A person who has hearing within the normal range can hear sounds that have frequencies between 20 and 20,000 Hz. The most important sounds we hear every day are in the 250 to 6,000 Hz range. Speech includes a mix of low and high frequency sounds:
We've had chickens for several years however we have started a new flock of 12 chicks. They are 6-8 weeks old with their adult feathers. We put them outside earlier this week in a separate space (an enclosed rabbit hutch with three solid sides) from the adult chicken.deally, chicks will not require a heat source when moving from brooder to coop. If the temperatures outside remain above 65Â°F and the chicks are at least 5 weeks old, they can probably move into the coop without supplemental heat.
If you wish to hang birds, do so after they have been plucked but not gutted. The timing is, again, personal preference, but in summer hang a young chicken in a cool flyproof place for 2 days; in winter, a week. This helps to break down the muscle fibres and tenderise the meat. Older birds may need longer.Supermarket broiler chickens are not hung at all, but as they are only 39 days old this does not matter. On a small scale, birds are likely to be very much older than this, therefore hanging can be useful.here are meat hygiene regulations abounding if you try and sell a processed bird. These are certainly achievable, but get experience on a small scale first. Before slaughter, birds of any species should be starved for 12 hours but still allowed access to water.
