Tools/materials: bamboo chips, discarded tires, straw baskets, dried straw or discarded clothes, etc.
1. Weaving bamboo pieces into bamboo baskets and baskets, or using discarded car tires, straw baskets and plastic pots can all be used as chicken nests.
2. Dry straw or waste clothes covering about two-thirds of the henhouse need to be spread evenly inside the henhouse, which can not only ensure the warmth of the henhouse, prevent chickens from catching cold, but also ensure that hens do not break their eggs in the henhouse.
3. The prepared henhouse can be placed in a place that is protected from light and rain, such as a dark place inside the henhouse or a place where chickens often rest. Be careful not to put it in a place where water will accumulate, which will lead to humidity in the henhouse, and chickens will always catch a cold in the henhouse.
Matters needing attention in building henhouses:
1, the chicken nest is generally built in the corner, generally choose the northwest corner, which is beneficial to the light in the north, and it is best to be close to trees for shade in summer; Try to stay away from the house to prevent the smell of chicken nests from affecting life. After the site is selected, the land will be leveled. Generally, the terrain near the place is higher, which is conducive to the discharge of accumulated water.
2. After the external frame of the henhouse is built, the interior of the henhouse should be arranged, and the crossbars of the henhouse should be fixed with bricks, so that the chickens can stand stably. After the crossbar is fixed, determine the position of the henhouse. The location of the chicken nest should be in a remote corner or place to avoid disturbing the chicken during production, thus affecting the chicken production. The trough should be installed in a place convenient for feeding, such as an aisle.
