1. brooding house. Chickens of the same size and variety should be raised in the brooding house, and male and female chicks should be raised in columns, and can be raised separately if conditions permit. It is required that the brooding house has good sealing performance to facilitate the heat preservation of the henhouse. The brooding house can be paved with cement floor, which can drain water and is beneficial to cleaning, washing and disinfection of chicken house. There should be a disinfection pool at the door of the henhouse, and the shoes should be disinfected before entering the house.

2. Feeding equipment. The methods of brooding can be divided into ground free-range rearing, floor net plane rearing and cage rearing. When the ground is free-range, bedding grass should be laid in the way of raising guinea fowl with a thickness of 5 ~ 7 cm in winter and spring, and sand and a thin layer of bedding grass should be laid on the ground in summer. The mat grass should be clean, dry, free from mildew and cut into about 1 cm long. After one brooding, the bedding grass should be cleared out of the house and composted with feces, and cannot be used again. When the floor net is used for flat maintenance, the net surface can be made of iron wire or wood or bamboo. The spacing of the nets should be appropriate, generally 1.2 cm spacing or 1.2 cm square mesh, and the height of the net surface is 6 ~ 7 cm. The whole net surface should be movable, so that after the chickens are transferred out, the net surface can be uncovered to clean the feces and clean the henhouse. When using ground free-range or floor net flat-raising, it is necessary to equip and evenly place sinks and troughs according to the number of chickens. High insulation umbrella for heating. In places where the building area is small and electricity is convenient, stacked electric brooding cages can be used for brooding, each cage has 4 layers, and * * * can brood 1,2 ~ 1,6 chicks.

3. brooding density. The feeding area should be increased with the growth of chicks. Feeding 5 ~ 6 animals per square meter at 1 week old, 3 ~ 4 animals per square meter at 2 weeks old, and only 2 ~ 3 animals per square meter at 3 weeks old.

4. brooding temperature. Within three weeks of brooding, whether the temperature in the henhouse is suitable or not is the key to the success of brooding, neither too high nor too low. Chickens who have just hatched should live under a thermal umbrella at 35 ~ 38℃, and then the temperature will drop by about 3℃ every week. Whether the temperature in the henhouse is suitable or not can be observed: it is too cold, and the chickens get together; It's too hot, and the chicken gasps; Lively and comfortable at suitable temperature. In the process of brooding, we should pay attention to adjusting the flock. It is necessary to form a small group of people who are weak, short and unstable, give special care, be close to the heat source, have less density, have enough feed and water, and add vitamins to promote the recovery of health.
