1. Some farmers in rural areas have a small number of chickens. For convenience, they keep chickens with waterfowl such as ducks and geese. This kind of farming is taboo for rural farmers. First, the main reason is that ducks and geese are water-based birds, which are easily affected by the growth environment of wet chickens. However, chickens prefer dry places, which will make chickens live in an unsuitable environment and easily lead to chicken disease.
2. Second, ducks and geese are large and will compete with chickens for places to live. And chickens cry less than ducks and geese. Chickens stay quiet most of the time. Ducks and geese like to shout. Chicken long-term shock will lose appetite, dare not compete with ducks and geese for feed, affecting the healthy growth of chickens and egg production rate. Therefore, rural free-range farmers must avoid mixing poultry to avoid economic losses.
3, for some larger farmers, when raising chickens, it is necessary to unify the uniform of the breeder. When groups of chickens are faced with breeders of the same color for a long time, they develop a strong affinity for that color. In this case, when the breeder feeds the chickens, it will not cause irritability and fear of the chickens. Every time I see this color,
The chicken will know that its food is coming, and it will generate excitement, increase appetite, and thus accelerate the growth rate of the chicken. On the contrary, if the uniform color of the breeder is not uniform, every time the breeder feeds the chickens, the chickens will be restless, and even lose their appetite because they are frightened, resulting in a situation of not receiving and not eating, thus inhibiting the growth rate of the chickens.
And large-scale breeders must be careful not to vaccinate chickens at the peak of egg production, because during the laying period, the body function of chickens will be changed to a certain extent. If the chicken is vaccinated at this time, it will cause the self-regulation disorder of the chicken, resulting in a decrease in the egg production rate of the chicken, or even the inability to lay eggs. When vaccinating chickens, it's best to avoid the laying period,
It is best to fully vaccinate chickens while they are still alive. Moreover, when the chicken is in the laying period, it is necessary to avoid producing large noises and give the chicken a quiet environment, so that the chicken will not be frightened, and the frightened chicken will reduce the egg production rate or even not lay eggs.
