The ÖTZ Chili is an laying oriented Dual-purpose chickenDas Zweinutzungshuhn bezeichnet Zuchtlinien, die sowohl für die Eierproduktion als auch für die Fleischgewinnung geeignet sind. Im Gegensatz zu spezialisierten Hochleistungstieren – bei denen entweder auf hohe Legeleistung (Legehennen) oder schnelles Fleischwachstum (Masthähnchen) gezüchtet werden – bietet das Zweinutzungshuhn eine Möglichkeit beide Eigenschaften in einem Tier zu vereinen. Da jedoch keine Spezialisierung vorliegt, sind die Leistungen bei Ei und Fleisch ausgeglichen und in der Regel etwas geringer, als die Leistungen von spezialisierten Tieren., coming from a cross of the pure breeds New Hampshire and White Rock. This paaring results in chicken with bright red plumage.
Utility crossingIn animal breeding, commercial crossbreeding refers to the targeted crossing of animals of two different breeds or breeding lines in order to combine the positive characteristics of both parents in the offspring. The aim is usually to improve characteristics such as health, performance or adaptability.

| Parameters | Performance |
|---|---|
| Optimum laying performance in 52 weeks | 250 - 270 eggs |
| Shell colour | light brown |
| Start of the laying period | approx. 20th week of live |
Further data on target weights and average feed consumption will be added shortly.
ÖTZ chili hens are curious, friendly, and people-oriented. They are pleasant to handle and have an open disposition.
Rapeseed in the ration can lead to fishy-smelling eggs. This must also be taken into account when the mobile barn moves over the intercrops like rapeseed or other cruciferous plants.
We are currently working on this problem in terms of breeding. However, as this may take some time, please take this into account when feeding.
| Parameters | Performance |
|---|---|
| Living weight end of 15th week of live | 1,6 kg |
| Living weight end of 17th week of live | 2.0 kg |
Further data on average weight gain and average feed conversion will be added shortly.
ÖTZ chili roosters are curious and sociable animals. However, it should be noted that dual-purpose roosters are generally much more active than conventional broilers.
The housing set-up should take into account the animals' willingness to move in order to prevent the occurrence of breast blisters and other injuries. Straw bales and raised levels are suitable for structuring the hutch, but also provide good resting areas for lower-ranking animals. From the 10th week of life, apart from daylight, additional light in the house is superfluous and should be switched off in favor of the calmer animals.
ÖTZ Chili chickens can be sorted as chicks: the roosters have light plumage, the hens dark plumage.
100% of brown chicks are female
100% of light-colored chicks are male.
Special knowledge fishy smelling eggs: During the digestion of cruciferous plants, the eggs of brown lays may have a fishy odor. This is caused by metabolic products that are stored in the egg. Trimethylamine (TMA) can enter the hen's body via the animal's metabolism, which produces TMA itself, or via molecules from which TMA can be formed. TMA is transported via the bloodstream to the liver, where an enzyme is responsible for the oxidation of TMA. The activity of this enzyme is inhibited in ÖTZ Coffee hens by various substances found in cruciferous vegetables, thus contributing to odor development.
