How to raise chickens at home? 1. Build a henhouse.
When raising chickens at home, you can build a henhouse in the vegetable garden or in front of your house. It is necessary to ensure that the henhouse is ventilated and well lit, which can reduce the chances of chickens getting sick and is conducive to their reproduction and growth. You can also put a chicken cage made of wire with a lot of space on the balcony. This method raises fewer chickens, but it is cheaper.
2. Feeding management
Chickens can't eat unprocessed raw materials, which will increase the digestive burden and thus affect the number of eggs laid by chickens. When raising chickens, we should provide them with mixed feed made of corn, rice, fish meal, bean cake and bone meal. And put a plate full of sand outside the henhouse for chickens to peck freely.
Step 3 clean the henhouse
To raise chickens at home, it is necessary to clean the henhouse once a day, clean the feces in the henhouse, avoid breeding a large number of bacteria in the air, clean the sink and sink with clean water once a week, and then spray potassium permanganate and other solutions into the henhouse and utensils for disinfection to prevent chickens from getting sick.
4. Disease prevention
The biggest problem of raising chickens at home is that chickens are easy to get sick, so check the henhouse once a day. If chickens are found to be infected, they should be isolated immediately to avoid infection. Healthy chickens should be vaccinated according to their specific diseases to avoid mass death.
