The method of raising chickens is: preparing boxes, adjusting temperature, and feeding management.

1. Prepare the box

When raising chicks, you need to prepare a wooden box or cardboard box, put straw or cotton wool into it, and then put the chicks into the box. Keep them warm to prevent the chicks from dying, and place the boxes together in a dedicated brooding house, and install temperature-regulating equipment in the brooding house.

2. Adjust the temperature

Chickens have poor cold tolerance. When raising chicks, if the ambient temperature is low, they will suffer frostbite. It is best to put them in the brooding house. The temperature should be controlled between 30-32 degrees to allow the chicks to grow smoothly, and the temperature should be lowered by 1-2 degrees every 5 days until it drops to about 20 degrees.

3. Feeding management

When raising chicks, it is necessary to feed potassium permanganate aqueous solution to the chicks after birth to help them start eating and excrete meconium. Moreover, when feeding chicks, it is necessary to provide them with cooked broken rice, corn, bean cakes and other feeds to ensure balanced nutrition of the chicks, and they need to be fed 3-4 times a day.

Precautions for raising chickens

Chickens have high environmental requirements. When raising chickens, the pens need to be cleaned once a day, and wet and dirty bedding must be replaced. To avoid affecting the growth of the chicks, you can provide them with soft and breathable cotton or straw, and sprinkle lime powder around the box.

During the raising of chicks, attention should be paid to the prevention of Marek's disease and bursal disease. The first vaccine can be injected within 24 hours after the chicks are born, and the second vaccine can be injected on days 16-18. For bursal disease, the chicks should be injected with bursal antibodies and drink Ganshenkang granules for 4-5 days.

During the breeding process of chicks, it is best to go outdoors to bask in the sun once a day, which can not only enhance their disease resistance, but also increase the amount of exercise and ensure the healthy growth of chicks. Chicks before 20 days old They can be active for 6-7 hours a day. After 20 days of age, they can be active for 2-3 hours on sunny days.
