This time I had the opportunity to enter my uncle's broiler cage, coincidentally the cage is behind my house, this is a chicken that many people eat, and I'm sure you all like it, especially if it's been processed into fried chicken. Ha ha

Now, my uncle's cage has a capacity of 600-800 chickens, now they are about 10 days old so they still look small and look healthy.

Broiler is one type of chicken that is commonly consumed by many people, the high consumer demand for this chicken makes people want to develop this type of chicken, now this type of chicken is very easy to find. this type of chicken meat is the raw material for fried chicken such as KFC, McDonald's, etc because this chicken meat has a soft and tender texture so that many people consume it

Raising this type of chicken is not as easy as chickens in general, it requires accuracy and tenacity so that these chickens can be raised properly and correctly, when viewed from the shape, the chicken has a different shape from the chickens that people keep. In general, yes, the name is also broiler, of course, more meat, one chicken can weigh up to 3-4 kg, not only shape, broilers also have a shorter lifespan than ordinary chickens, broilers are only 30-40 days old on average. Because the maintenance is not easy, the price of this chicken is expensive, in my place this broiler is priced at $2 per kg, quite expensive isn't it? So I imagine if all the chickens in this coop were sold. Can you imagine? Ha

So, are any of you interested in cultivating this broiler

Now there are things you need to know and pay attention to if you want to raise these chickens, apart from feed, there are actually many things that need to be considered, but this time I only focus on the cag.

Air temperatur

The first thing to pay attention to is the air temperature, broiler chickens should not be too hot and not too cold, because the air temperature will affect the quality of the chicken, to keep the air temperature warm at night, my uncle uses this stove, a stove designed from used drums . It still looks traditional, besides being traditional it is also to save costs

Cage Met

To keep the chickens healthy and of good quality, when the chickens are still young, a good cage mat is used, namely rice husks, in addition to warming the body and maintaining chicken health, the husk also serves to reduce the smell of chickens

Another interesting thing is that this chicken is a chicken that is easily stressed, especially when it hears startling sounds, so to work around this, my uncle installed an active speaker, the music will always be on until the chicken is big and has entered the harvest periode.
