How to build a chicken farm

The official authorities of our country urge citizens to open their own business and thus develop small and medium-sized businesses. It’s time to remember that from time immemorial in Russia in every peasant's yard kept a certain number of birds. Geese, chickens, ducks were held in high esteem: an egg and meat could be eaten by those who wanted to sell it. And turkey breeding in some areas was more profitable than pig farming.

Instruction manual

1

When organizing a poultry farm, several important points must be taken into account. A poultry farm can be registered as a farm or limited liability company. It is best to organize production in the country, and points of sale, on the contrary - in the city, in any market.

2

Organize a place near the house that is suitable for bird walking, best on the south side of the site. In summer and spring, grass will become an additional source of nutrition. In addition, ducks need a small pond - keep this in mind too.

3

Before purchasing young animals, first equip a room suitable for keeping birds. Any spacious room is suitable - a house or a large barn. Most importantly, protect the birds from drafts, which are extremely dangerous to their health. If an old building is used under the house, be sure to strengthen the foundation so that rodents, cats and dogs do not climb inside.

4

One bird should have at least 1 sq.m. In closer conditions, egg production can significantly decrease.

5

Ensure that the temperature in the house is optimal for the life of birds: for chickens - not lower and not higher than + 25-27 ° С. In the summer, an air purifier or fan should work in the house. Note that for geese the temperature should be much lower. As for the incubator, the temperature there should be adjustable. Raise it along the sea of ​​young growth.

6

Buy feeders, drinking bowls, nests and incubators. However, if you wish, all the equipment can be done with your own hands, including an ash box for bathing chickens (a box filled with ash).

7

Take care of the illumination of the house - in winter it will be very handy, since egg production decreases significantly with a decrease in daylight hours. Use fluorescent fluorescent lamps. Note - too bright light is no less harmful than lack of light.

8

Drinking bowls and feeders should not be located directly on the ground, it is better to strengthen them at a low height. Keep them clean. Lay the straw on the floor, as it is easier to clean with litter. Set the sockets on a certain elevation and in a dark place.

9

Start with a livestock of 400-700 goals. About 2 thousand dollars will be needed to purchase young animals and equip the house. Poultry prices vary in different regions: for one goose you will have to pay 70-90 rubles, for a duck - 30-60 rubles, for a turkey - 70-90 rubles.

10

Get bird food from factories or professional farms. In summer, birds can additionally eat pasture. Ducks, if there is a pond, can feed on plankton and insects.

eleven

The poultry farm, in addition to meat and eggs, will produce fluff, feather and litter. The latter can be sold to gardeners and gardeners. However, for the sale of litter, you must have a certificate of the appropriate sample.

12

If you plan regular deliveries of eggs to stores, take care of suitable packaging. In any city there is a printing company specializing in the manufacture of cardboard packaging, with which you can conclude a cooperation agreement.

note

Before you start trading, get a veterinary certificate on the welfare of the economy and a certificate of product quality.
