What tools should be prepared for raising chickens under the forest?

Undergrowth chickens are popular at the moment, and many believe there is an idea to try, but building such a chicken farm is not easy. So what do you need to prepare for raising chickens under the forest? Let's take a look at it together to give you a deeper understanding of these preparation tools.

1. Egg nest

This is a thing that farmers tend to ignore, but the egg nest is actually very important. Because the chickens raised under the forest have a wide range of activities, they will not lay eggs in one place, but the egg nest can effectively solve this problem, improve the egg income of farmers and reduce the workload of egg collection. Chickens will lay eggs in some fixed places, and build an egg nest where these chickens often lay eggs, leaving 1-2 eggs in it, so that chickens will lay eggs here for a long time, and farmers do not have to go everywhere to find places where chickens lay eggs.

2. Drinking water equipment

Drinking water is a very important link for chickens under the forest. There are few convenient water sources near the general breeding site, and chickens also need regular drinking water, so drinking water equipment has become a key place. However, such a place is not suitable for the establishment of a pool, one is that the water is easy to dry, and the other is to change the water trouble, so generally buy some drinking fountains, so that whether it is to change the water or change the place later is very convenient. However, it is best to have a larger water dispenser, so many chickens are raised, and the number of times of changing water will be very frequent if it is small.

3, insulation place

Although it is a form of free breeding, temperature control is also a very important thing, compared to the temperature at night is still very low. However, this is mainly prepared for chickens. For larger chickens, there is no need for temperature control. It only needs to be a relatively able to block the wind and rain. However, if it is autumn and winter, it is still necessary to do certain insulation measures. If you can choose a variety of heat preservation means, whether it is a heated kang or what kind of electric heat can be, otherwise let the chicken suffer danger. When the weather is hot, choose a smaller incubator, put a few more, and change the incubator when the weather gets cold, so that the temperature control effect is the best.

4. Feeder

It was not that chickens raised under the forest did not need to be fed by themselves. The place where farmers kept them was completely insufficient for so many chickens to find enough food. They also needed to prepare feeders. This feed trough is self-feeding, convenient for feeding, and can greatly reduce the number of feeding times. Self-flow form refers to the middle can be pre-stored feed, there are several feed outlets around, when the chicken finished eating the outside, the inside will flow out, do not need artificial addition. Feeding time is generally based on forage, vegetables, in the auxiliary a certain amount of concentrate can be fattened.

The above are some tools to prepare for chickens under the forest. As for other feed processing equipment and other tools, you can purchase them according to your own needs. After all, everyone's breeding methods will have certain differences, and they are not all needed.
