How to Build a Brooder House for Chickens

Video Transcript

I'm Dr. T. K. Roy. Speaking on behalf of Expert Village. In the brooder house where we are sitting at the moment, the brooder house should be very, very comfortable for the birds. That is one point. All houses, whether brooder house, or layer house, should be comfortable to the birds. That is the first criteria. It should be well ventilated, and it should be, if possible, full of sunshine, so that the -- with the, humidity we have, the inside remains very dry, and without any obnoxious smell inside the house. And, structure should be very permanent also. Until and unless you give permanent structure, like cemented floor, like cemented wall, and all those things -- but cleaning the walls and the floors is very, very important, because you have to maintain good hygiene inside the brooder house. Another very important aspect I would emphasize is that the feeder and the waterer should be absolutely clean before they're being used. After the day, when you again come to give feed and water on the next morning, both the container -- I mean the feeder and the waterer -- should be properly cleaned by scrubbing and by cleaning under fresh water and then new water for the next day will be poured over that. So this is very important. You should not forget to clean out feeder and waterer. Otherwise, these two will become the potential source of infection and disease for the birds. Thank you very much.
