How to raise chickens in a chicken shed in a free-range way?

1, choose species to build houses. The varieties of free-range chickens are generally mainly native chickens because of their large market demand, strong growth ability and strong disease resistance. The henhouse should be built in a place with convenient transportation, leeward, sufficient sunshine and normal drainage and irrigation. This place is not only conducive to the growth of chickens, but also convenient for feeding. The hen house should be well planned for the rest room and sports ground. Then prepare the sink, sink and temperature control facilities. Reasonable adjustment of feeding environment can promote the growth of chickens.

2. Raise chickens. Chickens hatch in two months. Chickens are fragile at this time, and the survival rate is low in the first ten days. Chickens are very strict about temperature, so we should control the temperature. The temperature requirement of chicks will change with the increase of day age. The temperature should be controlled at about 35℃ for the first three days, then it will decrease by about 1℃ every three days, and the temperature will be stabilized at about 25℃ until it reaches about 1 month. Then it is necessary to strengthen the management of chicks, control the feeding density according to their age, and do a good job of light control. It is necessary to keep the day and night light for one month, and the daily light time can be appropriately reduced after one month.

3. Chickens are raised. Youth is a period when chickens grow very fast, which is within 3 months after the brooding period. Usually at the age of 4 months, its body shape has gradually approached that of an adult chicken. Chickens should generally be fed in the shed, and a sink should be prepared in the shed, and then the roof should be tilted to prevent rainwater from leaking. When feeding chickens, male and female should be raised separately to prevent forced feeding. Control the daily feeding time according to the age of the month. Usually, chickens from February to March need to be fed about three times a day. You can reduce it once in three months. If you are a breeder, don't feed too much at a time, so as not to overeat, delay the laying period and affect the laying.

4. Disease prevention. The common diseases of free-range chickens are colibacillosis and trichomoniasis. These diseases are very harmful to the growth of chickens, which will greatly increase the mortality of chickens and affect the efficiency of breeding. It is necessary to do a good job in the sanitation of the henhouse, remove chicken manure regularly every day, disinfect the henhouse, strengthen management and make good ventilation. Then be careful not to feed spoiled feed and drinking water, and control the breeding density. Always observe the growth of chickens, isolate the abnormal situation in time, check the specific situation, and then treat the symptoms.
