How to Build a Bamboo House for Chickens, Raising and Caring for Chickens

1. Planning and Design

  • Determination of dimensions: Based on the number of chickens you plan to raise, determine the size of the house. Each chicken needs about 0.3 to 0.5 square meters of internal area.
  • On the drawing: Outline the design of the house with separate areas such as a chicken coop, a dining area, and a place for chickens to lay eggs.

2. Prepare the ingredients

  • Bamboo: Choose bamboo that is the right size, sturdy and free from pests. Use fresh bamboo and treat it to avoid termites.
  • Wood and other materials: Additional wood may be needed to make the frame and other small details.

3. Build the frame of the house

  • Laying the foundation: Use stone or concrete to create a solid foundation and avoid moisture.
  • Making the frame: Use bamboo as the main frame of the house. Ensure the frame is solid and can withstand the load.

4. Wall and Roof Installation

  • Wall: Wrap the sides of the frame with bamboo to create the wall. Make sure the walls are well ventilated so that the chickens don't get hot.
  • Roof: Use bamboo to make a roof and wrap coconut leaves or straw to protect against rain and insulation.

5. Create internal areas

  • Dining Area: Provide suitable feeding and drinking troughs. Make sure water and food are always available.
  • Spawning area: Provide nests for chickens. Usually the litter should be placed in a quiet and accessible place.

6. Finishing and Testing

  • Check: Make sure that the house is free of holes or dangerous places for chickens. Check for ventilation and ensure good air circulation.

Chicken Care

1. Diet

  • Food: Provide balanced food with enough nutrients. Chickens need protein, vitamins, and minerals.
  • Drinking water: Make sure there is always clean water for chickens to drink. It is recommended to change the water daily.

2. Hygiene and Cleanliness

  • Tidy up: Regularly clean up feces and garbage in the house to keep it hygienic and reduce the risk of disease.
  • Disinfection: Periodically disinfect the chicken's eating and dwelling areas.

3. Health Monitoring

  • Health Screening: Monitor the health of chickens, check for signs of disease. If strange symptoms are detected, it is necessary to seek advice from a veterinarian.
  • Intensive care: Provide medication or health care products as needed.

4. Protect chickens

  • Protect against wildlife: Make sure the chicken's home has a strong fence to protect it from predators such as foxes, ferrets, or birds of prey.
