1. Variety selection: There are many varieties of silky chicken now, such as white-feathered silky chicken, black-feathered silky chicken, white-topped silky chicken, golden silky chicken, etc. Then you need to make a choice based on market demand and the difficulty of raising silky chickens. For example, in Hunan, the sales volume of white-feathered silky chickens is much better than that of black-feathered silky chickens, and it is also easier to raise. Then it will Choosing to raise white-feathered silky chickens means that if you want to raise silky chickens, you need to conduct a simple survey on the local market to ensure whether you can benefit.

2. Breeding conditions: Although silky chickens are very adaptable and can be raised in free-range, captive and house-raising, if conditions permit, it would be better to choose free-range breeding, because this way the black-bone chickens Bone chickens can move freely in a certain short period of time, which can enhance the immunity of silky chickens. Secondly, silky chickens can also forage for themselves, which can reduce part of the feeding cost. There are also free-range black-bone chickens. The quality of bone chicken will be better. Secondly, silky chickens have poor resistance to cold and moisture, so the environment of the chicken house must be kept dry and warm. Finally, the chicken house must have a special place for sand bathing of silky chickens, so that Helps in the growth and development of silkies.

3. Feeding and management: Feeding and management are very important, as it determines the survival rate of the silky chicken and its output. The feeding and management needs to be divided into three stages. The first stage is just after buying it. The chicks are relatively weak, so they basically need full-day light. Secondly, the indoor temperature should be kept above 30 degrees. After raising it for a week or two, the temperature can be slowly lowered and kept at around 28 degrees. , during this period of time, you basically only need to feed three times a day, mainly with concentrates, and you can add some vegetables. After the physiological functions of the chicks are fully restored, you can return to normal feeding. You can put the silky chickens Let them move freely in the courtyard and woodland. At this time, you only need to put in feed at regular times and at fixed points every day. Finally, the silky chickens will enter the egg-laying period. At this time, you need to slowly reduce the feeding amount first, and then when they enter the egg-laying period. Then slowly return the feed to the normal feeding amount to increase its egg production rate.

4. Stocking density: Management of stocking density can correctly control the growth rate of silky chickens and reduce feed waste. However, the stocking density of silky chickens in each growth period is different. For example, Silky chickens that are about half a month old are generally about 40 per square meter, while those about one month old are about 30, and adults have only about 8-10 per square meter. Therefore, silky chickens need to be treated every growth period. Carry out group management so that they can grow faster and healthier.

5. Daily management: Daily management includes some trivial matters. Silky chickens are very clean. If the breeding area is dirty, it can easily lead to bacterial infection and diseases such as chicken plague. Therefore, the debris and feces in the breeding area must be cleaned regularly and disinfected. Finally, black-bone chickens must be vaccinated regularly. This can prevent many unnecessary diseases. For example, if the black-bone chickens have Parasites will not be fattened no matter how much you feed them, so you need to deworm them in time.
