Weekday farmers: Canadian turkeys "flew in" Cheremshansky district
The Ministry of Agriculture and Food of the Republic of Tatarstan pays great attention to the development of small farms in the countryside. In the peasant farms and personal subsidiary farms of the republic a significant part of agricultural products is produced. But the most important thing is that farmers are engaged in their favorite business, which brings a stable income.
Thus, the Massarovy family from the Upper Kamenka of the Cheremshansky District for several years amazed their fellow villagers, breeding dozens of bird species in their farmstead. Chicks Fail and Tanzilya Massarovy hatch eggs from their own incubator, preferring "foreigners."
Recently, Canadian broilers of the breed, whose name cannot be spoken at once, Iza Hubbard, as well as Highbreed Converter turkey, appeared at the Massarovs farm.
“Iza Hubbard broiler eggs were purchased from Canada. From the half of these 130 eggs, chickens have already been bred, ”says the owner of Tanzilya.
Poults of breed Hybrid Converter are also from Canada. Massarova brought 30 eggs, 15 of which were “fruitful”. The weight of an adult bird of this breed reaches 20 kilograms.
And 13 chickens were born out of 15 eggs of the French guinea fowl. Massarovs say they are very sensitive. They squeal loudly, but it is worth seeing a cat or a dog, they start to scream anxiously, like a signal from a car, as if saying: “SOS, save us!”. “The French,” like the turkey poults, are well aware of how the mistress Invites them to eat.
““ Foreigners ”are quite picky about food. At first I gave compound feed. And now they are accustomed to boiled potatoes with the addition of fodder. Just have time to cook! ”- says Tanzilya Massarova.
There are three incubators in which they brought out. Having grown them up to 2-3 months, they sell a part. They left 25 of them. The hardworking family, in addition to poultry, contains cattle and farmsteads. Massarovs used to go to bed late and get up early. “Guinea fowls do not let us stay long in bed” the hostess says with a smile.
