I started with the deep litter for about six years on a farm a few kilometers away from my home. It was quite difficult to manage and monitor. This resulted in stealing of both eggs and birds. I moved the farm to my house, use battery cages and we are now enjoying poultry farming. Thanks for all the information. Will subscribe.

I am still researching on the construction of such. This information has really come in handy. Kindly consider doing a video on the actual dimensions of a good chicken house for layers. I know you don’t favour caged layers but you can mention how one for cages can also best be made. With love from Katete, Zambia

    DOC, that was great advice, chickens need good air flow regardless of the type of breed, just keep them dry and out of strong cold winds and plenty of space and they will do well, the only time my chickens get heat is when the winter when the temps. drop below 0 deg.F. but that is just one way i also give a little more food and put in a water heater so the can get fresh water.

If this keeps up I'll have to start my channel on the birds instead of on my Company lol.. and I love what you said about the "step" label btw, family is family and my daughters have different fathers but were raised as sisters, no half or step anything's in my family.

    Hello Dr. Daniel. Thank you so much Doc for the free farming skills you're sharing with the world to make the world a better place to live in. You have done your part. Guess the rest is up to us to follow suit. My worry about such open chicken house, how do you handle the burglary risks of theft? It's a common occurrence in African countries. How do you ensure the safety of your birds with all that open mesh? May be welding in some burglar proof iron bars too?

    You can build your pen far away from easy access. We place ours 80 t0 90 frets from the farm fate. It can be more than that. I know we manage land, and must people build against the wall or fences, in such case we hope nothing bad happens. But is u have enough space you can build at the middle or far from easy reach.

    Perches and soily materials like good litters are good to exhibit their natural behaviors like dust bathing, chase and run, feather clapping, etc. But for commercial purpose concrete ground is preferable with Quality litters like wood shavings, or rice husk. And it's easy to clean too Space Layer: deep litter about 1.50ft^2 cage:0.50ft^
