What kind of living environment is suitable for chickens?

To raise chickens scientifically, you must have a henhouse. The general requirements of chicken coops are: good ventilation, warm in winter and cool in summer. At present, there are mainly three kinds of chicken coops: open chicken coops, fully open chicken coops and closed chicken coops.

1. Open chicken coop The open chicken coop mainly adopts natural ventilation and natural lighting, mainly including fully open, semi-open and windowed.

2. Completely open the henhouse, which has only one roof, about 3 meters from the ground. There are lead wire nets, bamboo poles and wooden strips around to protect animals from harm. There is a small door on one side of the fence for the owner to enter and exit. The henhouse is not only suitable for free range,

3. Closed chicken coop

Closed henhouse is a kind of artificial environment henhouse, which adopts mechanical forced ventilation and artificial lighting to make the internal environment of henhouse not directly affected by the outside world. The henhouse can provide suitable and stable production conditions for chickens all year round, and improve the feeding density and production level. Attention should be paid to ventilation and light leakage in closed henhouses.

4. A henhouse shall meet the following conditions

(1) is beneficial to ventilation.

Due to the high density of scientific chicken raising, in order to ensure the healthy life and normal production of chickens, it is necessary to exhaust harmful gases in the chicken house in time. With the change of temperature, how many windows to open to adjust the temperature. When the weather is hot, open all the windows to form air convection, reduce the temperature and discharge turbid air. In cold winter, close the window to keep warm. But don't neglect ventilation in winter.

(2) Dense degree

Chickens are gregarious animals. Density is also a very important environmental condition for chicken growth. It is closely related to the growth rate and reproductive ability of chickens.

(3) Humidity

Humidity is very important for the growth of chickens. The temperature in the henhouse should not be too high. If the humidity in the henhouse is too high and the time is too long, the resistance of chickens will be seriously weakened.

(4) Lighting

Reasonable illumination time and intensity are beneficial to the growth of chickens. Especially in winter, it can not only increase the temperature of the henhouse, but also reduce the germs in the henhouse. So first of all, we must choose the location of the henhouse.
