CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How to collect chicken manure when raising chickens in the wild?

1. How to collect chicken manure when raising chickens in the wild?

When raising chickens in the wild, collecting chicken manure is an important part of effectively managing the chicken house and using the chicken manure. Here are some common methods for collecting chicken manure:

1. Establish a suitable chicken manure collection system: A special chicken manure collection device can be set up inside the chicken house to prevent chicken manure from directly contacting the ground and reduce the pollution and loss of manure. Collection trays, centralized collection troughs, etc. can be used to ensure that chicken manure is effectively collected.

2. Clean the chicken coop regularly: Clean the chicken coop regularly to remove the chicken manure in the chicken coop. You can use tools such as shovels and brooms to collect the chicken manure in a centralized composting site or collection container.

3. Composting: Collect the chicken manure and pile it in a designated area for composting. Chicken manure can be mixed with other organic matter (such as straw, wood chips, etc.) to promote the decomposition and biodegradation process of the compost. Ensure that the compost pile is well ventilated and turn and moisten the compost regularly to promote the decomposition and maturity process.

4. Small-scale utilization: If you only have a small amount of chicken manure, you can use it as plant fertilizer. Dilute the chicken manure with water and then water it into the soil of the plant to provide nutrients. Please note that this method should be used with caution and ensure that the amount is used appropriately to avoid over-fertilization and environmental problems.

Please note that when collecting and handling chicken manure, you should pay attention to hygiene and protective measures to avoid direct contact with manure and exposure to harmful substances. At the same time, ensure that chicken manure is properly handled according to local laws and regulations and avoid pollution to the environment.

2. How long does it take for chickens in a chicken farm to lay eggs in winter?

A few decades ago, farm chickens rarely laid eggs in winter, especially in the north. There are two reasons for this: first, the weather is cold, and laying hens usually stop laying eggs when the temperature drops below zero; second, there is less food in winter, and part of the nutrients are used to resist the low temperature, which makes it difficult to meet the nutritional needs of chickens for laying eggs. However, with the development of the poultry industry, the advancement of breeding technology, and the improvement of modernization, chickens can lay eggs even in winter.

1. If the chickens are kept in a closed enclosure, they can lay eggs in winter and the egg production rate remains basically unchanged. There are two main reasons for this: first, the temperature, humidity and air quality inside the chicken house can meet the egg production needs and are not affected by seasonal changes outside; second, there are enough high-quality food sources for laying hens to fully meet the nutritional needs of sustained high production.

2. If the chickens are free-range, most of them can lay eggs in winter, but the egg production rate will be lower. The better the chicken house conditions, the closer the egg production rate is to the normal level.

To sum up, in the current poultry farming industry, more than 99% of laying hens can continue to lay eggs in winter, and more than 98% of laying hens can maintain normal egg production rates.

3. What do chickens eat in the wild in winter?

In winter, the weather is cold and chickens have less food to forage for in the wild.

In winter, the green grass outside has withered, and chickens often move around in the wild. If they are lucky, they can also eat insects such as centipedes, mantises, and earthworms. In addition, the owner will pick some cabbage and green vegetables, add some cornmeal and mix them together to feed the chickens, so as to ensure the quality and taste of the chicken.

4. How to raise chickens in winter?

Seven things to note when raising chickens in winter, I hope it helps you!

1. Keep warm. The cold and changeable climate in winter brings many inconveniences to chicken production, especially the impact of low temperature on laying hens is very obvious. Under normal circumstances, you can increase the stocking density appropriately, close doors and windows, hang straw curtains, drink warm water and use stoves for heating to keep warm and keep the minimum temperature of the chicken house between 3℃ and 5℃.

2. Proper ventilation. In winter, due to the low temperature, the doors and windows of the chicken house are tightly closed, and the ventilation volume is reduced, but the exhaust gas discharged by the chickens and the harmful gases such as ammonia, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen sulfide produced by the fermentation of chicken manure still exist, which can easily induce respiratory diseases in chickens. Therefore, it is necessary to effectively handle the relationship between ventilation and warmth preservation, and promptly remove feces and debris in the chicken house. When the weather is good at noon, the windows should be opened for ventilation to make the air in the house fresh and oxygen-rich.

3. Reduce humidity. In winter, the ventilation in the chicken house is small, the evaporation of water 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, causing excessive humidity in the chicken house, creating conditions for the proliferation of bacteria and parasites. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen management, pay attention to keeping the chicken house clean and dry, repair damaged water tanks in time, avoid adding too much water when filling it, and it is strictly forbidden to splash water on the ground in the house.

4. Regular disinfection. Disinfection should be carried out throughout the entire process of raising chickens. The temperature is lower in winter, and the frequency of bacterial activity decreases. However, the winter climate is cold, and the resistance of chickens is generally weakened. If disinfection is neglected, it is very easy to cause an outbreak of disease.

5. Supplementary lighting. In winter, the nights are long and the days are short. Laying hens will have a lower egg production rate due to insufficient light. In order to overcome this natural defect, artificial light supplementation can be used to make up for it. Under normal circumstances, the total light time per day should not be less than 14 hours and should not exceed 17 hours. For example, if the natural light during the day is 12 hours, artificial light supplementation is required for 2-5 hours per day.

