Raising chickens in orchards requires attention to strengthening management
The chicken coop should be built on flat ground that is sheltered from the wind and faces the sun, facing south, so that it can keep warm, block wind, and not accumulate water or leak rain. For the free-range area in the orchard, sandy loam soil is best; for clay soil, it is best to set up several sand pits in the free-range area. The slope of the free-range area should not be too steep. It is best to have a clean water source near the free-range area; if there is none, drinkers can be placed at certain intervals in the orchard so that the chickens have enough drinking water. The chicken coop should be cleaned of manure once a day, and routine sanitation and disinfection work should be done well. During the free-range period, feeding should follow the principle of "less in the morning, an appropriate amount in the evening," while also taking into account the poor foraging ability of young chickens and adding feed as appropriate.
