It is best to choose a forest with sparse canopy, high canopy, about 70% shade, good light and ventilation, and rich weeds and insects in woodland for raising chickens. Forest land with dense branches and leaves and large shade has poor light transmission effect, which is not conducive to the growth of chickens. Apple, peach, pear and other fresh fruit forest land will have some fruits falling and rotting naturally in the fruiting period, and chickens are easy to be poisoned after eating, so it is not suitable to choose fruit forest land for breeding. Woodland should be well drained, ventilated and sunny, and trees and vines should be more than 2 years old. The shed should be built with topographical conditions, and grass crops should be rotated properly in the park for chickens to eat. ?

Second, build a chicken house?

The henhouse should be built in woodland, sheltered from the wind and sunny, with high and dry terrain and good drainage, and a certain distance from the main road. It is built under tall trees, among fruit trees or on the edge of woodland, facing south, and the pasture faces fruit trees or Woods. The distance between each henhouse is 30 ~ 50 meters, so don't engage in "chicken flocks" to prevent the pasture vegetation from being destroyed due to the high density of chicken flocks, resulting in the spread of diseases. The building area of the henhouse is calculated as 8 ~ 10 /m2. The henhouse is a plastic shed with a width of 5 ~ 6m and a length of 30 ~ 40m. It is more suitable to raise 2000 chickens in each shed. The inner layer at the top of the greenhouse is paved with drip-free plastic film, and a layer of straw with a thickness of 5- 10 cm is paved to form the thermal insulation layer. Straw is covered with plastic film and tied with nylon rope. The lower edges on both sides of the longitudinal axis of the plastic greenhouse can be rolled up or put down to adjust the room temperature and ventilation. A fermentation bed made of sawdust, rice husk and bacteria with a thickness of 30cm is spread in the shed, which is used to decompose the feces discharged by chickens in the shed. The heat generated by the fermentation bed is also beneficial to keep the henhouse warm at night. A certain number of sinks and washing tanks are placed inside and outside the shed. ?

Third, feeding management?

Breeding chickens and laying hens of Rizhao Ma chicken should adopt normal house feeding mode, and only commercial cocks can be kept in the forest, but male hens cannot be mixed. However, before the age of 42 days, we should refer to the management measures for brooding and feeding of commercial laying hens. At the age of 42 days, it should be transferred to woodland for stocking according to weather conditions, and transferred to woodland at night. At the same time, heating measures should be taken in the shed to ensure adequate drinking water, so that cocks can be evenly distributed in the shed, and chickens will not get together because of the large temperature difference between day and night on the mountain, causing unnecessary casualties. Raising chickens in woodland should pay attention to stocking density, scale, grazing period and management. The stocking density is based on the principle of sparse but not dense, and 150 ~ 250 chickens are raised per mu of woodland. If the density is too high, the amount of concentrated feed will increase due to the shortage of feed such as grass insects, which will affect the taste of chickens; The density is too small, the resources are wasted and the ecological benefits are low. The stocking scale is generally about 2000 heads per group, and the all-in and all-out system is adopted. The best stocking period is from the beginning of April to the end of 10. During this period, the climate is suitable, the woodland is overgrown with weeds, insects such as insects and ants are flourishing, and chickens can eat enough ecological feed. In other months, the feeding method is mainly house feeding, supplemented by grazing. The grazing time depends on the season and climate. Usually, chickens over 42 days old graze from 9: 00 am to 5: 00 pm in summer and from10 to 4: 00 pm in winter. Determine the supplementary feeding amount according to the principle of "half full early, moderate late". That is, it is not appropriate to feed before grazing in the morning. When grazing, chickens only feed on grass, insects, ants and earthworms. In the summer night, you can hang some incandescent lamps in the woodland to attract more insects for chickens to prey on. At the same time, the qualified forest land should delimit the breeding area according to the size of chickens, and implement rotational grazing in different regions to let chickens get enough natural food, effectively protect the resources in the forest land and make the forest land sustainable. ?

Pay attention to listening to the weather forecast every day and pay close attention to the weather changes during stocking. In case of sudden change in weather, the chickens should be rushed back to the henhouse in time to prevent them from catching cold. In order to make chickens return to their nests regularly and feed them conveniently, it is necessary to cooperate with training passwords, such as whistling and knocking on barrels. When fruit trees are sprayed with pesticides to prevent pests and diseases, chickens should be driven to a safe place for 3-4 days to prevent them from being poisoned by eating leaves and grass sprayed with pesticides. Chickens without rotational grazing should be cleaned in the orchard after they are released, and then continue to feed after a period of leisure. ?

Fourth, do a good job in the prevention and control of diseases and rodents?

The open environment for raising chickens in woodland is vulnerable to miscellaneous diseases and wild birds, so it is very important to do scientific immunization, deworming, disinfection and rodent control. Before the age of 42, woodland chickens should be immunized with Marek's vaccine, Newcastle disease vaccine, fowlpox vaccine, bursal disease vaccine and avian influenza vaccine according to procedures. After the woodland is stocked, it is necessary to take advantage of the opportunity of all chickens entering the henhouse at night to give intramuscular injection of Newcastle disease ⅰ vaccine for 60-day-old and 90-day-old chickens, and give levamisole to chickens every 1 ~ 1.5 months. In the evening, grind the tablets into powder, first mix them with a small amount of feed, and then mix them with all feeds and feed them. Check the chicken manure the next morning to see if there are any bugs discharged. If adults are found in chicken manure, use the same dose of insect repellent 1 time the next night. If chickens are found to excrete bloody feces, diclazuril and sulfachlorpyrazine sodium should be fed to treat chicken coccidiosis. The henhouse is disinfected with povidone iodine every two weeks. At the same time, there should be 1 ~ 2 cats in the woodland where chickens are raised to prevent the invasion of rats. The breeder pays attention to the condition of the chickens every day, and records the eating, drinking, spirit, feces and sleep state of the chickens in detail. When sick chickens are found, they should be isolated and treated in time, and the threatened chickens should be given preventive drugs. ?

5. What is the timing of raising chickens under the forest?

It's the right time to sell Rizhao pheasant cultivated under the forest. Generally, Rizhao pheasant can be marketed when its weight reaches 1.5 kg and its feeding time reaches 100 days. At this time, its appearance and meat quality can reach the standard of high-quality chicken. However, we should also take into account the market situation, depending on the fluctuation of the market price of the pheasant, and appropriately advance or postpone the listing time. ?
