Free-range chicken farming requires attention to appropriate raising time and scale

Free-range chicken farming requires attention to appropriate raising time. The time free-range chickens are raised outdoors directly affects meat quality, flavor and economic returns. Once they reach a body weight of 1.2 to 1.5 kg, they can be marketed at 80 days. The economic returns of free-range chicken farming are related to a moderate raising scale. Generally, one full laborer should raise 1500 to 2000 birds per batch. Large-scale contiguous farming is strictly prohibited. The distance between farms should be no less than 200 m, one farm per hill, about 1500 to 2000 birds per batch, and even under good conditions no more than 5000 birds, with placement at multiple points and scattered farming. This helps with disease prevention and treatment, reduces risk and increases economic returns.
