Can you raise a wave chicken in the northern winter?

It should be possible, the winter in Poland is similar to that in the north, since it is called Polish chicken, then Poland can raise it, why can't the north raise it.

It can also be raised in Poland and the north in winter. Put it in a warm room.

You can raise! Do the following precautions!

The climate is cold and changeable in winter, which brings a lot of inconvenience to chicken production, especially the impact of low temperature on laying hens is very obvious.

Under normal circumstances, you can take an appropriate increase in feeding density, and close doors and windows, add grass curtains, drinking warm water and stove heating and other ways to keep warm and keep warm, so that the minimum temperature of the chicken coop is maintained between 3 -5.

2. Moderate ventilation.

In winter, due to the low temperature, the doors and windows of the chicken coop are closed strictly, and the ventilation is reduced, but the exhaust gas discharged by the chickens and the ammonia and carbon dioxide produced by the fermentation of chicken manure.

Harmful gases such as hydrogen sulfide still exist, which can easily induce respiratory diseases in chickens.

Therefore, it is necessary to deal with the relationship between ventilation and warmth, and remove feces and debris in the chicken coop in time. When the weather is good at noon, the windows should be opened for ventilation to make the air in the house fresh and oxygen.

3. Reduce moisture.

In winter, the amount of ventilation in the chicken house is small, the amount of water evaporation is reduced, and the hot air in the house will condense into a large number of water droplets when it comes into contact with the cold roof and walls, resulting in excessive humidity in the chicken house, which can cause bacteria and parasites.

The conditions are created for mass reproduction.

Therefore, we must strengthen management, pay attention to keeping the chicken coop clean and dry, repair the damaged sink in time, do not overfill when adding water, and it is strictly forbidden to splash water on the ground in the house.

4. Regular disinfection.

Disinfection should run through the whole process of raising chickens. Winter temperatures are cooler, and the frequency of bacterial activity decreases. But the winter climate is cold, and the resistance of the chickens is generally weakened. If disinfection is neglected, it can easily lead to disease outbreaks.

5. Supplemental light.

In winter, the nights are long and the days are short, and the laying hens will cause a decrease in egg production due to insufficient light. In order to overcome this natural shortcoming, it can be compensated for by artificial supplemental lighting. In general, the total amount of light per day should not be less than 14 hours and should not exceed 17 hours.

For example, if you have 12 hours of natural light during the day, you need to manually supplement it for 2-5 hours a day.

6. Increase energy.

Chickens rely on the heat energy obtained from eating feed into the body to maintain body temperature, and the lower the outside temperature, the more heat energy the chicken consumes to keep out the cold. It has been determined that the feed consumption of chickens in winter increases by 10% compared to other seasons.

Therefore, in the winter chicken feed must ensure sufficient energy, in addition to ensuring a certain proportion of protein, should appropriately increase starch and sugar more high-energy feed, to meet the physiological and production needs of chickens.

7. Enhance physical fitness.

In winter, the resistance of chickens declines, and special attention should be paid to epidemic prevention and disease prevention, and regular vaccination should be carried out.
