As we all know, one of the core elements of feeding and management is temperature, which is interdependent and restrictive with humidity and ventilation. If the three are not coordinated well, temperature differences will occur. Temperature difference seems simple to say, but it is not easy to effectively control the entire breeding process. Temperature differences usually have the following situations. 1. Seasonal temperature difference It mainly refers to the four seasons throughout the year, the impact of the seasons on feeding and management, and the changes in feeding and management caused by the easy mutation of climate when the seasons change. 2. Weather temperature difference It mainly refers to the changes and responses to feeding management caused by weather conditions such as clear, cloudy, fog, rain, frost, snow, and wind. In the breeding process, only by constantly changing with the changes in the environment can the chickens minimize the incidence of disease. Therefore, chickens like to be diligent and avoid laziness. On sunny days, you should pay attention to the temperature that changes with time, and adjust the ventilation volume at any time. If the winter is hot and cold, try to extend the boiler heating...
Closed Poultry houses are essential for the successful operation of any poultry farm. They provide a safe and comfortable environment for birds to live in, protecting them from adverse climatic conditions such as extreme temperatures, wind, rain, and snow. Poultry houses also ensure easy and economic operation by providing a controlled environment that allows for scientific feeding and proper micro-climatic conditions in the vicinity of the birds. In addition to protecting from the elements, poultry houses are also important for effective disease control measures. By keeping birds in a contained space with proper ventilation, it is easier to monitor their health and quickly identify any potential issues. Furthermore, having a poultry house allows for better supervision of the birds as they can be easily monitored from outside the building. This helps ensure that all birds are healthy and well taken care of at all times. Traditionally, there are different types of poultry houses, ranging from different materials like wooden/bamboo structures to steel structure prefabricated steel buildings. Most chicken farmers who run a poultry business at a relatively smaller capacity would prefer to use wood or bamboo for building poultry houses because it is cheaper and easier to...

You can research different breeds online or ask a local hatchery for advice. Build a good house for the birds with all the required facilities. Each bird should have at least 4 square feet of floor space in the coop and 8 square feet in the run. The coop should have a roost, a nest box, a feeder, a waterer, and a ventilation system.
