What do farmers need to pay attention to when raising laying hens at home?

When farmers raise laying hens at home, they should do a good job in the purchase of chicks, safety protection, health monitoring and other basic work.

The first is the work on the purchase of chicks. We generally recommend that farmers who raise laying hens at home should go to regular chicken farms to buy chicks that are a certain age and have grown some hard feathers; Although such chicks are more expensive, they can clarify the gender, have a better physique, and have a high survival rate. We do not recommend that farmers buy smaller-aged or dyed chicks from the market, as they are cheap but prone to potential health problems and have a low survival rate.

When selecting chicks, farmers should choose more active individuals, and need to check for physiological defects, such as tumor lumps or developmental malformations. Farmers do not need to raise local chickens on a large scale, so they can spend more time selecting suitable chicks to reduce the investment of capital in the early stage.

Secondly, in the process of laying hen breeding, farmers also need to pay attention to the safety protection of laying hens. First of all, laying hens should be concentrated in captivity during the chick seedling stage, it is recommended that farmers choose indoor captivity, if they choose outdoor captivity, they should be closed in a cage with dense mesh to prevent them from being attacked by predators such as wild cats; Attention should also be paid to keeping the chicks warm and feeding and watering at all times. After the laying hens have basically grown up and have a certain ability to live independently, they can choose to be stock-ranged, so that they have a certain free space to move around during the day to facilitate growth.

However, it is necessary to pay attention to the range of movement of laying hens and avoid them entering farmland and other places to avoid danger or damage to crops. At the same time, farmers need to pay extra attention to protection from wild dogs or weasels in autumn and winter.

In addition, farmers also need to pay attention to the physical monitoring of laying hens. When the laying hen has symptoms such as loss of appetite and reduced mobility, it should be isolated from the flock in time to avoid the further expansion of the disease; At the same time, the medicine should be fed in time**, and in severe cases, it should be culled in time to avoid further spread of the disease and cause losses. When the laying hens are old and the egg production declines, farmers can slaughter them or slaughter them to further recover the cost, and also avoid their old age and disease, resulting in losses.

To sum up, farmers should do a good job in the purchase of chicks, safety protection, health monitoring and other work when raising laying hens. Doing a good job of these tasks can make the farmer's laying hen breeding process smoother.

To choose excellent chicks, in the process of breeding, we must choose the right place, to keep the place ventilated, to provide particularly high-quality feed, to pay attention to the density when breeding.

Give the chickens corn, drink water, feed some feed properly, pay attention to the changes in their bodies at any time, and see where the chickens like to lay eggs.

Be mindful of where the animals live, be mindful of the food the animals eat, and be prepared to be safe and let these chickens move.

The production of free-range eggs in rural areas is small, the scale is small, and generally can only be sold by individuals in the market

In fact, there are many ways to sell local eggs, such as selling them in the market, and there are people in the countryside who come to collect them, **between 8 cents and yuan. It can also be sold through hair rings or local groups, and many parents are now willing to give their children local eggs.

<>1. Feed formula for laying chicks: 62% corn, wheat bran, % salt, and 1% additives. 2. Feed formula for laying hens:

Corn, wheat bran 14%, soybean meal 21%, additives 1%. 3. Feed formula for laying hens: corn, wheat bran 3%, soybean meal 28%, dicalcium phosphate, stone powder 8%, salt, additives 1%.

First, the feed formula of rural free-range laying hens

1. Feed formula for laying hens: corn, wheat bran 4%, soybean meal, fish meal 2%, rapeseed meal 4%, stone powder 8%, salt, additives 1%.

2. Feed formula for laying hens: corn, wheat bran 12%, soybean meal, fish meal 1%, rapeseed meal 4%, calcium hydrogen phosphate, stone powder, salt, additives 1%.

3. Feed formula for laying chicks: corn 62%, wheat bran, soybean meal 31%, dicalcium phosphate, stone powder, salt, additives 1%.

4. Pay attention to the state of the chickens when feeding, and if the chickens do not eat the feed, they should make changes to the feed formula in time.

Second, the precautions for free-range laying hens

1, this kind of chicken breeding project has higher requirements for breeding technology, and must master epidemic prevention, feeding management and other aspects of technology before breeding, so as to make the survival rate of laying hens reach more than 90%, and when the survival rate is less than 90%, it will lose a lot of financial resources.

2, to choose high-quality laying hen breeds such as Yakang, Roman powder, etc., this kind of high-quality laying hens in the egg production, high uniformity, easy to manage characteristics, compared with the breeding of local breeds of firewood chicken, egg quality is better and the economic benefits are more significant.
