First, there are four points to consider:

1>Type of Chicken Raised: Broiler or Layer?

2>What stage will you start: eggs, chicks, or mature?

3>Open free-range chicken house or fixed closed chicken house?

4>Compliant with local building requirements

4 more basic requirements

1>Space

Provide enough or suitable living space for each chicken, enough space is conducive to their growth; also ensure air circulation to avoid large-scale infectious diseases;

2>Ventilation

It is very necessary to ventilate the interior of the chicken home to ensure indoor air circulation and fresh air, which are essential for the growth of chickens and the avoidance of diseases;

3>Light

Light is important for feeding because chickens identify food visually.

Light is also an important factor in sexual maturation, and an increased proportion of light will accelerate sexual maturation in growing pullets, allowing them to lay eggs faster. If the hens are already laying eggs, increasing the light ratio will increase egg production.

4>protection (from weather and predators)

2 aspects: Protection from diseases;
