The chicken coop is one of the important equipment for raising poultry. It can not only provide a safe living environment, but also allow the chickens to have a warm home. However, the price of chicken coops on the market is relatively high, and many people will choose to make them by themselves. Today we will introduce the homemade method of chicken coops, hoping to help everyone.
Material preparation:
1. Steel pipe
2. Barbed wire
3. Galvanized iron sheet
4. Wooden planks
5. Electric drill
6. Pliers, hammer, ruler and other tools
Production steps:
1. According to the required chicken cage size and style, select the appropriate steel pipe for cutting. Generally speaking, the height of the chicken cage should be about 1.5 meters, and the width and length should be adjusted as needed.
2. Connect the cut steel pipes with barbed wire, and pay attention to leave some gaps at both ends of the steel pipes to facilitate subsequent installation.
3. Lay a layer of galvanized iron sheet on the bottom of the chicken cage to prevent the chickens from digging the ground.
4. Add a wooden board on the top of the chicken coop as a sunshade, which can avoid direct sunlight and protect the health of the chickens.
5. Add an opening on the side of the coop to make it easier for the chickens to get in and out of the coop. You can use an electric drill to drill holes in the opening, then cut the barbed wire with pliers, and then fix the barbed wire on the steel pipe with iron wire.
6. Set up drinking fountains and feeders inside the chicken coop to facilitate the eating and drinking of the chickens.
7. Finally, place the chicken coop on a flat ground, and fix the chicken coop around with wooden boards or stones to prevent the chicken coop from being blown down in windy and rainy weather.
After the production is completed, we can put the chickens in the chicken coop, so that they can grow up healthily in this warm home. At the same time, we also need to clean and disinfect the chicken cages regularly to ensure the health and safety of the chickens.
In short, although homemade chicken coops require some technology and time, it can give us a better understanding of the lives and needs of chickens. I hope that everyone can pay attention to safety in the process of making chicken coops, and be as meticulous and patient as possible to create a warm home.
