What is It
Housing Equipment and Design
Suitable poultry housing is very important for successful poultry farming.
Chicken needs accurate management and environment for better production and
welfare. Planned and proper housing design for the chicken is very essential to
keep the chicken healthy and productive.
Classification of Poultry Housing System
1. Free Range System

Accessible to shelter/ stand, water and grass as food , 3 chicken in
every square- meter (sq.mt) regardless to its gender. Foraging is the major source
of feeding for chicken. The fields are generally used on rotational basis after
harvesting crop.
The position of the house is important to conform with the basic requirements
for the chicken.
Floor:
The floor must be:
 Flat and smooth and easy to clean

 Have a good depth of litter cover (saw dust, shavings, dried
grass, leaves, chopped straw, rice hulls, crushed coffee hulls,
peanut hulls
Litter:
 Should be raked weekly

 Should be change every two batches of meat birds or every
batch layers.
 Makes excellent fertilizer for your garden.
 Makes an excellent compost when mixed with leaves, grass,
vegetables waste and etc.
Fresh poultry manure must stored for a few months other wise it may burn plants.
Adequate zooning space for birds is most important particularly in regions where
it is always hot, if there are more crowded chicken will not grow well. Remove
manure from empty house and replace with clean litter.
Drinkers :
Give your birds clean, fresh water. You can make your own drinkers, such
as FAA, Calphos, LABS to boast the immune system of your birds
Feeders:
This can be made from local materials or ready-made feeders.
Advantages of Free Range Chicken
 Less Capital investment

 Cost of housing is least
 Chicken can barely feeds from grass land
 Fertility of soil can be maintain
Disadvantages of Free Range Chicken
 Eggs are lost when laid inside the dense grasses

 Losses due to predatory animals are more
 Wild birds may bring diseases unless proper care are taken
2. Semi – Intensive System

Chicken are half – way reared in houses and half – way on ground or
range. The houses are with solid floors while runs are fields only. The feeding and
watering facilities are provided in the pen
Advantages
 More economical use of land

 Protection of chicken from extreme climatic condition
Disadvantages
 High Cost of fencing

 Need for routine cleaning and removal of litter material from the pen.
3. Intensive System
Chicken are totally confined to houses either on ground/ floor or on
wire – netting floor cages or on slats.
Advantages
 Minimum land is required for farming
 Farms can be located near market area
 Day – to – day management is easier
 The production performance is higher as more energy is save due to
restricted movements.
 Scientific management practices like breeding, feeding , medication,
culling can be applied easily and accurately
 The sick chicken can be detected , isolated and treated easily.
Disadvantages
 They cannot be perform the natural behavior like roosting, spreading
wings, scratching the floor with legs.
 All the nutrients should be provided in balanced manner to avoid
nutritionally deficient diseases.
 Chances for spreading of diseases are more.
Goals of Pen Design
 Be easy to move by hand

 Not injured chickens during moves
 Remain in place during high wind
 Easy to build out of readily available materials
 Supports the changing needs of the chicken as they grow.
Examples of Pen
 Wood Frame, Aluminum Roof/ Walls
 Wood Frame / Steel Roof, Tarp Walls

 Lightweight Cattle Panel Frame, Tarp Walls
 PVC Pipe, Frame, Tarp Roof/ Wall

What’s New
Read the article below. After reading, Answer the question written at the bottom of
the article. Write your answer on your activity notebook.
How to raise Free Range Chicken. Free Range system is best adapted to small
scale farmers who raise chicken for household and commercial consumption. This
low – cost commercial value of poultry products. A chicken house is needed,
surrounded by a fence.. Local materials are best and suitable for the chicken.
Nest boxes for laying hens should be installed inside the chicken house. The
chicken house should be face southeast. It should thus built on the northwest
corner of the backyard.
1. Why is it important to considered of the house of a chicken?

What is It
House Equipment Installation
Chicken Coops - Chicken coops can be simple homemade arks to chicken.

