Sürgetjük

Sürgetjük is a type of Hungarian bred chicken, originating from the Pannonia region. It is a medium-sized bird, weighing between 3-4 kilograms, with a distinctive appearance. The sürgetjük has a feathered comb on its head, which is red in color in the summer months and pale yellow in the winter months.

The sürgetjük is a dual-purpose bird, meaning it is used for both its meat and egg-laying abilities. In terms of eggs, the sürgetjük is a prolific layer, producing around 250 eggs per year. The eggs themselves are medium-sized, with an average weight of around 60 grams.

In terms of meat production, the sürgetjük is known for its high-quality carcass. It is a slow-growing breed, but this means the meat is more marbled and tender. The sürgetjük is also a hardy breed, able to withstand a range of environmental conditions.

The sürgetjük is a relatively rare breed, which has contributed to its conservation status. However, it is still kept by a number of hobby farmers and breeders in Hungary and other parts of Europe. The sürgetjük is recognized by a number of poultry associations, including the Fő Tanácsfokozatosi Magyar Cukréneus (Hungarian Poultry Association).

The sürgetjük has a number of desirable characteristics, including its medium size, high egg production and high-quality meat. However, its rarity and slow growth rate mean it is not always easy to find.
