How to raise chickens and ducklings Can chickens and ducklings be raised together

Don't feed it too much food, but feed it less and eat more often. In fact, it is best to feed at home, and you can also feed feed. It is best to feed in two shifts, mainly with food, and often with some feed.

It's hard to say about the amount of food, there is no data, you can use your own feelings to judge whether the chick is full, and you can also judge according to its eating speed, generally if you are full, the eating will be slow.

When the chickens are very small, it is best to use the iodine to save the winter blind clay pot used for raising birds to feed the chicks water, and let it drink by itself, and leave it alone.

Don't let the chicks eat outside, it's not safe. Chickens at home do not need to be fed bugs at all, but you can feed them if you want, in short, some smaller bugs can be fed to it, but it must not be sprayed with insecticides.

If your chick's breast is a little protruding, it should be overfed. Cut back on a little food, don't feed too much, just don't worry if it's not too prominent.

In fact, chicks are very easy to raise, don't think that they are easy to die. I've had several chicks like this, and they all grow into big chickens.

1. Coffee-colored chickens are not necessarily grass chickens, but the probability is much greater than that of yellow, and walking speed does not determine the quality of chickens.

2. It is best not to mix chickens and ducklings together, just because ducklings will peck at chickens, hehe.

3. Chicks can't be bathed, and they can't be washed with anything. If it is too dirty, you can wipe it with a paper towel dipped in water.

4. The chickens should be raised in the box, so that they will not eat cigarette ash. It's okay to eat poop.

5. Chickens don't need to eat sand, eggshells don't need to eat, millet is OK, soak in water for an hour before feeding, and ducklings eat cooked cornmeal porridge and put vegetable leaves.

Chicks and ducklings cannot be raised together.

Chickens and ducks have different habits, and polyculture may lead to the failure of both chickens and ducks to grow healthily. Chickens and ducks are inconsistent in their nutritional requirements, taking crude protein as an example, laying hens are required to be about 16, laying ducks are required to be about 18, chickens and ducks are fed together, which can easily lead to overnutrition or lack of nutrition.

Ducks like to fish from the water, like to eat vegetables, can also digest more crude fiber, chickens like to eat pellets, the digestibility of crude fiber is very low; Ducks are stronger than chickens, after feeding, generally ducks compete for food first, and ducks eat a large amount, if the feed is insufficient, it is often chickens that do not eat enough.

Ducks are louder, while chickens prefer to live in quieter environments. If chickens and ducks are mixed, it will affect the rapid fattening of broilers and the egg production rate of laying hens. Ducks are waterfowl and love water, and in the case of more humid farms, it is easy to cause chicken disease.

Therefore, chickens and ducks should not be kept together in cracked sails.

Chick breeding techniques

1. Breeding environment.

Chicks need to be built in a sunny and dry and ventilated place to breed, or to use a sterilized carton to feed temporarily, build a chicken coop with lime powder or ultraviolet disinfection treatment, carton feeding when the ruler source, on both sides of the breathing hole, paving shredded paper and old newspapers.

2. Feeding method.

Chicks have weak digestive ability, can not be fed directly pellet feed, after the end of the first drinking water, you can use warm water to soak fine crushed millet or wheat, warm water soaking and then feeding is conducive to chick digestion, regular feeding 3 times a day, drinking water can only be used warm water, so as not to have diarrhea, resulting in chicks sick and dying.

3. Control the temperature.

Chicks have poor thermoregulation, to be bred in a warm environment, the initial temperature of the chicken house should be controlled at about 32 degrees, every other week to reduce 2-3 degrees, with the growth of chicks, adjust the environmental temperature to hail, and finally stabilize between 18-21 degrees, at this time the chick's body temperature mediation is basically stable.

1. Feed feeding.

Ducklings should be kept more carefully, it can eat omnivorous. Each feeding is generally a special duckling feed, and then mixed with some vegetable leaves, so that the ducklings will be healthier, and at the same time will not be picky eaters.

The ducklings don't eat much each time, but they are easy to digest, so Lu Ranyu doesn't need to feed too much each time, at least five or six times a day. The last thing to pay attention to is to ensure that there is enough drinking water, and the water quality should be clean and pollution-free.

2. Stocking method.

After the ducklings have been fed for a while, if the weather is clear, the ducklings can be released outside on the lawn or orchard. This can exercise the foraging ability of the ducklings, and at the same time can promote the digestion and enhance the physique of the ducks.

The stocking of ducklings is also required, spring and autumn days are generally in the afternoon stocking is appropriate, and summer is generally stocked as early or as soon as the temperature drops in the afternoon, and in winter only when the weather is sunny and the temperature is high.

3. Sanitation and cleaning.

The duckling's eating, drinking, and Lazar are basically solved in the duck house, so the hygiene of the duck house is relatively dirty, and it is also easy to get wet, which has a great impact on the growth of the ducklings. What we have to do is to change the litter regularly, and clean up the sanitation of the duck house, and the replacement of the litter is generally about three days to replace it. There are also early rocks, that is, troughs and troughs, which should also be cleaned to ensure hygiene, so as to avoid the entry of pests and diseases.

1. Drink water. The ducklings must be drunk within 24 hours after hatching, and the general practice is to put the ducklings into a shallow basin of 1 cm deep for a few minutes to let the ducklings wet their feet and drink, which is commonly referred to as "some water". The water quality must be fresh, clean, and the water temperature is close to room temperature, with the increase of age, the ducklings drink more water, often clean drinking utensils and replace dirty drinking water, and fill with fresh water.

2. Start eating. Within 24-28 hours of hatchling, when all ducklings have drunk water, let the ducklings eat. It should not exceed 36 hours at the latest.

In the first few days after the ducklings start eating, the "less feeding and more meals" system should be adopted, that is, feeding 7-8 times a day, each feeding amount is very small, but it is necessary to ensure that the ducklings are full. In the future, the ducklings will be allowed to eat freely and drink water freely, and there will be no artificial light at night.

3. Feed feeding. Duckling feed should be fresh, clean, nutritious, moderate particle size, palatability, easy to digest feed. For 10-15 days, ducklings are fed 500 grams of full price feed per duck, with a small amount of rice mixed during feeding.

Then, with rice and rice, crushed corn and other cereal feed feed until the weight is more than 75 grams, it can be put into the field.

4. Illumination. In order to ensure that the ducklings have enough time to feed and drink, the first 3 days are generally used 24 hours a day of light, that is, artificial light is increased at night, and the light intensity is appropriate for the ducklings to see the feed and drinking water.
