Je Wajua: Kuku Hahitaji Jogoo Ili Kutaga Mayai/Did You Know: A Hen Does Not Need a Cock to Lay Eggs

Kuku jike ana uwezo wa kutaga mayai bila hata uwepo wa jogoo. Kitu kitakachokuwa tofauti ni kwamba mayai hayatarurubishwa kwahiyo hayatoweza kutumika kuangulia vifaranga. Hii ndio sababu kuku wa kisasa wa mayai hufugwa bila majogoo. Mitaani kwetu mara nyingi watu husema mayai ya kienyeji yanawahi kuharibika, hii ni kwa sababu wafugaji wengi wa kuku wa kienyeji wanakuwa na kuku wa aina zote kwahiyo mayai yanayotagwa yanakuwa yamerutubishwa na yai lililorutubishwa likipata joto kidogo tu linaanza kutengeneza vifaranga na linakuwa sio zuri kwa kuliwa. Kwahiyo kwa wafugaji wanaofuga kuku ili kuuza mayai yawe ya kisasa au ya kienyeji, wanaweza kufuga majike tu ili kuzalisha mayai yatakayo dumu kwa muda mrefu.
A hen can lay eggs without mating with a cock. The difference will be these eggs can to be used to hatch chicks because they are not fertilized. Chicken farmers who only want to sell eggs and not hatch chicks do not need cocks because fertilized eggs do not stay fresh for a long time especially when they are kept where there is temperature above 20 degrees Celsius.
