Chicken Livestock Systems (Part 1)

 Chickens are usually allowed to roam and sleep in trees or bushes. This way is easy because it requires little maintenance, but some problems may occur, for example, disruption of other animals such as dogs, cats, rats, and snakes may prey on childrenchicken or eggs. The eggs are collected they are also difficult because the chickens will lay eggs where they want. Chicken manure, which is a valuable fertilizer will be difficult to collect and disease could easily spread from one chicken to another chicken.
 Make a chicken coop to facilitate maintenance of chicken because it can collect them in one place so that feeding can be done with regular, children are still small chickens can be protected, and monitoring of them more easily, and they produce ang products such as eggs, meat, and fertilizer be easily collected. Chicken cage can also be created as part of the chicken grazing systems, where the chicken cages only during the night. Always remember that the first 4 weeks in the life of a chicken is the most important time. If attention is given, will produce quality chickens are more healthy adults with size and greater results.

 Naturally, the chickens are independent creatures and will take care of itself, except for medicines and sometimes protection against predators.
 Cage
  A cage would be more manageable if made close to home and if possible close to the source water. Cages should be given protection from rain and predators. In it can be made perches and nesting places. Use materials that are available and murah.Ayam usually lay eggs in the morning until midday. Therefore, do not let chickens roam outside at those times, after noon before the chicken could be removed and roam free. Giringlah they return each evening to provide food in the cage.A good cage to provide a variety of chicken needs, such as:
 - Containers of water. Clean water should be available too chicken health.- Box for laying eggs. Chicken memerluk to spawn a comfortable and terlindu form of a box or basket of grass yan. N aka egg collection becomes easier because the chicken willspawn at the same place.- Place perch. Perch is made does not stick in the ground, serves to placechickens roost at night as well as provide protection from predators.- The floor is dry. Cage floor must remain dry to prevent the chickens became sick. On the floor could be added a little layer of grass. To facilitate cleaning, the floor can be made of cement and keep adding grass on its surface. The grass could be chicken feed. The grass and chicken manure can be issued once a month and used as compost.- Fresh air. Chicken coop must allow the wind and the air goes into it. Do not let the chickens are in a cage all day. Without fresh air will exacerbate the health of chickens.
Yard

 The yard should be provided near the cage for the chickens do not go wandering far away. The existence of the yard will facilitate the monitoring of chicken and will provide more benefits and results rather than just make a cage alone. The yard could have been made some time after the cage was completed.
 Complete this yard with plants that could be chicken feed, such as mulberry, moringa, and vines such as passion fruit, beans, cucumbers, and pumpkins. Provide also a fence aroundyard, a bamboo fence that also serves as a place to plant propagation, or fence lives such as legumes and bamboo that also serves as shade and windbreaks. Results from plants grown to provide additional benefits, such as fruits, in addition to the feed for chicken.
 Feed

 Chicken feed must always be given every day. Chicken feed may include kitchen scraps, weeds, fruits, and vegetables. Chickens also need grain. To improve the quality and nutrition of grain given to the chicken, soak for 1-2 days in advance. It takes roughly a handful of grain for every 10 chickens per day. Chicken will be clawing the ground to find insects and worms. Land scratches can easily be provided by partially closing the ground with a layer of husks, grasses, or weeds that would lure the insects to live on the bottom layer. Let the chickens have fun hunting insects in this layer, after some time later, the layer will decompose and will also be collected so manychicken manure.
These materials are high quality compost material yan. Place of composting could be constructed near the chicken coop. You can also breed the termites to feed chickens. How, dig a pit in the ground in the chicken yard and enter the woods that have been rotting in a hole, cover the hole and leave for a month. Setela it, remove the timber full of termites and let the hens party! Soil around the hole will be rich in nutrients and sediment from inside the hole is a very good fertilizer.
 Shade
Chickens need the shade. Remember that chicken ancestors came from the forest and they need the shade to stay healthy!
