko kunoma yimuphi umhlambi. Iza ngezinhlobo ze-Buff, Black, Lavender, kanye ne-Splash, uma sibala ezimbalwa, futhi zinomusa, zimnene, izikhukhukazi ezinothando. Ziphathwa kalula, okuzenza ziphelele kubantu bezinkukhu abanezingane noma labo abafuna nje ukuba nobungane nomhlambi wabo. Bangakwazi ukubekezelela amakhaza, babe namahloni, futhi bangakhathazeki ngokuvalelwa. Lezi zinkukhu ezifuywayo zingaphinda zizalele amaqanda angama-200 amakhulu, ansundu ngonyaka.

Ezinye izinkukhu okufanele zithole amagama ahloniphekile ngokukhiqizwa kwamaqanda yiNew Hampshire Reds, Anconas, Delawares, Welsummer, kanye neSexlinks.

Futhi khumbula ukuthi ziningi izinto ezizothinta ukukhiqizwa kweqanda lesikhukhukazi.Ezinye zalezi zici yilezi:
● Ubudala
● Izinga lokushisa
● Izifo, ukugula, noma izimuncagazi
● Umswakama
● Ikhwalithi yokuphakelayo
● Impilo iyonke
● Ukukhanya kwasemini
● Ukuntuleka kwamanzi
● Ukudangala
.Abantu abaningi babona ukwehla noma ukumiswa ngokuphelele kokukhiqizwa kwamaqanda ebusika lapho izinsuku ziba mfishane, ngesikhathi se-molt yasekwindla, lapho kushisa kakhulu, noma lapho isikhukhukazi sizanyana ngokukhethekile. Futhi, lezi zinombolo ziyizilinganiso zohlobo ngalunye lweminyaka yesikhukhukazi sokuzala kwamaqanda.
