Chicken raising technology: How to cope with extreme weather when raising free-range chickens in rural areas

Although spring is the season when all things revive, the temperature in spring is very unstable. You may wear a shirt today and a down jacket tomorrow. Spring is a time when influenza is most common. Spring nights are still very cold. I accidentally caught the cold wind and caught a cold. What we need to pay attention to during this period is to keep the chicken shed warm. At night, the curtains around the chicken shed must be lowered and fixed.

The temperature changes in summer are generally not very big, but two things are the heat and the frequent heavy rains. What needs to be noted is the cooling measures in the chicken shed at night. We can use an electric fan or make a simple water curtain to cool down. Then there are heavy rains. Chickens will have problems if they get wet in the rain. No matter whether they are big chickens or small chickens, some people think that big chickens are not afraid of getting wet. That is wrong. Pay attention to the weather forecast every day and try to get the chickens back to the shed before evening. If they get caught in the rain, you can use some Chinese medicine to prevent colds.

In autumn, the temperature difference between day and night is large, and it is easy to get foggy the next morning. Don't let the chickens out early in the morning on foggy days. Let the fog clear before letting them out. Cold air and fog directly enter the chicken's respiratory tract, which can easily induce respiratory diseases.
