Key points of stocking technology of mountain native chicken

Chicks are afraid of the cold. Farmers should be prepared in advance before buying warm-free chickens in spring.

During the transition period, a cottage should be prepared to do a good job of sanitation and cleaning in advance, while the doors and windows should be relatively closed and bright to prevent thieves from entering; the transition chicken house should not be too spacious and too wide, 100 chicks should be 5 square meters, and the room can be separated by planks.

The temperature in spring is sometimes high and sometimes low, so measures must be taken to keep warm. In the countryside, you can put some bedding grass or coal ash or cardboard in the transitional chicken coop. In case of late spring cold and a large number of chickens, the henhouse can consider the heating of electric light bulbs, heaters and coal stoves.

In addition, it should be equipped with drinking plates and feed pots.

Chicks should not be stocked directly in the mountain forest. They should be kept in a transitional chicken house for a period of time until they can fully adapt to the external climate. At the same time, they should also pay attention to the following points--

Feed should be mixed in various ways. If you are prepared to have full-price broiler feed, at the beginning, you can mix and feed 60% of the full-price feed, 40% of corn meal, wheat bran, rice bran and so on, and then gradually reduce the proportion of full-price broiler feed. Soybeans or beans should be added to the feed (soybeans can be cooked in Hu bean bowls, but need to be fried and crushed, and the proportion is less than 20%).

It is best to let the chicks feed freely. Let the chicks gain weight as soon as possible, adapt to the late free-range environment in advance, and ensure enough clean drinking water.

Add some chopped feed appropriately every day to exercise gastrointestinal function.

Often observe the chicken flock, find problems and deal with them in time. If the chick is too cold, the heat preservation should be strengthened, and the chick gasping for breath should be ventilated and ventilated in time.

Do a good job in coccidiosis prevention. Chickens are most likely to get coccidiosis, and the main symptom is red dung. At the beginning, anti-coccidiosis drugs should be added to the feed every 10 days or so for three consecutive days, and then the times of drug feeding should be reduced.

Control chicken pecking in time. In the chicken stage, if the lack of nutrition is most likely to produce pecking habit, that is, chasing anus pecking, feather pecking, crown pecking and other phenomena, when pecking phenomenon occurs, the proportion of full price feed or the proportion of soybean meal and beans should be increased, and more green feed should be added to increase nutrition. Coccidiosis and pecking habit are the main causes of chicken death, which should be paid special attention to.

At the end of the transition period, after the beginning of stocking, it is best to build a closed free-range circle between the chicken house and the external environment to facilitate management. When the number of chickens is large, the Arbor can be set up in the free-range, reasonable distribution of drinking water and so on.

If the weight of the chicken is close to 2 jin, it should be transferred to a simple chicken house. At this stage, corn meal, wheat bran and rice bran should be mixed with soybean meal (or beans) in order to achieve a good weight gain effect.

At least twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening, the chickens are allowed to forage freely in the wild. Supplements are best placed in a simple chicken house feed trough to ensure cleanliness, reduce waste and provide adequate clean drinking water.

When the weight of the chicken reaches about 4 jin, it should be sold to lay a good foundation for the next phase of feeding.
