Cells for cleaners do it yourself

The maintenance of poultry is perfect for its diverseness. In other words, animals are rather unpretentious, and in order to create comfortable living conditions, various rooms can be used. The presence of special cells for chickens allows you to contain birds without restrictions. Make cells for chickens do not make much difficulty even for those who have not come across serious construction work.

Cells for chicken hens

Even if you have a small quadrature for keeping poultry, it will not be a big problem. So, on one square meter, 1-2 chickens of various sizes can safely. However, the main criterion of the birds of resettlement of the bird is, above all, the degree of comfort of chickens. If you notice that they behave too noisy, "conflicts" arise, and animals feel too closely, it is worth thinking about the construction of additional "apartments". Otherwise, the weakest individuals may simply be stigma stronger. From how densely disarmed chickens, an egg production directly depends. If your chickens do not want to rush, think, and not too close?

Cells for chicken content are different depending on the purpose of the bird. For example, for broiler chickens need special cells that will take into account and ensure due living conditions. For chicken, the nurses need their own houses, the device of which will make it easy to get eggs.

General recommendations

For the manufacture of cells for chickens of nonaxes is best suitable for a metal mesh. The frame can be made of wooden storage rooms - purchased or residual from the construction of the house. First, it is necessary to determine the dimensions of the future cell, based on the number of future "residents".

In the cells for the chicken, you can not work to install special jersoes or petrolers, because these unpretentious birds feel great and on the usual floor. By the way, novice owners of chickens will be useful to know that eggs should be collected as often as possible, otherwise the chickens can bounce them.

The feeder and the drinking bowl are fixed on the outside of the cells so that the chickens are not scattered in the cell, and it was as clean as possible. In addition, clean and fill the tanks will be much more convenient.

In the drawing cell for the chickens, the location of the feeder and the overall construction of the structure are shown in detail.

• pallet for garbage and litter.

Guided by this drawing, you can easily build a cell for chickens in just a few hours!

Egg production

The level of egg production depends on how well they live comfortably. There is a list of basic conditions that need to be remembered when the kelp content.

Egg production depends on the following factors:

1. The absence of drafts - in the cage and in the nest should never be drafts, whether it is winter or hot summer.
2. Procurability - it is not necessary to allow the chicken to postpone the eggs in an open place, so it is necessary to provide it with "intimate" conditions for the most fruitful egg production. Instinctively birds are looking for the most secluded place to predators do not get to their offspring. If you want to regularly receive many eggs - provide appropriate conditions. For this, the grid is not recommended to do with too large cells. It is better to put one or two deaf walls and create darkened secluded corners.
3. Privacy - provide conditions under which the zepers will be separated from each other. In other words, put partitions between the daisies so that the birds feel safe and comfort.
4. Comfortable floors - do not make the floor from a large grid (or from any other grid). Firstly, such a coating is extremely difficult to clean from garbage and litter, secondly, the legs of the chicken can get stuck between the rods and damage. Do not risk - Emit a floor with a metal sheet or wooden boards. Aluminum demonstrates excellent operational and anti-corrosion qualities, however, the tree gives extra warmth, even if not so durable.

Construction of cells

Tools and materials:

• metal wire with a thickness of 2-3 mm (can be replaced with a ready-made mesh with cells of 15x15 mm);
• corner with shelves 20x30 mm;
• welding machine (if the wire is used, and not a ready-made grid);
• slate, plywood either OSB-stove;
• boards;
• nails.

Comment: Using the wire will save some money, but takes away much more time than the installation of cells for the bird from the finished grid. If you can afford to spend on building materials a little more money and smoke with a lattice, then you can collect a chicken cage per hour.

Progress:

1. Spot welding welding wire segments so that the cells are 15x15 mm in size. Before this, it is advisable to make marker marker. To save time, you can cook through 2-3 cells. Chicken - Bird is not too strong and does not break even such a grid.
2. From each angle of the finished grid, leave 25-30 mm for fixing the corner. So you designate the future frame to enhance the design.
3. Roof make from plywood, osb or slate - on your choice. The main thing is that the material does not miss the light and created a cozy secluded atmosphere for non-bumps.
4. Build a frame from the boards and bring the grid to it.
5. The floor is better to do, either booty (the benefits of the board are described slightly above). Make the floor of 1x1 m for two chickens or 45x45 cm - for one individual.
6. Walls with floor can be copped with wire to save time and strength.

Roll wire 1000 meters long enough to make about 50 nests. When buying a finished grid, the cost of one nest will increase a couple of hundred rubles, but it is not difficult to collect it.

If you have a lot of free space, you can build a real "palace" with all the amenities. In such a house, the chicken will feel as comfortable as possible, in the afternoon walking around the sun and breathe fresh air, and at night resting in a cozy room. In addition, the wagging of the Valler will allow the birds to expand their diet, looking for bugs and worms in the ground.

Useful advice: If you are afraid that in such a free enclosure, your birds will attack the parasites, sprinkle the ground with a small amount of wood ash. This is a natural remedy for lice and fleas, in which the chickens will be happy to lie, independently conducting sanitary processing.

Cells for broiler chickens

The content of broiler chickens is entirely different from the conditions that the lacking crims require. If to obtain a large number of eggs it is necessary to ensure heat, darkness and pricing, then the broiler bird, on the contrary, needs a light house.

Recommendations for building broiler cells:

1. Broiler chickens are grown on closer conditions, placing 1 square meter to 2-4 individuals. The main task is to raise the rapter and increasing meat, so hembler does not necessarily do a lot of space.
2. Since the number of individuals per square meter increases several times, the cell for broiler chickens should be more durable. The design does not prevent additional dots during welding if you independently make the grid. If, in the case of nurses, it was possible to do with a thickness of 15 mm thick, then in this situation it is better to use a thickness of at least 20 mm. With high-quality nutrition and rapid growth, the weight of one broiler can reach 5 kg. If there are 4 such chicken in the cell, the load on the floor will be about 20 kg.
3. The grid for the construction of the cell is better to choose with large cells with a wall from 40 to 70 mm, especially if the individual is already big and will not be able to escape. The cost of such lattices is much lower than to arrange cells of non-shell cells.
4. The roof material may be any, the main thing is that it does not miss moisture and was securely fixed on the design.

Equipment cells

When you built a chicken cage, you need to equip it with everything necessary. For chucks, it is possible to throw onto the floor of the hay, and they themselves will co-worn. As for drinking and feeders, it's not so simple here.

Recommendations for cell equipment:

1. Drinking tank can be made from a conventional plastic bottle with nipple at the end. The level of nipple should be slightly lower than the location of the bird's head, so that it can be comfortable to drink.
2. It is desirable that the volume of the tank is about 4-5 liters. Then you can safely leave the birds for a few days without worrying about their comfort.
3. At the place of fixation of the driver, it is necessary to ensure the increase in the design of the cell, since the grid as a result of the regular load will progress.
4. The feeders must be installed in such a way that the ¼ part is inside the cell, and the rest is outside. So you can clean it at any time and fill with a new feed;
5. The easiest way to make a bark feeder from a plastic pipe with a diameter of 300 mm. Split it along and make fastenings along the entire length.