Coop is positioned so that the front of it faces the rising sun but it's protected from
the midday sun. Part of the run should be shaded and with good ventilation. If you
are raising 12 chickens in a covered coop with an attached run then your coop
should be 5 x 7 feet and at least 1/5 of wall space should be allocated to windows.
If you are not going to provide any outdoor access, then you could only house six
(6) chickens in this space. However, unless you keep your chicken production to
small numbers, one coop will never be enough. If you are going to breed chickens,
you will need extra space for hen and the chicks. Sometimes too, you will have a
sick chicken that needs to be separated from the rest.
Movable Ark. House equipment can be placed directly over an area that can
be used in the future for vegetables and then moved to another area at a later date.
This equipment has a number of reasons: 1).Chickens can scratch around in the
dirt, eat the grass and insects and fertilize the soil at the same time. 2). moving
organic chickens around can minimize the chance of disease; they always have
access to fresh grass, and involved very little housework when cleaning out, as
opposed to a permanently fixed hen house. However, they still need to be cleaned
and disinfected, and this should be done every 6 weeks.
Nest/Nesting Boxes. For every 3 laying-hens there should be 1 nesting box
1 foot square and 14 inches high. These should be placed just off the ground and
lined with straw or hay. They will need to be cleaned out regularly; at least once a
month, dusted for parasites, and any broken eggs should be removed immediately.
This is very important as once a hen gets into the habit of eating eggs, it will be
almost impossible to stop.
Perches. House equipment that should run the length of your hen house
should be about 2 inches thick. However, if you are keeping small breeds of
chicken for organic production, then they should be 1 inch in thickness. If you are
using wood, all perches should have the top edges rounded off, and the wood
should be splinter-free. Each bird should be allocated 8 inches of roosting space.
Never place the perches more than 2 feet off the ground for fear of injuring the
birds, unless you are keeping a variety of bird that has long plumage.
SOURCE: MANILA BULLETIN AGRICULTURE VOLUME 18 ISSUE 2 FEBRUARY 2014
Chicken Runs This housing equipment is very important for raising organic
chicken. Nineteen gauge wires with a 2 inches mesh are more than adequate for
fencing the chickens. However, for egg-layers who are quite flighty, and to keep
predators out, they should be built to 6 feet in height. The best way in dealing with
fixed chicken houses is to have 2 runs attached to the sides of the house. While
one is in use, the other is free. This must be done so that the ground can recover
and the grass can regrow, and it also helps to cut back on parasites and diseases
that might occur.
SOURCE: MANILA BULLETIN AGRICULTURE VOLUME 18 ISSUE 2 FEBRUARY 2014
Types of Chicken runs
 Roost . Chicken love to roost , they are more joyful experience in

the run.
 Hay . Chicken love to scratch in the hay and spread it around , so
it is exactly where they want it.
 Stairs . easy way to make your run more fun for the chicken
 Tree stumps, bales of hay, lawn chairs . Chicken love anything
that they can jump on top of
 Dust Bathing area . Dust bathing is important for the chicken
because it feel them clean. The dust removes excess oil from the
chicken skin and can ever kills parasites.

operations. Common bedding materials include wood shavings, sawdust, peanut
hulls, shredded sugar cane, straw, and other dry, absorbent, low-cost organic
materials. Sand is also occasionally used as bedding. The bedding materials help
absorb moisture, limiting the production of ammonia and harmful pathogens. The
materials used for bedding can also have a significant impact on carcass quality
and bird performance

What’s New
I have here some issue and concern about the litter materials for the chicken. Let
us read and analyze. Write your answer on your activity notebook.
1. What are the steps should be taken to ensure the value of litter materials as a
soil conditioner and fertilizer?
2. What can be done to improve litter management in chicken sheds to reduce

ammonia, dust and damp litter condition?
What is It
Preparation of Bedding Materials Based on Housing Equipment and Housing

Design
Organic chicken growers consider a number of factors when determining the

kind and amount of bedding materials to use on their farms. The cost and
availability of bedding materials in the locality are two of their major
considerations; hence low-cost organic bedding materials are preferred by organic
chicken growers.
Proper Bedding for Chickens
The most common myth about chickens is that they stink. They certainly do when
they are crammed into buildings lacking fresh air or when their bedding gets wet –
but for a backyard flock just a few simple tips can help minimize odors in your
chicken coop.
A key to keeping chickens healthy and odor free is the proper use of coop bedding,
or litter as it’s usually called. There are many types of litter but to function well all
must be able to absorb some moisture, insulate the floor from cold, and give
chickens a chance to dust.
Litter must stay dry to remain odor free. Four to six inches of dry wood
shavings easily last six months or more before it needs to be changed. Droppings
become incorporated into the shavings, as the chickens stir it. About every six
months you can scoop the old litter out of the coop with a shovel (a snow shovel
works well) and replace it with fresh chips. Used bedding can be either composted
or a thin layer can be worked into garden soil to provide nutrients and water
absorbency.
When litter gets wet, usually when a waterer leaks or tips over, it’s essential to
immediately remove the soggy shavings and replace them with fresh dry ones.
Otherwise, they will soon smell.
Characteristics of Good Bedding Materials
Good bedding materials for raising organic chicken should have the following
characteristics:
1. They should not be toxic to the birds and free of mycotoxins that the birds may
produce from certain fungal contaminations.
2. They should be free of contaminants such as pesticides, heavy metals ions and
essential metals because these can be harmful to chickens even at low
concentrations when ingested over a long period of time (Nolan, 1983; Young,
2005). http://scialert.net/fulltext/?doi=jest.2012.441.451&org=11
3. They should be highly absorbent and have a reasonably short drying time. Paper
products may be considered as bedding materials as they are absorbent but they
do not dry out appropriately.
4. They should have reduced thermal conductivity.
5. They should be recyclable after being used as bedding materials and can be used
as organic fertilizer.
6. They should be readily and reasonably available in the locality and relatively
inexpensive.
Suggested Local Bedding Materials
Bedding is an essential part of the chicken house; the materials that will be
used must be dry, absorbent, low-cost organic and locally available and abundant.
It limits the production of ammonia and harmful pathogens in the chicken house.
The suggested bedding materials locally available are:
1. Rice Straw (uhay) - also called as rice stem which are readily available in the
country.
2. Rice Hull (ipa) – the part of the rice plant where the grain is contained. These
are readily available in the country. These are free from excessive dust, and their
size, thermal conductivity, and drying rate make them a good choice for bedding.
3. Wood Shavings – thin curly shreds of wood as result of smoothing process

