Key Points of High-Leg Chicken Breeding Technology and Detailed Rearing Methods

AbstractHigh-leg chicken chicks need constant-temperature, meticulous feeding to improve the survival rate. During the growing period, high-leg chickens should have enhanced lighting and a sufficient supply of drinking water, and their feed should also be nutritionally balanced. The coop where high-leg chickens rest should have daily sanitation and disinfection and epidemic prevention work strengthened to avoid chicken diseases, thereby affecting breeding benefits.

1. Newly hatched high-leg chicks need to be placed in a brooding room for meticulous feeding. Pay attention to the constant temperature of the brooding room, and do not let changes in the temperature difference between morning and evening outside affect the survival rate of the high-leg chicks. During the chick stage, they can be fed chick concentrated feed so they absorb comprehensive nutrition and grow faster and better.

2. High-leg chickens are generally raised in a free-range mode under the forest. During the day, when the light is strong, the high-leg chickens can be allowed to walk and move freely in the wild. Light can stimulate the high-leg chickens to grow and develop faster. They can find natural foods such as insects and tender grass under the forest, supplemented by feeding protein feed, energy feed, and other complete feed for large and medium chickens, for balanced nutrition. Clean drinking water must be provided every day to ensure sufficient drinking water.

3. The chicken coop needs to be cleaned daily, the ground kept dry, and disinfection and epidemic prevention work done well to avoid causing chickens to get sick. Pay attention to ventilation daily. Especially in winter, besides keeping warm, ventilation is also very important. Keeping the air in the chicken coop fresh can let the chickens grow healthier.
