How to breed free range chickens, how to raise free range chickens?

Free-range chickens choose land to build chicken coops to buy high-quality chicks, reasonably provide local chickens with drinking water and food, and diversify local chicken vaccines and local chicken breeding methods.

Choose a place to build a chicken coop to buy high-quality chicks: first choose a good place to raise free-range chickens, it is best to choose a garden, the garden range is larger, there are trees, flowers and plants, all kinds of insects, and other delicacies suitable for local chickens to enjoy. In addition, it is recommended to build a chicken coop, it is recommended that the first time to raise local chickens, don't make the scale too big, first an appropriate amount of breeding part, after some days of learning and experience, and then more breeding as well, which will reduce losses.

Once everything is ready, it is necessary to buy high-quality chicks in the first year, and it is better to use self-breeding in the future. This also reduces costs. The chicks on the market are around yuan, and the self-breeding chicks are around yuan.

Reasonable water and food for local chickens: as long as reasonable breeding, more than 3 months will grow up, but this time can not be **, but also have to breed some days, the meat quality can be sold at a good price, the diet should be arranged, to do on time to give the chicken drinking water and sufficient food to enjoy. Only in this way will the meat be tender and delicious.

The cost of chicken vaccine: the prevention of chickens is very important, the vaccine money of local chickens is determined by the amount of breeding, usually the vaccine money is 20 yuan, and about 2,000 can be injected. The number of vaccinations for local chickens is at least about 3 times, and the cost of vaccines for chickens is a few cents.

It is also necessary to regularly deworm the body of native chickens, which is conducive to their healthy growth.

The cost of free-range chickens: the best free-range chicken breeding, generally about 120 days can be sold, the weight of about a pound is good, at this time the chicken is the best sales period, the meat is very tender, the usual feed cost of breeding chickens is about 16 yuan. Sell some roosters and local chickens with low egg laying rates first, and let the high-quality female chickens lay more eggs first, so as to prepare for the next batch of chicks.

Native chicken breeding methods should be diversified: breeders can use finished grain and feed and natural food of native chickens, natural food can contain high protein grass insects and moths, etc., is the delicacy of local chickens.

Lifestyle choices of local chickens: try to let the local chickens grow naturally and healthily, let them live in the chicken coop in autumn and winter, let them live freely in the garden in spring and summer, they will know how to live more comfortably, I don't believe you can see, some are on the branches, some are on the ground, some are in the grass, in short, they are very smart, they know how to live their own life. Frequently clean the manure in the habitat of native chickens, and disinfect it at designated points to strengthen management.

Protect chickens from other animal damages.

Choose high-quality eggs to hatch: carry out chicken mothers or machines to hatch quality chicks, which can greatly return the original, and then say that your own high-quality eggs hatch chicks are also assured. In 21 days, the eggs will change from eggs to chicks.

Chicks grow up healthily under the care of their mothers: chicks will learn a lot of life skills, so batches of chicks become adult chickens that can be sold, and they can be turned into cash, which can improve the living standards and economic income of local chicken farmers. It has really become a rich gold for farmers.

When raising native chickens, we must pay attention to preventing diseases in advance.

Farm Selection. Free-range chicken farms are generally located in idle places in front of and behind houses, such as meadows, forests, orchards and other places that can be used before and after or near houses. For the sake of easy management, it is recommended to be as close to home as possible, because it is free-range, the larger the site, the better, so that the chickens have more space to move around and the food is more natural.

The second is the layout of the farm. Once you've chosen your site, it's time to simply lay out the farm site. Chickens belong to the category of birds, and many of the characteristics are the same as birds.

When the farm is arranged, it can be simply arranged according to the biological characteristics of the chickens. Chickens have a relatively simple ability to fly and prefer to rest on tree trunks above the ground or on high ground. Therefore, according to the topography of the farm or other favorable conditions, bamboo poles, branches, sticks, etc. can be used to build a roosting and leisure place for chickens, and the height above the ground is about 2m.

The third is the construction of chicken coops. Depending on the size of the farm and the number of chickens, build a chicken coop in a suitable place on the farm. Planks, masonry, or other materials can be used to build a chicken coop. In principle, it can be sheltered from wind and rain and protected from the sun.

The fourth is the construction of chicken coops. The coop is where the hen lays her eggs and hatches her chicks. In order to reduce the loss of eggs, facilitate the collection and management of eggs, and facilitate the hatching of chickens, according to the number of hens, build a chicken house in a suitable place on the farm.

The chicken coop is built on the principle of quiet, soft, comfortable, dry and clean, so that the chickens can lay eggs safely and comfortably, without being disturbed by the external environment.

