Welcome dear reader of MSHINDO MEDIA , today I would like to bring you a lesson on how to raise chickens, so stay with us to learn more.
And we will start with how to build a chicken house, so if you want to build a chicken house, you must consider the following.
The chick house should be built close to the caretaker’s house, this is to be able to be closer for more supervision.
The house should be built 20 steps or more away from the hen house to reduce the spread of disease.
The chicken house should not allow moisture, cold, or animals or insects to enter, but it must have sufficient light.
The chick house should also be sufficiently open to allow the chicks to move freely and not crowd together.
Also, an area should be built that does not allow wind from the chicken coop to enter. This will reduce the spread of diseases.

Size : Chicks do not need a large area in the first 4 weeks, as a good estimate one square meter takes 16 chicks, and after the first 4 weeks you need to increase the area to give them more space.

The bottom 3-4 feet must be covered with a wall and the top 3-4 feet must be covered with metal mesh or poles according to your ability. A wall built with bricks must be plastered.
