What should we pay attention to when raising native chickens?

1. Pay attention to choosing those with plump muscles, delicious meat and strong stress resistance. Control the temperature. The key to brooding is temperature. If temperature control is not good, chicks are prone to problems. After all, chicks have just hatched and have not yet fully grown their feathers, so they are sensitive to the outside world. It is recommended that the brooding temperature be controlled at 35~38℃, and then lowered by 2℃ every week until it drops to 25℃. Excellent breeds are not only the basis for raising high-quality broilers, but also help improve disease resistance and reduce mortality. When choosing chicken.

2. Native chickens can adapt to the outside temperature after brooding. At this time, they can be dispersed to outdoor forests and grass for feeding. At the beginning, you still need to feed the brooding feed, gradually reduce the amount of feeding, and finally reduce it to only one supplementary meal at night. Breeding native chickens in the grazing stage. The chickens should be free to forage for food. They usually pick some vegetable leaves, grass and seeds for feeding, and use cereals when they get home late. The cordyceps gravel in the forest is limited and cannot satisfy the chickens' needs. Feeding troughs and water tanks need to be installed in fixed places in the fence, supplementary feeding should be provided every night, clean drinking water should be provided throughout the day, and a shed should be built for the chickens to live at night or on rainy days.

3. When raising native chickens, you must choose a suitable brooding season to facilitate grazing among free-range chickens. According to the climate characteristics of various mountainous areas, it is generally best to brood from March to June. Since the temperature changes from low to high during this period, the light is sufficient, which is conducive to the growth and development of chickens and improves the survival rate of brooding. During the brooding and rearing stages, feed supply and supplementation for chicks and adult chickens should be ensured according to the nutritional needs of the chickens during their growth stages. It is generally required to feed 5-6 times a day before grazing, and ensure sufficient clean drinking water. After entering the stocking period and having strong free hunting ability, artificial feeding can be gradually reduced to 2-3 times a day. Pay attention to feeding less in the morning and more in the evening. Chicken breeding has higher environmental requirements, because native chickens are free-range and must have enough space for them to run.
