How To Raise Healthy Chickens To Be Productive For a Long Time.
4 Important Things You Need To Do To Raise Chickens
1-A good chicken coop
2-A secure automatic chicken coop door
3-A biosecuriety water fountain
4-A biosecuriety feeder
A good chicken coop is one that sits off the ground about 12 inches to keep mice, rats and snakes away from your chickens and eggs. You will need about 4 square feet of room for every chicken in your coop. It also has to have adequate ventilation so that your chickens do not get respiratory problems.
A good coop also needs to have roosting poles for your chickens to roost at night and it needs to be built so that it is easy to clean several times a year. You also need good nest boxes so the hens feel safe when laying their eggs. You will need 1 nest box for every 5 hens. To check out my chicken coop plans

The next thing you need is a secure automatic chicken coop door that opens in the morning and closes about dark in the evening. It takes less than 15 minutes to install and you can start sleeping in of a morning and you can stay out late at night because you decide when it opens and closes. It will keep out mice, rats, weasels,dogs,cats,hawks,possums,racoons,foxes and coyotes. To see how well my door works

A biosecuriety water fountain is the next thing you will need to protect your chickens. Chickens need clean fresh water to properly digest their food and to regulate their body temperature. The consequences of dirty water can be reduced egg production. In extreme cases, lower water consumption can result in chickens that suffer heat stress and sometimes will completely stop laying eggs.
A good water fountain will keep out wild birds and rats that spread diseases. To see the water fountain that I use for my chickens

The last and most important thing you need to take care of your chickens is a feeder that will prevent your feed cost from getting out of control. A treadle chicken feeder will prevent wild birds,rats and mice from stealing your expensive feed and prevent the spreading of filth and diseases. My feed bill went down 70% after using my treadle chicken feeder. To see how its made go here