6. Increase energy. Chickens rely on the heat energy they eat to maintain their body temperature. The lower the outside temperature, the more heat energy the chickens consume to keep warm. According to measurements, the feed consumption of chickens in winter increases by 10% compared to other seasons. Therefore, sufficient energy must be ensured in the feed of chickens in winter. In addition to ensuring a certain proportion of protein, high-energy feed containing more starch and sugar should be appropriately increased to meet the physiological and production needs of chickens.

7. Strengthen the physique. In winter, the resistance of chickens decreases, so special attention should be paid to disease prevention and prevention, and vaccination should be carried out regularly. According to the actual situation, some preventive drugs can also be fed regularly, and the content of vitamins and trace elements in the feed can be appropriately increased.

5. Can the chickens I buy from a chicken farm survive the winter?

It mainly depends on the conditions at home. The temperature should be suitable for their growth, and the feed they are fed should be as consistent as possible with that in the chicken farm. Let them adapt to the environment as quickly as possible so that they can survive longer.

In addition, the temperature in the chicken farm is not particularly high in winter, and the temperature at home where the chickens live should be strictly controlled. Controlling the temperature also requires controlling the humidity, which is high in winter.

6. What should you pay attention to when raising chickens? What is needed to raise chickens in the wild?

Move the chicken farming site to the mountains (or orchards), away from the village, less disease, save feed, and faster growth, but pay attention to the following four points

1. Site selection The chicken farm should be located in a sunken valley sheltered from the wind, with grass and trees. The trees can provide shade and the grass can be eaten. A simple chicken house that is warm in winter and cool in summer should be built in a dry place.

2. Raise the chickens at home for 30 to 45 days and then move them to the mountains for breeding, the survival rate will be higher. Let the chickens move around during the day, bask in the sun, and forage. Feed them half full for breakfast and lunch to stimulate their enthusiasm for foraging, and feed them full for dinner. The bottom of the trough should be large and the mouth should be small, with an inner curling edge nailed on the mouth to prevent the chickens from hooking the feed with their mouths, and to prevent the chickens from defecating in the trough and digging out the feed. In the summer evenings, from dusk to 10 o'clock at night, hang an electric light 1 meter high on the flat ground of the chicken coop to lure insects and feed the chickens. If there is no electricity, hang a kerosene lamp. Provide enough clean drinking water

3. Keep the chicken coop warm in winter and cool in summer. Pay special attention to the invasion of "late spring cold". Let the chickens go back to the coop to spend the night. Clean up the chicken manure every morning. You can keep a dog to prevent wild animals.

4. Epidemic prevention: 7 days after hatching, use Newcastle disease II vaccine to drip into the nose, 1 drop in each nostril of each chicken; after 60 days, use Newcastle disease I vaccine and cholera vaccine to inject, 1 ml per chicken, to prevent fowl plague and cholera. Use half vinegar and half cold boiled water, or dissolve 1 tablet of Fumosil in 500 grams of cold boiled water, let the chicken drink; you can also stuff soybeans into fresh pig gallbladder, tie the tube mouth tightly, and air dry. Half a pill for each 1-month-old chicken, 2-3 pills for each 2-month-old chicken, use alternately, the effect of preventing and treating white diarrhea is very good.

7. What do chickens eat in winter?

I don’t know if you are doing large-scale economic breeding. If so, please contact us so that I can purchase some chicken feed. After all, it has been scientifically formulated and is relatively nutritious.

If you just keep them at home for fun, you only need to chop some cabbage leaves and mix them with some cornmeal or some small grains like millet. Chickens are very easy to keep alive.

8. What is the best way to raise chickens in a chicken pond?

1. Feeding and management of chickens

A well-managed chicken house can save feed, avoid feed waste, and maximize the conversion of input feed into chicken growth. A well-managed chicken house has fewer chicken diseases, which can save the cost of purchasing vaccines, as well as the cost of conventional preventive and therapeutic drugs. Strengthen ventilation every day, pay attention to maintaining the humidity of the chicken house, and measures to maintain appropriate humidity. Generally speaking, the limit of high humidity is higher than 75%, and the limit of low humidity is lower than 40%. When the humidity is too high, strengthen ventilation and remove moisture; the waterer should be placed firmly to prevent it from tilting and wetting the litter. The main method is to increase the humidity by measures such as ground sprinkling, aerial spraying, and adding a water basin on the stove.

2. Feed

Feed is the basis of chicken farming and the key factor in the success or failure of chicken farming. Generally speaking, feed costs account for 70% to 80% of the cost of chicken farming. Therefore, how to reasonably select, use and develop feed, improve feed return rate and reduce feed consumption rate plays a decisive role in improving the economic benefits of chicken farming. Common feeds for chicken cages can be roughly divided into energy feed, protein feed, mineral feed, vitamin feed and feed additives.

9. Which type of domestic chicken is the heaviest?

Turkeys usually appear at Thanksgiving. They are 3-4 times larger than domestic chickens, with a body length of 110-115 cm. The wingspan is 125-144 cm, the weight is 2.5-10.8 kg, and the beak is strong and slightly curved. They are one of the heaviest chickens in the world. Turkeys are native to the United States and Mexico. They live in temperate and subtropical forests. Wild turkeys like to live in waterside woodlands. Therefore, turkeys are generally distributed in Canada, Mexico, and the United States.