Fifth, the disinfection of the venue. Chicken diseases, like other animals, adhere to the principle of prevention first, prevention and treatment combined. Every year, the farm is thoroughly disinfected or fed with medicated chicken feed.

Sixth, regular and quantitative fixed-point feeding. There are many natural foods for free-range chickens, such as grass seeds, insects, plant stems and leaves, and other natural foods. For the rapid growth of chickens and the increase of economic income, you can feed chickens with edible foods such as corn, millet, and various vegetable leaves at home.

In terms of feeding, it is necessary to adhere to timed, quantitative, and fixed-point feeding, and feed about 2 or 3 times a day.

Seventh, ensure that chickens have enough drinking water. Chickens, like other animals, need to drink water, especially in summer, when the amount of water increases. Therefore, if there is no natural water source in the breeding site, it is necessary to set up drinking water devices for chickens in appropriate places, and provide fixed drinking places for chickens with pots, tanks, buckets and other water holding tools that are not used at home.

The eighth is to prevent enemy damage and other damage. During the normal process of feeding, the number of chickens should be kept in mind in case of enemy damage or other damage. If some wild animals bite chickens, and some domestic dogs bite chickens, management and prevention should be strengthened in this regard.

1. Chicken seedlings should choose native chicken seedlings with low environmental requirements, wide adaptability, strong disease resistance, large activity and high meat quality.

2. Keep the house clean and dry and the air fresh, pay attention to heat preservation and ventilation in winter, and the ambient temperature should be 14 23.

3. The feeding density of native chickens can be slightly greater than that of broilers, generally within one week of age, 35 m, and then about 5 m per week until the transition to room temperature. Then carry out the rotation of the pen.

4. The first feeding of chicks at the right time is called cutting. The cutting time should be appropriately postponed, and the most suitable time should be 24 36h after the chicken is out of the shell. It can also be determined according to the health status of the chicks and the outside temperature.

5. Boil water as soon as possible, and the first time the chicks drink water is called boiling water. As soon as the chicks arrive, they are sent to the brooding room (especially necessary in winter) and allowed to drink freely.

Free-range chickens should start with site selection and feeding methods.

1. It is not suitable for moldy feed, and the nutrition of the feed must be ensured.

2. For the choice of feed, you can also choose some high-protein such as cheaper insects and mealworms to replace feed. There are also some farmers who will choose self-ingredients, using some corn, soybean meal, wheat bran, etc., but this feed formula is not very balanced nutritionally.

3. You can put a few roosters in the local chicken, the ratio is 1 to 15, and if it is exceeded, it can be eliminated, so as not to cause waste of feed.

4. Selection of free-range sites.

For the chicken industry, the requirements for mountainous areas in this breeding mode are not too high, such as orchards, green forests, timber forests and other sites that we often see in rural areas can be matched with free-range breeding.

But there is one thing that needs to be paid attention to by farmers, that is, most of the common chicken breeds are more lively by nature, often like to fly to the branches of the trees to play, more or less will bring a certain bad impact on the trees, in order to avoid losses, try not to be in the seedling period of the woodland when choosing a free-range site, and the slope of the mountain is not too large.

5. In order to ensure the egg production of laying hens, the water must not be cut off and sufficient drinking water must be ensured.

In the process of raising chickens, the most important thing to pay attention to is the prevention and control of chicken diseases and vaccines, it is not easy to raise chickens, and it is more important to stick to it when it is not good caused by the rumors of avian flu.

Selecting suitable free-range land and building chicken sheds, carrying out free-range training of native chickens, setting up laying nests and arranging egg pick-up.

1. Choose a suitable free-range place and build a chicken shed.

Free-range chickens are best raised in rural orchards, mountains, bamboo gardens, tea gardens, mulberry gardens, woodlands, and wild lands. In this way, farmers have less investment, less chicken diseases, and a high survival rate. It is also necessary to build a chicken shed so that the chickens can stay overnight on the perch. Drainage ditches are set around the chicken shed.

2. Carry out free-range training of local chickens.

The free-range training of native chickens is a key part of the rearing. Start with the young chicks. Purposefully train the chicken to reflex, such as coming back at a specific time to eat and drink.

The chickens are also trained in their ability to forage for feed and forage forage. Let the chickens show their abilities in the open mountains, freely catch insects and peck at tender grass.

3. Set up egg laying nests and arrange egg pick-up.

Because it is a free-range chicken, the eggs laid are not domesticated, and it is easy to lay eggs at will. Farmers need to set up egg nests, and place the egg nests in a quiet, hidden, light and sheltered place, which can ensure the safety and comfort of hens when laying eggs. Farmers should inspect the site more, and they can turn 1 time per hour in the morning to pick up eggs in time.

