Previously we had to prepare and place the cage in advance for more details, let us refer to - the following:Breeders have to accustom themselves to buy quality chicks as necessary. Create laying hens, buy chicks that have been selected female sex. Create try to select the type of race Leghorn or Rhode Island Red or other chickens who fall into the category of a superior laying hens. Create broilers or broiler, so cheaper to buy, choose the chicks who have sex selected. To choose the type of race Plymouth Rock or broiler that is worth selling the other.If the chicks were purchased from chicken farms, have all been vaccinated against Marek's disease. Vaccination is best carried out immediately after the chicks alleviated so that all his life could prevent chicken against Marek's disease very deadly.Second-hand goods in the form of a large wooden box can be made as a cage chicks. Make a hole for inserting cables lamp by his side. 60 Watt lamp in the cage will provide enough heat to the chicks and in general they will find yourself the most comfortable position.arranged so that light does not touch the cage created to avoid the possibility of fire. As a base or tray (litter) in the enclosure can be used leather grain or grain strowbur (plastic foam) which was new with a thickness between 10 to 15 cm. Good cage for chicks is when the temperature on the outer side of the bottom enclosure ranging from 30 to 32ºC.A board or woven wire as high as approximately 60 cm from the bottom of the cage is installed as a barrier chicks from heat sources. Ventilation cage is a very important in determining the high and low temperature inside the enclosure. Some ventilation should be provided cover.In the rainy season, the entire ventilation facing the incoming wind direction, especially near the floor should be closed. Whereas in the dry season, open the vents wide open so that fresh air as much as possible.The use of the fan fan must be avoided because it could trigger a chicken becomes sick. Besides the stress disease, chickens are in places that are too hot due to poor ventilation system, will not want to eat or drink normally. As a result, the chicken will be disabled and for laying hens will not grow well or dwarf.Cages should be safe from cats, rats and other predators. Also check if the roof does not leak when it rains. Before chicks arrive, you must be convinced that you have been prepared to accept. Cage and all the equipment has been cleaned and fumigated.And should the job was done a few days before the chicks arrive so that the cage is really already dry when the chicks arrive.
