Tips of choose and buy high quality chicken coops:
1.When purchasing cage nets, farmers should pay attention to the material of the chicken cage and choose Q235 steel. The cage made of Q235 steel will have good strength and toughness, the cage will not be deformed, and the chickens have a comfortable growth environment. This cage is suitable for the growth and production of chickens, and does not cause chicken bursitis due to the rigidity of the cage.
If it is Q195 steel, the chicken cage is easily deformed and the life of the chicken cage is short, which is not good to the growth of laying hens and broilers. Farmers who are new in chicken farming usually attracted by a low price quoted from some bad suppliers. After the farmers purchased, the chicken cage will be damaged after 2 to 3 years and cannot be used. Therefore, you must pay attention when buying chicken cages, not just consider price and choose cheapest .
In addition, when purchasing a cage, the farmer should also observe whether the surface of the cage is smooth and the gloss is good. Generally, the cage surface treated by hot dipped galvanized or hot galvanized wire is smooth and will not cause scratches to the chicken. And the gloss of the cage is better, and it looks beautiful. Most importantly, the hot galvanized chicken cage is corrosion-resistant, non-rusting and has a long service life.
If it is a laying hen cage, you need to pay attention to : when buying a cage, farmers should also pay attention to the cage wire spacing and the inclination of the chassis. To ensure that the eggs roll smoothly without breaking, the distance between the wires is usually about 1.5 cm. The inclination of the chassis is 7-8 degrees. If the angle is too large or too small, it will affect the eggs. It can cause damage to the egg, or the egg rolls out, pecking the egg in layers, etc.
2. Choose a good chicken cage frame. Cage framehas several quality, and the U-shaped steel hot-galvanized chicken cage frameis the best quality, this kind of frame is easy to assemble, when it arrives at your chicken farm, no need welding machine and it can be assembled with screws.
