First of all, we have to explain that the demand for high quality chickens (which we call walk-in chickens here) is very high in the big cities, and the price is also quite expensive. So going back to your hometown to raise chickens is definitely a good way, but you have to ensure the quality, naturally you don't have to worry about sales, and the demand for walk-in eggs is much higher.
Then we have to talk about what kind of local chicken is high quality. That is naturally a good living environment, a large space to move, every day to chase and fight, looking for food all over the ground of the chicken.
Lastly, I would like to talk about how to raise high-quality local chickens (walk-in chickens)
One, choose the fruit forest or seedling forest
1. Raise chickens in the forest, large space for activities, lively chickens, bright feather color, strong muscles, moderate subcutaneous fat, meat flavor, with a strong market competitiveness.
2. Reduce feed consumption, reduce costs. Generally every 10 acres of land to raise not more than 3,000 chickens, due to grass, flower seeds, grass seeds, small insects to eat, you can save more than 50% of the feed cost.
3. Because of the large space for activities, fresh air, quiet environment, provide comfortable natural environment for chickens, improve the survival rate of chickens.
4. Reduce the pollution of the environment by raising chickens. Chickens will be scattered in the woodland, so that the density of chickens is relatively low, less fecal pollution, thus reducing the pollution of raising chickens.
Two, rearing methods
1. Forest and fruit land selection and chicken coop construction. General forest and fruit land can raise chickens, it is best to choose a high terrain, good ventilation conditions. The forest fruit land to build a simple chicken house, choose the air-dried bamboo, wood and so on tied into a double-slope roof trellis, covered with asbestos tiles.
2. Woodland arrangement. Every few acres are separated by nets, and chickens of different cycles are kept separately, also to prevent the spread of diseases.
3. Daily management. After the end of the brooding period can be put into the forest and fruit land, every morning to put the chicken out of the coop, free movement to find food. Put a small amount of feed in the morning and noon at the side of the coop, let the chickens eat half full, the water dispenser should be replenished at any time. Before dark, the chickens will be driven back to the feed to eat to the full back to the house for the night. Every day so that the chicken to develop a conditioned reflex.
Three, notes
1. Buy chickens. Breeds to choose the local chicken, strong adaptability to the environment, more suitable for stocking in the forest and fruit land.
2. Time of entry. Chickens are best after the beginning of spring, the average temperature of 15 degrees above.
3. Disease control. Forest and fruit land breeding disease is less, do not need to use antibiotics. But all the vaccines that should be given at the time of the chicken chicks should be given.