Otherwise, the eggs will be left for a long time, which will easily cause the contamination of the eggs, invade the pathogenic microorganisms, and reduce the quality of the eggs.

1. Choose excellent varieties.

Excellent breeds of broilers are the basis for improving the economic benefits of breeding, so when choosing broiler breeds, we should choose excellent broiler breeds, and require the selected breeds to be suitable for local climatic conditions, natural resources, market conditions and people's preferences for chicken products, so as to select high-quality and suitable breeds.

2. Site selection.

The site of raising native chickens should be selected in the road, hydropower investment province, there is no industry nearby, no pollution source, the first amount of barren mountains or mountainous areas, the canopy is smaller, the fruit trees are sparse place, the surface vegetation is rich, and 60% of the terrain in the breeding area should be relatively flat.

The terrain should be leeward and sunny, high and dry, convenient to take water, and avoid dense chicken farms along the river, and the distance between the farms should not be less than 200m.

3. Density control.

As long as 60-80 chickens per acre are maintained, the number of native chickens is the best. It can have more space to move around than chickens that are generally fed in the coop. As a result, their chickens become more compact, tastier and sell better.

When our chicken feeding density is too large, the range of activity will also become smaller, and the advantage of free-range chickens will be lost.

First of all, we must find a good market to sell, and then we must deal with the manure of local chickens and get rid of hygiene.

Then there is the problem of breeding, and the biggest problem of breeding is the treatment of discrimination. In my personal experience, it is possible to farm earthworms to solve.

The quality of the native chicken is mainly based on the breed, growth environment and breeding method of the native chicken. Generally, free-range chickens will be better than captive-raised.

In terms of breed, the chickens in each place are not the same due to factors such as geographical environment, so the names are not the same, as far as Guangdong is concerned, the three yellow chickens, Xinghua chickens, and hemp chickens are all better breeds. As for the growth environment, there are many original forest vegetation environments in the southwest area, such as Jiang Ge native chicken.

In short, to raise local chickens, you must have perseverance: believe that you can make money; It is necessary to concentrate and do a good job of vaccine breeding for chickens. You can't dry your nets for three days and fish for two days!

1. Breeding land.

Choose natural grasslands, natural mountains and orchards and fields with superior ecological environment for breeding. There is no major pollution source within 5 kilometers of the farm, and it is best to have abundant forage, creeks, and mountain springs, and it is leeward to the sun, the water source is sufficient, and the water is convenient. Large-scale farming also requires that transportation and power supply are guaranteed to facilitate the transportation and processing of feed and products.

Chicken coops are built on a per square meter per chicken basis, and the sports field is built on a square meter basis per chicken, and the sports field is enclosed with bamboo fences and plastic nets.

Second, the local chicken seedlings.

Generally, large-scale poultry trading market or professional chicken farms have native chicken seedlings wholesale, it is recommended that farmers choose nearby, after door-to-door field visits in the purchase of native chicken seedlings, when introducing and purchasing chicken seedlings, can not only be cheap and not seek quality, so that the later survival rate of the purchased chicken seedlings is often lower, the growth is slow, and the feed conversion rate is not high.

Third, the density of free-range chickens.

The density of free-range chickens is generally maintained at 200-500 per mu. Native chickens, also known as grass chickens, stupid chickens, are domesticated from ancient domestication, never after any hybridization and optimal breeding, long-term natural foraging or combined with rough feeding, with strong foraging and survival ability in the wild.

Fourth, feed feed.

Feed concentrate feed to local chickens: feed some concentrate feed with relatively high protein content, such as earthworms, fly maggots, etc., these concentrate feeds are artificially raised, which is both nutritious and can supplement protein. Liquor mixed feed:

Adding about 30-40 grams of 60 degrees of liquor per kilogram of feed can improve the egg production rate of local chickens.

Fifth, the chicken feed formula:

Chicks: 45% corn, 18% broken rice, 12% wheat, 20% soybean cake, 3% fish meal, 3% fish meal, 2% bone meal and salt to taste. Adult chickens (over 45 days old):

20% corn, 15% broken rice, 10% wheat, 30% bean (bran) cake, 20% crushed green material, 3% of the Hui elements, 1% of salt, baking soda, of which fish meal and bone meal can be homemade, and the mussel meat, livestock and poultry bones can be dried and crushed.

Sixth, the slaughter time.

If it is a domestic chicken, it generally takes about 1 year to be slaughtered; If it is a large-scale breeding of native chickens, it generally takes 135-180 days. Native chickens are generally free-range, because they are wild foraging grass insects, growing in the wild, and their nutritional value is high and the taste is good.
