1. Build a chicken coop.
Choose a place with flat terrain, sheltered from wind and sunshine, normal drainage and irrigation, no accumulation of water, good vegetation, good isolation conditions, and convenient transportation to build a chicken coop. The chicken house must be well planned for rest rooms and sports grounds. Then prepare sinks, food troughs and temperature control facilities.
2. Variety selection.
The breeds of free-range chickens in rural areas are generally native chickens, such as reed chickens, three-yellow chickens, black-bone chickens, green-shell laying hens, etc., because native chickens have high market demand, strong growth ability and have Strong disease resistance.
3. Feed feed.
Rural free-range chickens grow slowly and do not have very high requirements for feed. It is better to feed mixed feed. If they are fed the same feed, it will cause malnutrition. If you have corn, pumpkin, sweet potato, rice, cassava, etc. at home, you can combine them and feed them together. Corn and rice can be ground into powder, and pumpkin and sweet potato can be cooked.
4. Daily management.
When managing chicks, you need to pay attention to temperature and humidity. In short, you must take good care of them, otherwise they will not survive. When managing young chickens, male and female chickens should be kept separately. The amount of chickens in the sink and food bowl should be kept appropriate every day, and they should not be fed too much. Manage adult chickens to meet the feed nutrients for laying hens, and increase the feed nutrients for overwintering chickens.
5. Disease prevention and treatment.
Free-range chickens have strong disease resistance and less disease, but they have more opportunities to be exposed to pathogens, so hygiene, disinfection and epidemic prevention work must be done well. Common diseases of chickens include colibacillosis, trichomoniasis, etc. If diseases occur, they must be treated in time to avoid affecting the breeding efficiency. Chicken manure should be removed regularly every day, the chicken house should be disinfected regularly, no spoiled feed and drinking water should be fed, and the breeding density should be controlled.
6. Sales at the right time.
Chickens must be sold at the right time to maximize profits. If the breeding period is too short, the meat quality will be poor and the taste will not be fresh. If the breeding period is too long, the meat quality will be older and the feeding cost will increase, which is not economical.