(“pagkakatam”), it is commonly used for stuffing or packing.
4. Sandy Soil - soil containing 85% or more of sand and a maximum of 10% of
clay.
5. Turf - the upper layer of ground that is made up of grass and plant roots, a
square piece of turf cut out of the ground that is used for making lawns, a material
that looks like grass and that is used especially to cover athletic fields.
6. Dried Leaves
Management Practices of Beddings

1. Moisture - the heating and ventilation system in a poultry house must be
continuously monitored to keep the moisture content of the litter controlled so that
the litter remains friable. If litter is not kept at an acceptable moisture level, very
high bacterial loads and unsanitary growing conditions may result producing odors
(ammonia), insect problems and blister.
2. Disposal and Re – use - it is use as fertilizer for crops , potting materials for
the greenhouse and plant container industries.
What’s More

answer in your answer sheet.

What is It
The Brooding Facility

Brooding is the management of chicks from one day old to about eight weeks of
age. It involves provision of heat and other necessary care during the early growing
period of chicks. Brooding units are designed to house chicks from one day old
until about eight weeks of age, when they no longer need supplementary heat.
Rearing refers to the remainder of life after brooding until sexual maturity.
Types of Brooding Systems
Artificial brooding is the handling of newly hatched chicks without the aid of the
mother hen. It is accomplished by means of a temperature- controlled brooder,
which serves as the chicks’ foster mother.
SOURCE: Philippine Council For Agriculture, Forestry And Natural Resources Research And Development
(PCARRD) Farm Primer No. 28/2008
Natural brooding is when the hen provides the heat and shelter needed by the
chicks. It is used on farms where only few chickens are raised each year.
Depending on her size, a hen will brood from 15 to 20 chickens. The broody hen
will provide all the warmth required by the chicks. Before placing the chicks with
the hen, they would be examined to check for good health and for lice, ticks, and
other ectoparasites.
It is done with the help of broody hens after hatching, up to 3 – 4 weeks of

age.
SOURCE: PCCARRD FARMNEWS ISSN 0116-9491 JULY-SEPT. 2011
Try to spend some time watching a mother hen to see how efficiently she
provides for all the chicks’ needs. The just-hatched chicks’ does not insulate them
as well as their eventual feathers, so—should it get breezy—the hen calls them to
huddle under her breast and wings for some on-the-spot warming. If a rain shower
blows up, she finds dry shelter. Hens spend most of their time finding high-quality
natural feeds for the chicks, ensuring their rapid growth and excellent health.
Finally, the hen will defend them from predators looking for a meal. Brooding
chicks should be kept warm and dry until they are well feathered, less vulnerable,
and ready to take care of themselves. From day one they should be protected from
predators and fed with a diverse array of live, natural feeds. If your brooder and
your management meet these requirements, brooding chicks is easy and success is
virtually certain.
Managing the Brooder
Broodiness, the natural tendency of native hens to sit on and incubate their
eggs, is one of the factors contributing to poor egg production. Normally, a hen lays
a clutch of about two to fifteen eggs, stop lying and sit on these eggs. The broody
period lasts for more than the incubation period of twenty-one days, because the
hen, being a good mother, still has to take care of her chicks or sometime.
Broodiness is physiological in nature, the only thing anybody can do to
increase egg production in native hens is either to encourage them to lay more eggs
before the onset of the broody period or to shorten the said period.
Monitoring the brooder as often as you can and frequent checks to the needs
of the mother hen is the key to success.
To encourage the hen to lay more eggs, the eggs should be collected as soon
as they are laid and not allowed to accumulate in the nest. The site of eggs in a
nest is among the factors causing the initiation of broodiness in native hens.
To shorten the broody period, a hen can either be confined in a well-

ventilated cage, to allow for constant air exchange, thus ensure keeping the brooder
dry, preventing health problems related to damp conditions and lighted cage, using
electricity to warm the brooder, so a convenient outlet is a better option than a long
set of extension cords, which create hazards.
Eggs can be immersed in a bucket of water for about five minutes before
turning it loose or placing it in a pen with a rooster. These, techniques, like regular
collection of eggs, also result in an increase in the number of eggs laid before the
onset of the next broody period.
Many organic chicken growers employ a “draft shield” to block drafts

