How to build a chicken nest in the yard

To build a chicken coop in the yard, you need to choose a shady and cool place, build the ground with cement, and build the chicken coop with wooden boards. At the same time, in front of the chicken coop, you need to reserve an open space, enclose it with barbed wire as the activity area of chickens, and install a trough and egg laying equipment for chickens.

1, choose a place

To build a henhouse in the yard, you can choose a shady place as the building area. Because chickens can't be exposed to the sun for a long time, a cool place is the most suitable. The chicken nest is built in the leeward, which can reduce the probability of chicken getting sick and improve the survival rate.

2. Establish a framework

When building a henhouse, first of all, the henhouse should be built with wooden boards, and at the same time, entrances and exits and vents should be reserved in the henhouse to facilitate the entry and exit of chickens. Then, an open space should be reserved in front of the henhouse, and the henhouse and the open space should be circled together with barbed wire from the top to the periphery as the activity place for chickens.

3. Internal facilities

After the chicken coop frame is built, a layer of straw or sawdust can be spread in the chicken coop to provide a warm resting place for the chicken, and at the same time, the eggs can be prevented from being broken when the chicken lays eggs. At the same time, in the activity area, a trough should be installed for the chickens to eat by themselves. At the same time, it is best to build a henhouse above the activity area to provide more space for it.

4. Preventive measures

After the henhouse is built, all the construction waste in the henhouse should be cleaned up, and it is also necessary to check whether the barbed wire is installed firmly, so as to avoid the invasion of natural enemies and affect the growth of chickens. If the henhouse is painted as decoration, you should wait until the smell of the paint dissipates before putting the chicken in for breeding.
