How to build chicken coops in rural areas

Building a henhouse is an essential key link for raising chickens. A well-built shed will have a high survival rate and convenient daily management, which is an important event that benefits the whole chicken raising process. So how to build a chicken shed is better?

The construction of chicken greenhouses needs to be treated differently. No matter what kind of farming method, the first thing to do is to choose the site. Where is this greenhouse suitable for raising chickens? First, we need to pay attention to local aquaculture policies and environmental protection policies, and we must ensure that we stay away from residential areas, drinking water sources and other specific requirements. Second, we should pay attention to factors such as temperature, sunshine, wind direction and topography. Generally, greenhouses should be built in a dry environment with slightly higher terrain than the surrounding area, sunny back slope, good drainage, convenient transportation and water source.

Secondly, it is the choice of materials for building greenhouses. The materials used to build greenhouses are different. You can choose materials suitable for your own cultivation cost according to your actual situation, but the premise is to ensure the safety and practicality of the greenhouse.

Thirdly, different breeding methods and varieties need to be treated differently, and greenhouses should be built. Let's take the laying hen shed as an example. We need to consider the scale of farming and calculate the area of greenhouse according to the scale of farming. At the same time, the ground in the greenhouse should be treated, and brick laying or hardened cement can be considered. In short, we should keep the greenhouse dry. In addition, attention should be paid to the ventilation and lighting conditions in the shed, especially the lighting conditions of laying hens, which must be considered in advance. Take the greenhouse of free-range roosters as an example, it is not as strict as the requirements of laying hens. Just need to be dry, shelter from the wind and rain, and provide a place to live at night.

Finally, we should pay attention to these problems in the construction of chicken greenhouses. First, there should be isolated areas on the two floors of the greenhouse, especially the greenhouse covered with plastic film. Second, it is best to design the water dispenser in the greenhouse separately to ensure no water leakage. Third, large-scale henhouses need ventilation equipment. Fourth, conditional greenhouses can be designed into several small areas, which can be isolated when diseases occur and can also cope with other emergencies.
