Chickens Livestock Systems (Part 2)
Fence
The fence is needed to keep the chickens are in one area. Live fences can provide shade, feed for chickens and humans, space for vines, windbreaks, and many other benefits. The fence must be high enough to prevent chicken blurred out.

Chickens live in groups or families. Too little or too much chicken in a small space is not good. If they live freely, they will naturally regulate the size of the group. If you keep chickens in a cage, you have to specify the size of the group.
The ideal number is 1 roosters per 10-15 females. When the chicks have started to look where the male and which are female, males who are not in use can be separated to be consumed.
Shearing Wings
To prevent chickens flying and blurred out the fence is to cut the tip of one wing feathers. Feather cut is long hair that is in the outer portion of one of its wings.This will affect the balance of chicken and prevented him from flying. Repeat these cuts every 6 months.

Chicken is generally an independent animal, rarely sick, and care for herself. To prevent a sick chicken, keep the cage in order to stay dry and clean it regularly. Separate the sick chickens until they are cured to prevent the spread of disease.

Add the pieces of neem leaves into the holes. Neem leaves will become a natural pesticide that will help reduce body lice on chicken, but it is safe for chickens.
For the problem of intestinal worms in chickens, there are two examples of natural medicine that is by giving papaya seeds or leaves of mulberry. Chickens like to eat it, especially seeds from papaya. Give regularly to help prevent worm problems. Chickens also like to eat chili and onions, which will help them fight some types of specific diseases. Egg shell or shells that have been destroyed and the sand is also good given the chicken.

One of the diseases that killed many chickens in many countries is Newcastle disease??'s Disease (ND). This disease spreads quickly and easily and occurs every year, usually at the end of the dry season. The only effective control is by vaccination. Vaccinations should be given when the chicken is still small, and should be given to all the chickens in each group.
