2 CHICKENS 101 INTRODUCTORY COURSE HOUSING AND PREDATOR CONTROL
3 THE BASICS: HOUSING 1 3
4 THE BASICS: HOUSING 1 Protect from rain and cold when first outside. After about three weeks, chickens can tolerate cold or rain, but not at same time. Need to provide some sort of shade. After 3-5 weeks in brooder move to chicken house. 4
5 THE BASICS: HOUSING Before You Build Check your ordinance requirements Type Dimensions Setback Building options Build new Acquire and refurbish Buy kit and assemble Buy finished unit
6 THE BASICS: HOUSING
7 THE BASICS: HOUSING Confinement Systems Advantages Build to your specs Plans readily available Used in urban areas Disadvantages Ground can become barren Not made for a large amount of poultry
8 THE BASICS: HOUSING Chicken Tractors Bottomless, portable shelter-pen that fits over garden beds Many designs available Mostly commonly used with fruit and vegetable production Popular among sustainable production enthusiasts
9 THE BASICS: HOUSING Chicken Tractor Advantages Can be moved very easily Insect control Source of fertilizer Used in urban areas Disadvantages Ground can become barren Semi-labor intensive Not made for a large amount of poultry
10 THE BASICS: HOUSING
11 THE BASICS: HOUSING
12 THE BASICS: HOUSING
13 THE BASICS: HOUSING
14 THE BASICS: HOUSING
15 THE BASICS: HOUSING WATERS Watering Systems Five-gallon bucket atop the pen will gravity feed a bell type Mesh screen across top Attach to pen Hoses are used on nipple type Daily water consumption at 90 o F for chickens. approx. 0.5 pint/bird Water intake can vary greatly
16 THE BASICS: HOUSING FEEDERS Feeders Hanging System Raise and lower to bird height Outer lip level with birds back Prevents spillage and spoilage Trough Feeder Systems Chickens more susceptible to disease Taken out of pen before moving More chickens can feed at once
17 THE BASICS: HOUSING
18 THE BASICS: HOUSING
19 THE BASICS: HOUSING & HEALTH Why have my hens stopped laying? Nutrition Completely balanced diet Out of feed or water Disease Vaccinate (esp. in confinement systems) Age Management Heat Overcrowding Light
20 THE BASICS: HOUSING & HEALTH Why have my hens stopped laying? A layer will produce an egg every 1-2 days Pullets start laying when they reach weeks First eggs will be small and on the floor Light hours (have a program) Decrease light hours for growing pullets Increase hours after they start laying with artificial lights (orange/red lights are best) to maintain hr day length
21 THE BASICS: HOUSING & HEALTH Lack of cleanliness is often a precursor to poultry disease. Preventive measure include: Complete cleaning & disinfecting of houses & equipment before starting chicks or housing layers Daily cleaning of waterers Screened manure pits under roosts Managing litter to keep it dry and clean Spreading of accumulated manure and litter under soil away from areas used by chickens. Compost before use as garden fertilizer.
22 THE BASICS: PREDATOR CONTROL The goal is to balance safety with freedom for the chickens to provide them with every opportunity to exercise their free will and natural instincts. We also need to safeguard them in a way that respects and protects the wild animals we live among who are entitled to equal consideration. It is important to know the wildlife in your particular area.
23 THE BASICS: PREDATOR CONTROL Provide Protection From Common Predators: Raccoon Fox Hawk Opossum Owl Coyote Skunk Dog Snake Panther
24 THE BASICS: PREDATOR CONTROL
25 THE BASICS: PREDATOR CONTROL Housing Design
26 THE BASICS: PREDATOR CONTROL Housing Design
27 THE BASICS: PREDATOR CONTROL The most effective means of predator proofing is locking up chickens at night before twilight in a secure coop. Situating the coop in close proximity to the house not only discourages wild visitors but also allows for quick action if an invasion occurs. Many people install baby monitors and security cameras in their coops.
28 THE BASICS: FENCING A perimeter fence is needed to keep the chickens in a protected outdoor area during the day. Any fence has to be at least five feet high. Fences can be made from a variety of materials but durability is essential for long-term security. Woven wire fencing is best (two-inch gauge or less) because there are no welds to corrode and break. The fencing has to be buried underground at least a foot or folded outward on the ground for a foot and a half to deter burrowing predators. If the area adjacent has overhanging tree branches expect lightweight chickens to fly up to roam the tree tops.
29 THE BASICS: WING CLIPPING TO PREVENT FLIGHT Use sharp shears to cut off the first ten flight feathers of one wing. Causes a bird to lack the balance needed for flight Lasts only until new feathers grow during the next molt Painless to your chicken!
30 THE BASICS: CHICKEN RUNS
