Reference scheme for the construction of native chicken free-range chicken house

This time, two new chicken houses are located in the center of the orchard facing south, and the geographical environment is superior, which is conducive to chicken foraging activities. This paper puts forward the following suggestions on the construction of the new chicken house for leaders' reference.

Construction of free-range chicken house for native chicken

1. The height of the floor inside the chicken house should be 25mm higher than the floor outside the house, otherwise, the floor and bedding of the chicken house will be wet, leading to the occurrence of diseases of the chicken flock. In addition, Rain Water will pour the chicken house back into the chicken house in case of rainstorm.

2. The color of the plastic window of the shutter of the chicken coop, south and north, the lower part of the shutter should be dark, the upper part should be transparent, and the upper transparent part should account for no more than 1/3 of the window area. The lower part of the upper and lower shutter should be equipped with facilities to keep warm and prevent thieves from entering.

3. The roof of the henhouse should be covered with straw for heat insulation and heat preservation.

4. The door for people to enter and leave the chicken house should be firm and locked, and eaves should be made above the window to prevent Rain Water from drifting in.

5. Windows should be set up on the east and west walls of the chicken house to facilitate ventilation and cooling in summer.

6. Each small henhouse opens a floor window for chickens to enter and exit, and the adjacent floor windows should not face the same side.

7. Dig a well between the two new henhouses, which is used for drinking water and flushing the henhouses. If necessary, the two sheds are separated by a purse seine.

8. The henhouse will be built from the north to the middle, starting from 10 meters, with a width of 2.5 meters and a simple rain awning extending to the far end, with a height of 1.5 meters, for shading chickens and avoiding rainstorm, and water pipes and automatic drinking fountains will be installed in the sheds, or independent rain sheds will be built above each automatic drinking fountain, with the area of each shed determined according to the situation (according to the density of fruit trees), and the distance between each drinking fountain will be 10 Mur12 meters.

9. The land outside the henhouse should be properly leveled, and the ditch should be covered to make it convenient for chickens to get in and out and walk outside.

10. There are 30 automatic drinking fountains in the chicken house, 20 outside the chicken house, 60 large material buckets and 2 sprayers.

11. The grass leaves are dry in winter and the insects hibernate, which is not suitable for raising chickens. If you want to do so, you must provide the chickens with corn meal, soybean meal, wheat bran, a large number of leftover vegetables and vegetables in the greenhouse and other organic wastes. At present, the leftover vegetables can be eaten by chickens after picking in the greenhouse.

12. The henhouse should arrange for someone to be on duty and keep at least two dogs for vigilance.

13. Build roads outside the chicken coop, install water and electricity in the chicken coop, set up 4 energy-saving street lights, and set up a stronger purse seine outside the orchard to prevent chickens from being stolen and fleeing.

This is the end of the construction plan of the free-range native chicken house introduced by the editor. Here, the editor will continue to introduce the points for attention of the free-range native chicken, because the local chicken has always been one of people's favorite foods. and the taste is more delicious than ordinary chicken, but no matter what kind of chicken is skillful in breeding, especially for native chickens. So what do native chickens need to pay attention to when raising them? Let's take a look at it together.

Environmental selection of free-range native chicken

Choose to stay away from village residential areas, slaughterhouses, schools, chemical plants, other breeding farms, industrial and mining areas and trunk roads, the environment is quiet in the mountains, it is best to plant shrubs, tea, pines, bamboo, fruit trees, etc., the slope is 3-40 degrees (elevation between the slope and the horizontal plane), the hills are better. There is clean well water or spring water nearby. Choose the leeward and sunny flat land, the sandy loam soil is more suitable, the drainage is smooth, the water seepage is fast, and the terrain is dry. With hollow brick walls, cement tiles to cover the roof, wood or bamboo and other building materials, build an east-west direction, sit north-south chicken coop, citron height of about 2 meters, ridge height of 3 meters, length of 50 meters, span of 5-10 meters, about 500 square meters, can raise 3000-4000 native chickens, open the door to the south, leaving floor windows and two-meter-wide corridors, north walls with windows, surrounded by drains, chicken coops can be ventilated and insulated, and the ground should be dry The ground can be rammed with sand and gravel, and there is no need to make a cement floor, which can be covered with foam, rice husk, etc., without stagnant water. Each group of 2000-4000 birds, even if there is surplus funds can be rearranged in a place about one kilometer away from the second sub-field, 100-500 per mu of mountain is appropriate, brooding can be raised in the mountain room with a weight of about half a jin and released into the mountain forest, the first three days of care, less release, no fence, the native chicken's homing is strong, will naturally know to go home.

As the henhouse is used to let chickens rest, lay eggs, shelter from the wind and rain, so each farm must adopt the "full-in-all-out system" to prevent the occurrence of diseases.

Breed selection of free-range native chicken

Native chicken is also called grass chicken, firewood chicken, local chicken and so on. There are many native chicken breeds, and our ancestors have made continuous choices for a long time to form native chickens with different body shapes, coat colors and laying performance in different regions.

The more high-quality native chicken breeds are Xuanzhou Yellow Chicken in Anhui Province, Suyang Yellow Chicken, Zhejiang Xianju Chicken, Beijing Oil Chicken, Yunnan Camellia Chicken, Qingyuan Ma Chicken, Gushi Chicken, Emei Black Chicken, Xiaoshan Chicken, Shouguang Chicken, Taoyuan Chicken, Hetian Chicken and so on. Some are egg type, some are meat type, most of the weight is concentrated between 2-4 jin, the number of eggs is about 500 days can produce about 120-180. The male-female ratio is required to be 1:8-10. It is better to choose your own local chicken, because the consumption of resources must be a local habit, and the local chicken is better adapted to the local climate and environment.
