Good news for today, dear readers and followers of our blog, today we will look at how to raise chickens.
The steps are the various stages of preparation and reception of chicks.
A chicken coop is the first thing for any farmer. A chicken coop can be built with bricks, wood, or even trees and mud.

The chicken coop should be clean at all times.
1. Characteristics of a chicken coop
Let in enough light.
There should be no room for dangerous insects and even animals to pass through.
Be close to the rancher’s residence
Its floor should not have many holes (it should be well-paved in different ways)
The coop should be large enough to accommodate the number of chicks (2 by 3 meters).
Inside the shed, there are small boxes for keeping chicks. The boxes keep the heat in and under these boxes or blocks, there are corn or rice husks to increase the heat.
2. Prepare the dishes
Containers for water and food. You can buy containers and use regular household dishes. For water, place small, clean stones in the containers so that the chicks do not splash too much water or get wet with it.

3. Prepare a candle or bulb.
Lamps are used to increase the temperature in a box or chick nursery. Lamps are placed inside the box. Large breeders use bulbs in their sheds. The temperature in the chicks should be increased during the night and the day should be normal.
4. Understand the schedule and vaccinations for chicks as appropriate.
