Poultry and Chicken Farming


Free range chickens have the benefit of being able to forage and scratch for natural food – bugs, worms, seeds and anything else they can find while being outside. It is good to give any chickens natural food like lucerne and spinach – but there are no regulations about what to feed a free range chicken. The only criteria to calling you chicken free range is that it has at least one square meter to itself in the great scheme of things – if you keep 100 free range chickens they must have access to 100 square meters of space – this does not mean that where they sleep needs to be that large – they will prefer to perch and roost close to each other. There are a few methods of giving you chickens food – tube feeders are the most popular, but any method that saves food from waste and allows the chickens access to chicken food all the time is good. 

How do I feed chickens covers many aspects if you are doing large scale poultry farming – there are several sizes of chicken houses and depending what size will determine what automatic chicken feeding systems you use in South Africa.

Chickens are already an integral part of human life. Chickens are one of the major sources of animal meat, aside from pork and fish. As a business, they offer an opportunity for people to earn big that’s why there are many poultry farms out there. One of the major customers for poultry farms are the major fast-food companies, although some of them have their own chicken farms to supply their needs.
Don’t get behind the profits, and start setting up your poultry farms now. It is not hard to do so. Here are some useful tips that can help you along your way.
