The advantages and disadvantages of raising chickens in cornfields are as follows:

1. Chickens can weed cornfields

Raising chickens in cornfields is just like installing a free lawn mower in cornfields: chickens in cornfields generally don't grow grass, because as long as they grow grass, they will be eaten mercilessly by chickens in cornfields. This eliminates the need for weeding and saves a lot of labor. In enough space, chickens can move, so raising chickens becomes stronger.

2. Chickens can "fertilize" the loose soil in the corn field

Raising chickens in the corn field not only fertilizes the corn on the loose soil, but also in the invisible place, thus solving the problem of insects on the corn. When chickens are raised in corn fields, the soil does not agglomerate. Chickens have been looking for bugs to eat, saving food, and helping to loosen the soil at the edge of the corn field, and chicken manure will also become fertilizer. Provide sufficient conditions for high yield of corn. One thing, one discussion, maximizing the interests.

3. Reduce the cost of breeding

Raising chickens in cornfields not only saves money for building chicken coops, but also solves environmental problems. When chickens are kept in cornfields, they can eat grass and insects, and chicken excreta can also be used as fertilizer to feed corn. In this way, it saves the cost of manually cleaning chicken coops and does not need to fertilize the fields.

2. Disadvantages

1. It is difficult to control the stocking time.

If the native chickens are stocked too early, the corn is still in the seedling stage, and the growth is not stable enough, and it is not high enough. Isn't it that the native chickens spoil the corn seedlings at this time? If sowing is too late, the growth cycle of corn will not be too long, and the native chicken has not been fattened successfully at this time. What should we do?

2. Whether herbicides are really not used in the fields

Generally, corn fields are sprayed with herbicides once or twice, and some corn fields need topdressing and watering in the later stage. These are all tasks that must be done in the fields. So, should the native chickens put in the corn fields also hunt?

3. Can chickens adapt to the living environment

Another point is that I have great doubts about myself. In summer, the temperature in the corn field is very high, especially after the corn is ripe. Can chickens stand that temperature? Especially in July and August, the corn field at this time is not ordinary high temperature, or is it really suitable for raising local chickens in hot and dry weather?

Chicken breeding technology:

Excellent breeds are the basis for raising high-quality broilers. Famous local varieties with thin skin and fine bones, plump muscles, delicious meat, strong resistance and small and medium-sized colored feathers should be selected.

If it is a laying hen, but Hailan Brown and Jinghong No.1, these two kinds of chickens are better, with high egg production rate and strong adaptability. If you are a commercial chicken, you can raise black-bone chicken and imperial concubine chicken. If you raise stupid chickens, you can raise Sanhuang chicken, Luhua chicken and other varieties. Grazing is one of the important measures to improve the meat quality of broilers.

The technical requirements for brooding of high-quality free-range chickens are the same as those for fast-growing broilers. After brooding in the brooding room for about 3 days, they will be transferred to greenhouses for feeding. Generally, grazing begins at the age of 3 days in summer, 45 days in spring and autumn, and 5-6 days in winter. It is better to choose bamboo gardens, orchards, tea gardens, mulberry gardens and other places with high and dry terrain, sheltered from the wind and sunny, quiet environment, convenient drinking, no pollution and no animal harm.
