How to make clouder for chickens

How to make clouder for chickens

If you plan to explore poultry, in particular chickens, should be foreseen in advance where the chicks will be contained from the first days of life. Having made a suitable box or a rack, called Bruner, it is quite realistic to provide the necessary heating and care for them. Picks placed in it will gain strength, and grow up in fairly comfortable conditions. A similar design for growing chickens can be made independently in the presence of minimal carpentry skills.

What is browner

In the last days of the reservoir of the birds from eggs in the incubator or before buying one-day chicks, the question arises where to post them for further cultivation. There are still rapid chickens to be kept in dryness and heat - thus, it will be necessary to provide them with the temperature regime without drafts.

The name of the structure for growing chickens "Brueder" is like a word Brood that translated from English means "zealous" - thus, this device in the form of a specially equipped drawer for chicks is intended to replace them with mom. Bruner is a small design - "House" for chickens in the first few weeks of their existence.

For their content in Brueder it is necessary to ensure suitable conditions:

  • not sliding and always dry floor, otherwise chicks can get sick. It is desirable to equip bruner with a retractable pallet to collect the litter, allowing to maintain cleanliness without unnecessary effort;
  • the absence of high humidity, as well as the presence of ventilation without drafts;
  • a source of moderate heating - it is desirable that the chickens do not have direct access to it. It should be noted that for chickens of chickens in the first days of life the optimal temperature is about 35 ° C, after a few days it can be reduced to 30.

The sizes of brooders for chickens can be different. For example, the design with the dimensions of the bottom 100 x 50 cm and a 50 cm high easily accommodates about 50 chickens, slightly less broilers. In addition to them, in Brueder you can stir ducklings, gesyat, as well as quail chicks. In the presence of the need, in the future it will be possible to build an additional clouder (or several) and put boxes on each other. Similarly, in one room you can place a significant number of chicks.

Varieties of Bruderov

Making a solid and easy-to-use structure from the primary materials, providing the most suitable conditions for placing chickens, quite real. To do this, you can use quite affordable materials. Perhaps you have an old bedside table or wooden boxes. In the manufacture of a brudeer for growing chickens, special equipment will not need, suitable tools are, perhaps, each home master.

If you are interested in the question, how to make a broaster for chickens, it is worth considering the following information:

  • experienced poultry farms are noted that the designs for the content of chicks from OSB plates are difficult to quiet, since this material is distinguished by an uneven, a rough surface;
  • to a greater extent, it is suitable for the manufacture of Brudera Plywood - it is smooth, it is comfortable to wash and disinfect, wiping with alcohol. Nevertheless, it is worth considering that this material is distinguished by a noticeable fragility and can get sorrow under weight. Therefore, making several brooders from thin plywood, they are unlikely to be able to install each other four tiers, it will be necessary to build a special framework. The sheets of plywood with a large thickness are distinguished by a significant cost, the manufacture of such a design can do without hasty;
  • constructions made of polymeric materials like polycarbonate is easy to wash and disinfect. Nevertheless, it is worth noting that the polycarbonate is practically not breathing, therefore, it will be very difficult to ensure the optimal mode of temperature and humidity within a similar design.

The sale presents various structures for the establishment of small chicks - you can buy broodes for chickens with a housing from pressed foam plastic, moisture-resistant plywood, as well as warmed by sandwichel-panels of the model.

Than you can temporarily replace brud

Some hosts for the placement of small chickens are used by various simple devices like the houses equipped with a plastic container, an unnecessary chest, racks, and even multi-layer cardboard boxes. Sometimes the idea of \u200b\u200bthe need to use Bruner occurs when the chickens are already on their hands. While a more solid construction is constructed, to accommodate a small amount of chicks, you can use a spacious box from under household appliances. It should be noted that it will be needed to be insulated and not moving with a sliding, checking it with several layers of gauze or corrugated cardon. In the wall of the box at a convenient height, it is necessary to cut through the viewing window and tighten it with a transparent polyethylene film - there will be conveniently peeled, without opening the box at once.

Homemade heater for the chicks can be collected independently in the short term from liter cans with screw metal cover. Small ceramic cartridge need to fix on the inner surface of the cover bolting. Between them it is desirable to place the non-combustible gasket (e.g., PCB). The cover should be about ten to drill holes to provide ventilation inside the can. Approximately one third of the banks need to fill in fine sand. The Bank will need to wrap the bottom cloth (you can put on her thick socks) to the chicks are not fired. Lifting and lowering the tissue, it will be convenient to adjust the level of illumination in the box. It is worth considering that the amount of heat emitted according to the adaptation will depend on the power used by the lamp. If there is a large box may be required to put in her two mini-heater. The older chicks will become, the less they will need heating.

