1. Selection and construction of houses
The chicken breeds of free-range chickens are generally native chickens, because native chickens have high market demand, strong growth ability and strong disease resistance. After selecting the chicken breed, we have to do a good job in the construction of the chicken house. The chicken house should be built in a place with convenient transportation, leeward wind, sufficient light and normal drainage and irrigation. This kind of place is not only conducive to the growth of chickens, but also facilitates the breeding work. The chicken house should do a good job in the planning of restrooms and playgrounds. Then prepare chicken drinker, chicken feeder and temperature control facilities, reasonably control the breeding environment, and promote the growth of chickens.

2. Chick rearing
Two months after hatching is the chick period of the chicken. At this time, the chicken is relatively fragile, and the survival rate in the first ten days is low. Chicks have strict temperature requirements, so we must first control the temperature. Chicks' temperature needs change with age. In the first three days, the temperature needs to be controlled at about 35 degrees, and then lowered by about one degree every three days, until the temperature is stabilized at about 25 degrees in about one month. Then it is necessary to strengthen the management of the chicks, control the breeding density according to the age, and do a good job of light control. Within one month, day and night light should be maintained, and the daily light time can be appropriately reduced after one month.

3. Breeding of young chickens
Young chickens are the time when chickens grow most rapidly, and this period is within three months after the brooding period. Usually at 4 months, its body size has gradually approached that of an adult chicken. The young chickens generally need to be fed in the house, and the chicken drinker and chicken feeder should be prepared in the house, and then the roof of the house should be sloped to prevent rain and water leakage. When feeding young chickens, the male and female should be kept separately to prevent dominance. Control the daily feeding time according to the age of the month, usually 2-3 months old chickens need to be fed about three times a day. Then it can be reduced once after 3 months. If it is a breeder chicken, then do not feed too much each time to avoid eating too much, which will delay the egg production period and affect egg production.
4. Disease prevention and treatment
Common diseases in free-range chickens include colibacillosis and trichomoniasis. These diseases are very harmful to the growth of chickens, which will greatly increase the mortality of chickens and affect the breeding efficiency. We must do a good job in the sanitation of the chicken coop, regularly remove chicken manure every day, strengthen management, regularly disinfect the chicken coop, and do a good job of ventilation. Then pay attention not to feed deteriorating feed and drinking water, and control the breeding density. Always observe the growth of the chickens. When any abnormalities are found, they should be isolated in time, check the specific conditions, and then treat the symptoms.

This professional article focuses on poultry feeder pans, explaining why high-quality feeder pans are vital to efficient poultry feeder systems. It analyzes the defects of traditional feeding tools, introduces the core advantages of standard feeder pans in saving feed, maintaining feed hygiene and adapting to diverse feeding scenarios, and shares practical standards for feeder pan selection and daily maintenance skills. Upgrading feeder pans helps poultry farmers optimize feed utilization, reduce feed waste and improve overall farm breeding profits.
This article introduces feeder pans as essential poultry feeder equipment, focusing on solving traditional feeding pain points such as feed waste, uneven feed distribution and feed contamination. It details the working principle, core advantages (feed-saving, uniform feeding, clean feed, labor-saving) of feeder pans, as well as their applicable scenarios and practical tips for selection and use. Suitable for small, medium and large poultry farms, feeder pans optimize feed management, improve flock health and enhance farm profitability, becoming a key part of modern poultry feeding systems.
This article introduces nipple drinkers as essential poultry water equipment for modern poultry farms, aiming to solve the pain points of traditional watering methods (water waste, pollution, heavy labor). It details the working principle, core advantages (water-saving, hygienic, labor-saving) of nipple drinkers, as well as their applicable scenarios and practical tips for selection and installation. Suitable for small, medium and large poultry farms, nipple drinkers can optimize the water supply mode, improve flock health and breeding efficiency, and become a mainstream choice for scientific breeding.
This article serves as a comprehensive guide to selecting poultry water and feed equipment for small, medium, and large-scale farms. It provides detailed descriptions of poultry drinkers, feeders, and barrels, tailored to different farm sizes—from simple, cost-effective nipple drinkers and plastic feed barrels for small flocks (50 to 500 birds), to semi-automated systems with stainless steel drinkers and sealed feed barrels for medium farms (500 to 5,000 birds), and fully automated high-capacity drinkers, feeders, and backup barrels for large intensive farms (5,000+ birds). Additionally, it offers key tips on prioritizing quality, matching equipment to flock size, and reducing waste to help farmers make informed choices that boost efficiency and profitability.
