Problems that should be paid attention to in raising chickens in woodland

Raising chickens in woodland is now a major mode of raising chickens, and raising chickens in woodland is very beneficial to the growth of chickens and the protection of the ecological environment. Therefore, in many places, chicken farming is mainly based on woodland, but when raising chickens in woodland, there are many places that we need to pay more attention to. So what should be paid attention to when raising chickens in woodland? The following editor will give you a brief introduction, let's have a look!

1. Grazing time

When raising chickens in the woodland, we need to train the chickens well. Because the woodland chicken is raised completely outdoors, so the outdoor environment will have a great impact on the growth of chickens. Therefore, we should pay attention to the reasonable choice of stocking time according to the climate change. It is usually from May to October, when the temperature is relatively high and the temperature difference between day and night is not big. The chicken is also easy to adapt to the changes of the external environment, and at this time the number of young grass is relatively large, as well as a variety of leaves and insects, so it is very beneficial for the chicken to eat and accelerate the growth rate of the chicken.

2. Proper training

When raising chickens in the woodland, when we are in the breeding period, we should pay attention to properly feeding some green vegetable leaves to exercise the chicks' ability to eat and digest roughage. After a month or so, the chicks gradually get out of temperature, and at this time they can be raised in the woodland. First of all, choose a sunny day and put the chickens on the open ground. It is then trained to expand the range of activities of the flock until the flock can move freely. At the same time, there is also a daily summoning training for the chickens to form a conditioned reflex. Ensure that chickens can be recalled quickly in case of bad weather.

3. Reasonable supplementary feeding

When raising chickens in woodland, although chickens can find feed on their own. However, we should also pay attention to the supplementary feeding work, but after putting the chickens into the woodland for breeding, we can appropriately and gradually reduce the amount of feed. After about 7 days of stocking, supplementary feeding should be done twice a day, in the morning and evening. Then after another month of stocking, the chicken can be replenished in the evening when the chicken returns to the henhouse. During the whole stocking period, you should also pay attention to replenishing adequate drinking water for the chickens.

The above is a brief introduction to the problems that should be paid attention to in raising chickens in woodland. In addition to the above, there are many things that need our attention. For example, all-in-all-out breeding, woodland rotation and so on. These are the key measures for raising chickens in woodland, and they also need our attention. That's all for today's introduction.
