Chicken coop structure and basic requirements

1. Chicken coop length: The length of a chicken coop depends on the number of chickens transferred to the coop, the level of mechanization, and the quality of equipment, generally ranging from 40 to 100 meters.

2. Chicken coop span: The span of a standardized chicken coop depends on the number of columns in the coop, usually 8 meters (2 columns), 11 meters (3 columns), and 14 meters (4 columns).

3. Chicken coop height: The height of a chicken coop should be determined based on the feeding method, fecal cleaning method, span, and climate conditions, and is generally recommended to have a eaves height of 2.5-3 meters.

4. Rooftop of chicken coop: The roof of the chicken coop should have strong waterproof, thermal insulation, and load-bearing capacity.

5. Chicken House Wall: The wall is the enclosure structure of the chicken house, which is required to be protected from external wind and rain, with good thermal insulation. The inner and outer walls are painted with cement to facilitate moisture-proof and flushing.

6. Chicken coop floor: The chicken coop floor should be higher than the outside surface and flat, with a certain slope at the bottom of the septic tank for flushing and disinfection.

7. Chicken coop doors and windows: The width of the chicken coop door is subject to the smooth entry and exit of all facilities and work vehicles. Generally, a single door is 2 meters high and 1.6 meters wide, and a double door is 2 meters high and 1.4 meters wide. For an open chicken coop, the size of the windows should take into account the lighting coefficient and ventilation of the coop. Generally, the window area should not be less than 1/8 of the coop area.

8. Chicken coop passage: The passage in the chicken coop is a place where breeders work and observe the chicken flock every day, with a recommended distance of 0.9-1.1 meters.

9. The distance between chicken coops should be at least 10 meters

Disadvantages of enclosed chicken coops:

(1) High requirements for building standards and numerous ancillary equipment.

(2) Due to the lack of sunlight and contact with soil, chicken flocks must be provided with full feed to ensure that their bodies receive comprehensive nutrients; Otherwise, certain nutritional deficiency diseases may occur in the chicken flock.

(3) Due to the reliance on electricity for ventilation, lighting, feeding, drinking water, etc., reliable power sources must be available; Otherwise, in the event of a power outage, bidding farewell to the hot summer will have a serious impact on chicken farming production.

(4) Due to limitations in chicken body activity and reduced heat dissipation during cold seasons, feed returns have increased;

(5) The enclosed chicken coop adopts mechanical ventilation and artificial lighting, and the spacing between chicken coops can be greatly reduced, thereby reducing the area occupied by the chicken coop.

Precautions of battery chicken cage system

If the stocking density exceeds the number of chicken cages, it will restrict the activities of the chickens and affect the growth and development. Moreover, too many numbers will also affect the air quality of the chicken coops and the service life of the chicken coops, and may also cause the chickens to become stronger. Bullying, pecking and other phenomena occur, so farmers should make reasonable adjustments in time according to the growth stage of the flock.