For arranging such a "house chicken" from the carton does not require special financial costs, it can be built quickly and put in any room, including the living room. It's worth noting that after the settlement of cardboard chicks wear out quickly, to the same in a similar way is difficult to achieve the optimum temperature required for the maintenance of small chickens.

How to make a brooder for chicks on their own

To make at home reliable construction, which can use more than one season, a strong need to build a carcass frame made of wooden planks and bars and then attaching the OSB boards or plywood sheets. These materials are qualitatively warm up, so it is suitable for the construction of the brooder, which is necessary to ensure dryness and heat. The Internet can be accessed with different schemes and drawings for brooding chicks.

36

In the process of manufacturing the brooder may need these materials, tools and accessories:

  • electric saw or jig saw;
  • hammer, wire cutters, pliers, hacksaw;
  • tape measure, a pencil;
  • drill;
  • screws, nails, furniture hinges, latches;
  • plaster mesh for covering doors;
  • galvanized steel grid with small cells (about 1 cm) - the segment size 1x0,5 m;
  • infrared or incandescent lamp 40-60 W, sockets, plugs, reflector;
  • dimmer (dimmer), the segment cable of a suitable length.

In addition, it is necessary to cook a sheet of moisture resistant plywood 1.5 x 1.5 m thick 1-2 cm, wooden bars or rails, as well as metal corners. To avoid cracking plywood when fixing it on self-drawing, it is recommended to drill small holes in it before the start of the assembly.

Stages of work execution

The sequence of actions for the manufacture of a brower for chickens will look like this:

  1. First, it will be necessary with the help of an electric bike or sawing from the sheet of plywood 0.5x1.5 m. It must be cut into three equal parts of 0.5x0.5 m (two of them will be used as sidewalls). The remaining part of the plywood should be divided into three parts with dimensions of 1x0.5 m. As a result of the proceedings, we will get the items that will serve as the top and the rear wall of the design, as well as the bottom of the retractable pallet.
  2. Next, it will be necessary to make the top and rear wall of the future drawer with sides. To facilitate the assembly process, it is first possible to build a suitable form of a frame of wooden rivers or a metal profile segments. 34
  3. Let's start making a pallet. To do this, it will be necessary to assemble a frame from wooden plates with such dimensions so that it is easy to enter the bottom of the design (approximately 97x48 cm). Next, you should be adjusted under the dimensions of the framework of the remaining piece of plywood and attach it to it with nails. In the future, the pallet will need to be melted with a glue to simplify the cleaning of the accumulated litter on it.
  4. Next, it will be necessary on the side walls to fasten the guide strips on which the pallet and the bottom of the Brudera will be held, which will move the chickens. After that, it can be installed inside the pallet.
  5. Next, we make a frame for the bottom of the Bruder, and then attach a metal grid to it. For newborn chickens in the first days on the bottom of the Bruder, it is recommended to lay newspapers or fabric.
  6. In the middle of the front of the Bruder, the vertically wooden bar should be consolidated. After that, we will proceed to assembling the doors from the rivers with suitable dimensions for dense closing. For the manufacture of the door design, you will need to collect the framework of the frame and attach a plaster grid to it. 49
  7. We fix on the sides of the loop and fix the doors on them, install the door junk or a restrictor from a wooden bar on the front bar of the BRUER.
  8. In the ceiling part of the design, the hole for the cable drills, we draw it inside and secure the cartridge on it. From the outside of the box, fix the light controller (dimmer), as well as the plug.
  9. On the back wall, it will be necessary to provide a place for mounting the thermometer so that it is convenient to track the temperature regime inside the design.
  10. After that, it will be necessary to install a light bulb in the cartridge. It is recommended to choose a lamp with a light reflector - this design allows you to equip areas in brower with different degrees of warming up, in which case the chickens will be able to be collected under the reflector, if they frozen, and move away from it at another time.
  11. We install the drivingler and feeder brudere inside.
  12. If desired, this design can be painted on top.

Next, it remains to be placed in the broaster chickens. Such a design will significantly simplify the care of chicks. By collecting the appropriate frame and producing two or three bruderes of suitable dimensions, they can be installed on it, having received a suitable place to accommodate chickens of different ages.