(ampiyas) at floor level. This shield could be a long strip of cardboard about 30 to
45cm high, set in a circle around the space under the heat source, or a long strip of
metal flashing which gets rolled up and stored until the next batch of chicks. In
either case, the draft shield should be expanded as the chicks grow and need more
space.
In addition to blocking drafts, a draft shield prevents right-angle corners in

the brooder in which chicks can “pile up” when they are cold, frightened, or
stressed, leading to suffocation in the worst case, although it is best to keep the
chicks from sources of stress. Never use such a circular shield so as to avoid
problem with piling up.
Some medium or large organic growers prefer an infrared heat lamp; others
opt for heat lamps with ordinary clear light. This brooding equipment has seen little
difference in performance.
Whether suspended or clipped to a handy anchor, the lamp must be

securely attached to prevent falling onto a combustible surface. Heat lamps of 250
watts should be no closer than 45 cm, while 125- or 150-watt lamps should be no
closer than 33 cm from a flammable surface underneath. There should be no
danger of accidental wetting of bulbs, sockets, or plugs.
There is one thing that should be done in the brooder which the mother hen
does not have to do for the chicks. When chicks are running about with their
mother, their droppings are scattered at random over the ground, and
decompositional organisms get to work right away to incorporate them into the soil.
But in a brooder, the droppings continually accumulate. Without proper
management, they quickly become highly unsanitary and unpleasant to people as
well as to the chicks, and create excess dampness.
The chicks’ response to temperature can be observed through their behavior.

If they are clustered under the heat source, they are chilly and you need to increase
the heat by lowering a heat lamp or turning on another or dialing up the rheostat.
If they are crowded around the perimeters of the brooder as far as they can get
from the heat source, it is too warm. If they are scooting about like water bugs on a
pond, that is the point that is considered just right. Of course, like all babies they
need to sleep a lot, so do not be perturbed to see chicks with their beaks down in
the bedding materials.

Electric Battery Brooder Gas Brooder
The usual source of heat for the chicks is either an electric heating element
or heat lamps that are suspended overhead. Heating elements with a rheostat for
dialing temperature up or down are readily available from poultry supply houses. If
you rely on lamps, it is better to use two, so heat remains available even if one
burns out.
Protecting the Chicks
Most organic farmers set up the brooder inside a building that protects the
chicks from the usual predators. Remember, however, that rats can be devastating
to helpless chicks. If you have rats around, either trap them all or secure the
brooder with half-inch hardware cloth. Snakes have a taste for chicks as well, so
make sure they have no place to hide. Prevent access to them too by the family dog
or cat to keep them safe from danger.

Watering the Chicks

Do not use any watered that allows the chicks to wade or splash. If they get
wet, the chicks quickly chill and die even at room temperatures. There are a
number of options for chick waterers, but they all feature a "lip" that holds the
water but is too narrow for the chicks to get in. Water in the reservoir, whether in a
quart Mason jar or in a gallon plastic tank, flows freely into the lip through a hole
in the base until the hole is covered when a vacuum forms inside the reservoir
which prevents further flow.
Set the waterer on a stand or suspend it, to keep it free of bedding materials
kicked up by the chicks. Drinking water should be at about shoulder height of the
chicks, so the waterer should be raised—by setting on blocks, or by shortening the
cord if suspended—as the chicks grow. Clean the waterers frequently, but only by
rinsing or by swabbing with a brush. It is not necessary to sterilize them by boiling
or by using toxic chemicals such as chlorine bleach.
Prevent wet spots around the waterer, since damp bedding materials are
more likely to support growth of molds or pathogens and parasites such as cocci
and roundworms. If the bedding materials get wet, remove them and add fresh, dry
materials.
Feeds of Brooder
Source of Carbohydrate and Fats
 Yellow Corn - Best grains for fattening chickens. It consist of 8 – 9

percent crude protein high in energy and low of fiber. It contains
vitamin A and yellow pigmenting compound.
 Rice Bran - It is usually high in fiber but contains adequate amount
of fats.
 Copra meal – is by product of coconut meat after the oil has been
removed. It contains about 20 percent protein
 Molasses - source of carbohydrates.
Leaving the Brooder
The chicks must be fully feathered and capable of maintaining body

temperature without added heat before they can leave the brooder. Early in the
season they might need to stay in the brooder for four weeks; in the summer, only
three or even less.
When you think they may be ready, turn off the heat in the brooder, and
then check on them at night. If they are sleeping comfortably rather than huddling
together against the cold, it is time to take the brooder apart until the next batch of
chicks.
