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 chicken house. The brooding house can be paved with cement floor and can drain water, which is beneficial to the cleaning, washing and disinfection of the 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 brooding methods can be divided into ground free-range rearing, floor net plane rearing and cage rearing. When the ground is free-range, grass is paved in the way of raising guinea fowl in winter and spring, with a thickness of 5 ~ 7 cm, and sand and a thin layer of grass are paved on the ground in summer. The mat should be clean, dry and free from mildew, and cut into lengths of about 10 cm. After a brood, the mat grass should be cleaned out of the house and composted with feces, which can not be used again. When the ground net is used for plane maintenance, the net surface can be made of iron wire or wood or bamboo. The net spacing should be appropriate, generally1.2cm spacing or1.2cm square net, and the height of the net surface is 60-70cm, so that the whole net surface can be moved, so that after the chicken is turned out, the net surface can be uncovered to clean the feces and clean the henhouse. When using ground free-range culture or ground net flat culture, water tanks and troughs should be equipped and evenly placed according to the number of chickens. High thermal insulation umbrella for heating. In places with small building area and convenient power supply, stacked electric brooding cages can be used for brooding, each cage has 4 floors, and * * * can brood chicks 1200 ~ 1600.

3. brooding density. The feeding area should be increased with the growth of chicks. 1 week, 50 ~ 60 animals per square meter, 30 ~ 40 animals per square meter at 2 weeks, and only 20 ~ 30 animals per square meter at 3 weeks.

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. The newly hatched chickens should live under a warm umbrella at 35 ~ 38℃, and then the temperature will drop by about 3℃ every week. Whether the temperature in the henhouse is suitable can be observed: it is too cold, and the chickens gather together; It's too hot for the chicken to gasp; Suitable temperature, lively and comfortable. In the process of brooding, we should pay attention to group adjustment. It is necessary to form weak, short and unstable small groups, give special care, be close to heat sources, have low density, have enough feed and water, supplement vitamins and promote the recovery of health.
