What kinds of free-range chickens are there? How to separate purebred chickens and raise different kinds of chickens together? Does it matter?

It is suggested that when raising chickens, one kind of native chicken, one kind of native chicken and one kind of poultry should be raised. Unlike a broiler in a cage. Among them, "free-range native chicken on hillside" is the best, the cock crown is big and red, the sex is fierce and aggressive, and the hen comb is extremely small. Native chickens, also known as grass chickens and stupid chickens, refer to broilers raised in forests and orchards in Shan Ye. It has the characteristics of rough feeding resistance, strong nesting ability and strong disease resistance, and the meat is delicious. Eggs are very popular in urban and rural markets, and the price of eggs is higher than that of ordinary eggs, with high nutritional value. Chicken is delicious, eggs are of good quality and rich in nutrition, and the market demand prospect is broad. Moreover, because most of them are stocked in forests or orchards, which are closer to the requirements of environmental protection, they are more favored by consumers. For farmers with certain conditions, the feeding cost of Chai chicken is relatively low, which is suitable for family farming and has a long feeding cycle, generally about 6 months for adult Chai chicken.

There are some differences between native chickens and pheasants. They have some differences in brooding, but they are basically the same in other aspects. Pheasants can take off long distances, while chickens can take off short distances. Pheasants are lighter than native chickens. There are many kinds of chickens, and all kinds of chickens vary in size.

Free-range chickens belong to mountainous areas, and there are no industrial, mining and chemical enterprises around them, and there is no air, water and soil pollution. Chickens raised in this environment are even better than those raised by farmers.

Native chickens are scattered on the hillside, where plants are flourishing. Native chickens play and eat in the forest all day and enjoy enough exercise and sunshine. The resistance of this native chicken is much higher than that of foreign chickens or indoor chickens raised indoors, so there is no need to feed antibiotics and there will be no large number of deaths. Many soil eggs are laid directly in the forest, and the workload of picking up soil eggs is also great.

Feed management

Chicken baby

The quality of chicken seedlings plays a decisive role in chicken breeding. Local chickens with low environmental requirements, wide adaptability, strong disease resistance, large activity and excellent meat quality should be selected. Generally, chickens with lively flocks, strong calls, big heads and feet, protruding eyes, strong struggle, clean feathers, uniform individual size and consistent coat color can be judged as high-quality seedlings.

Every day; Tiantiandi

In summer, doors and windows should be opened as much as possible to keep the house clean and dry and the air fresh, and the feeding density should be strictly controlled, which is generally about 15 birds /m2. In addition, feed in advance and feed at night 1 time. Pay attention to heat preservation and ventilation in winter, and the suitable ambient temperature is 14 ~ 23℃. At the same time, the pens and utensils should be disinfected regularly to keep the feeding environment clean and hygienic.

Temperature requirement

Temperature is the key to the success of brooding. Before the chicks enter, the temperature of the nursery should be adjusted half a day in advance. In general, the temperature of brooding house should be controlled at 0 ~ 65438+33 ~ 35℃ at 0 weeks old, and then it will drop by 2 ~ 3℃ every week until 4 weeks old. In the specific operation process, observe whether the temperature is appropriate.

There are two ways: one is to look at the thermometer, and the other is to look at the distribution of chickens: when chickens gather together and keep singing near the heat source, it indicates that the indoor temperature is low; When chickens are far away from the heat source, distributed around and breathing with their mouths open, it indicates that the indoor temperature is high; When the chickens are evenly distributed, free to move and relatively quiet, the indoor temperature is more suitable. When the indoor temperature is high or low, it should be adjusted in time. The principles of temperature control are: high in the early stage and low in the late stage; Small groups should be high, large groups should be low; The weak group should be high and the strong group should be low; Cloudy days should be high and sunny days should be low.

Boil water as soon as possible. The first time a chicken drinks water is called boiling water. When the chicken arrives, send it to the nursery as soon as possible (especially in winter) and let it drink freely. For chicks after long-distance transportation or hot weather, add 0.9% glucose saline or rapid supplement to drinking water; Add 0.0 1 ~ to drinking water for short-distance transportation.

0.02% potassium permanganate. Boiling water should be as early as possible, so that more than 80% chicks can drink the first saliva at the same time; Slow-witted, squatting or weak chickens should be trained manually or stimulated by clapping their hands to promote drinking water. Water should be provided to chickens all day to ensure that chicks can drink it in time.

Cutting it in time for the first time to feed the chicken is called cutting it. The cutting time should be postponed appropriately, and the most suitable time is 24 ~ 36 hours after the chicken is hatched. It can also be determined according to the health status and external temperature of chicks. Generally, it is better for 85% chicks to have an appetite. Premature cutting can easily lead to malabsorption of egg yolk and become a stiff chicken, which leads to the disadvantages of low brooding rate and poor uniformity. It is best to choose a compound feed with small particle size and easy digestion when cutting. Feed should be sprinkled on items such as nylon cloth or cardboard to make chicks easy to eat. Feeding should be as little as possible to stimulate the appetite of chicks and reduce feed waste.

Feeding density

The feeding density of native chickens can be slightly higher than that of broilers, which is generally controlled at 35 birds/square meter in one week, and then reduced by about 5 birds/square meter every week until the transition to normal temperature. And then transferred to a column for feeding.

Late feeding

Key points of management

After 1 month feeding, chickens should pay attention to the following points:

Hello. Feed can be gradually transferred from ingredients to corn, wheat, rice and so on. Farmers with better conditions can use pellet feed, generally once every morning after 10, once after 3 pm, and once again before going to bed.

Water supply. Do not stop the water supply during the whole feeding period. Regular observation, found that the spirit, appetite, feces abnormalities, should take measures as soon as possible.

It is necessary to eliminate sick and dead chickens in time to prevent enemies such as rats, eagles, snakes and weasels.

Feeding time

Improper feeding period of chickens directly affects the meat taste and breeding benefits of chickens. The feeding cycle is too short, the meat is too tender and the flavor is poor, which affects sales and prices; If the feeding cycle is too long, the feed reward will be reduced, the risk will be greatly increased, and it is easy to waste resources such as labor and venues, increase feeding costs and reduce benefits. Generally, the weight is 2 ~ 2.5 kg, and it can be listed in more than 90 days. Farmers can also make reasonable arrangements according to specific market conditions.

Feed quota

The benefit of raising native chickens is related to the moderate scale of raising. Generally, it is appropriate to take each batch of 1000 ~ 1500 chickens as a full-time worker. Don't exceed 3000 if the car is in good condition. It is better to release more, disperse farming and avoid super-scale contiguous farming. This is conducive to feeding management, epidemic prevention and control, reducing risks, increasing benefits and steady development.
