Matters needing attention in raising chicks of native chicken

First, pay attention to the selection of varieties

Selected local chicken breeds should be selected. In this way, the chicks grow evenly, grow relatively fast, and the coat color is neat and consistent.

Pay attention to the indoor temperature

It was 35 ℃ ~ 32 ℃ at 1 week old, 31 ℃ ~ 24 ℃ at 2 week old, 23 ℃ ~ 20 ℃ at 4 week age, and decreased 0.5 ℃ per day after 1 week old.

Third, pay attention to the relative humidity

The indoor relative humidity is maintained at 55% "65%", that is, 60% "65%" 10 days ago and 55% "60%" 10 days later. The indoor air is fresh and has no pungent or eye-smelling sensation.

Fourth, pay attention to the supplementary light

Light can be maintained for 23 hours a day for the first 5 days and 17 hours for the next 17 hours (including natural light).

Pay attention to drinking and eating at the right time

Chicks should start eating and drinking as soon as possible, and feed and water continuously and eat freely. 5% glucose was added to the initial drinking water for two days, and 0.02% potassium permanganate was added to the drinking water on the third day.

Pay attention to high-density brooding

Before 15 days, it was 60,70 chicks per square meter, usually more than 5000 chicks per batch (depending on the demand of farmers to determine the size of the chicks). "net, bed, loose" combination, farmers according to the number of their own to properly transform the chicken house, requiring the indoor floor for cement floor, windows and floor windows, so that the air circulation and lighting is sufficient, and make a good net bed, chicken cage, three-dimensional three-story is appropriate. The number of net beds is determined by the number of chickens raised, which is generally calculated by 4520 / square meters (a little higher density in the early stage). The first layer of the net bed is 40 cm high from the ground, the height of the net bed is 30 cm, and the distance between the upper and lower layers is 20 cm. The dung-bearing board (three-layer plates can be used) should be used on the top of the first-and second-layer net bed, and the skeleton part of the net bed is made of wood or white bamboo. The sides and bottom of the net bed are fixed with a plastic net of 1 cm × 1 cm mesh, and material buckets and drinking fountains are placed in the net bed. The courtyard woodland is surrounded by a nylon net, and a pile is driven every 2 to 3 meters. The nylon net is tied to the pile and compacted with soil against the net edge of the ground. The area of the enclosed area is generally calculated on the basis of not less than 1.5 square meters per chicken, the wider the better. The bought warm-free chicks (chicks that have been raised) are raised in the net bed at the stage of 1 kg body weight, and reared in the enclosed courtyard woodland during the period from 1 kg to out of the fence (not in rainy days and frost and snow days). Feed continuously and eat freely. Raised in the net bed, the range of activity of the chicken is small, the energy consumption of the chicken body is low, and the weight gain is accelerated; when the chicken is scattered in the enclosed courtyard, it can prey on wild weeds and biological insects, change the food structure, and maintain the taste of native chicken meat.
