Ecological chicken breeding 6 points

1. Choose the site: generally choose woodland, tea garden, orchard and hillside land. Natural forest is the best woodland, and artificial economic forest is second only to natural forest. The hillside requires that the slope be stable, leeward and sunny, and have sufficient water supply. No major pollution sources are required around the plant, which is more than 1 km away from residential areas, hospitals and slaughterhouses.

2. Select a good breed: egg-meat chicken breeds, egg chicken cockerels and rural grass chickens can all be used as ecological chicken breeds.

3. Preparation of feed: the feed for raising ecological chickens must be organic feed, which requires comprehensive nutrients. Natural feed mainly includes all kinds of insects, mature seeds and natural forage grass and so on.

4. Brooding time: brooding can be done all the year round, but it is best from March to May, when the temperature rises gradually, the sun is sufficient, the survival rate of brooding is high, at the same time, spring chicks mature early and grow fast.

5. The main points of brooding: brooding is based on flat ground and net bed, specialized and centralized brooding on a large scale. It is important to grasp the following points: first, the brooding density should be appropriate, with 80-100 pieces per square meter. The second is the suitable temperature and humidity, the temperature should be kept at 30-32 ℃ within 1 week, 28-30 ℃ at 2 weeks, then decreased by 2 ℃ per week, and the relative humidity should be kept at 60-70%. Third, reasonable light, during the brooding period, maintain 23 hours of light every day in the first 5 days, 16 hours a day after 5 days, and then gradually reduce the light time and light intensity. Fourth, start eating and replenishing water at the right time.

6. Purse seine stocking: chicks are kept in the nursery for 21-30 days, and when the body weight is more than 150 grams, the chicks are reared outside the house, and the chickens are trained to listen to the sound and eat. Delay the release time or not release the chickens in rainy and snowy weather.

7. Immunization: ecological grass chicken has a long growth period, which generally takes more than 4 months, and has extensive contact with the outside world. Immunization should be done in a planned way according to the actual situation.
