How to simply keep the chickens warm at home?

Prepare a carton with several layers of newspapers in it, and then hang a 25-watt yellow light bulb on the top of the carton to keep the chicken warm. Generally speaking, it takes about a week to keep the chicken warm. If the weather is very cold, extend the heat preservation time appropriately. Prepare a small plate to feed the chickens. Wash dishes once a day and keep them clean.

Adjust the appropriate temperature and humidity to improve the survival rate of chicks. Chickens are small, delicate, with short villi, low heat preservation ability and imperfect thermoregulation function, and they are fully developed at 3 ~ 4 weeks old. Therefore, it is the key to improve the survival rate of chickens to do a good job of cold protection and heat preservation and adjust the appropriate temperature and humidity.

Extended data:

1, poor cold resistance. The temperature of newly hatched chicks is 3℃ lower than that of adult chicks, and it takes 10 days to reach the normal temperature. In addition, chicks' villi are short and thin, so they can't keep out the cold, so their adaptability to the environment is not strong, and they must rely on artificial heat preservation to grow and develop normally. 1-30-day-old chickens should be kept warm and placed in a clean and hygienic environment. Chickens over 30 days old are basically full of feathers and can keep warm.

2. High body temperature and rapid development. Generally, the body temperature of chickens is between 40.8-4 1.5℃, so they must be raised in a well-ventilated environment, which is warm in winter and cool in summer. In addition, chicken has short digestive tract, vigorous metabolism and rapid growth and development, so it must be fed with nutritious and digestible feed to meet the needs.

3. Weak resistance. Chickens, in particular, are vulnerable to harmful microorganisms. Therefore, in addition to cleaning the environment, we must also take precautions. For example, outsiders are strictly prohibited from entering and leaving the henhouse, the environment and cages should be disinfected, and all kinds of chickens should be injected with various vaccines regularly.

4, easy to be surprised. Chickens are timid, especially chicks, and are easily frightened. Light people are crowded and their growth and development are blocked, while heavy people trample on each other, resulting in disability and death. So chickens should be kept in quiet places. Rough management, sudden noise, the intrusion and capture of cats and dogs will all lead to riots and affect the growth of chickens.
