- Poultry house video showing a 9m x 3 m small chicken house that holds 405 broiler chickens. The steel structure for chickens and all the poultry equipment was paid for with government funding in South Africa. It is a fairly cheap chicken house. chickenhouses.c...
mmm - good for you - I also only do free range - hens for eggs - and they have loads of room. Problem is - if you need to make a living from raising chickens, and you are a poor person with limited land, like many people in S.A. - you have to do intensive farming. Wish we had started this on a better footing - it is an interesting discussion and worth persuing. I am in total agreement with you.
If you are considering building a small chicken house with the help of a government grant, here are some key steps and considerations:
### 1. **Research Available Grants**
- **Federal Grants:** Look into federal programs that fund agricultural projects. For example, the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) offers grants for rural development and farming initiatives.
- **State and Local Grants:** Many states have their own agricultural development programs. Check with your state's Department of Agriculture or local government for any available grants.
### 2. **Eligibility Requirements**
- **Type of Applicant:** Some grants are only available to specific groups, such as small farmers, veterans, or women-owned businesses.
- **Project Scope:** Ensure that your project aligns with the grant’s requirements. Some grants may specify the type of farming or the scale of the project.
### 3. **Application Process**
- **Proposal Writing:** You'll likely need to submit a detailed proposal, including plans for the chicken house, budgets, and how the grant will help achieve your goals.
- **Documentation:** Be prepared to provide financial records, proof of land ownership or lease, and a business plan.
### 4. **Designing the Chicken House**
- **Size and Capacity:** Determine how many chickens you plan to raise and build accordingly. A small chicken house might accommodate 10-20 chickens, depending on space and design.
- **Material and Budget:** Consider materials that are durable and easy to clean. Your budget should be aligned with the grant amount.
- **Ventilation and Lighting:** Ensure proper ventilation to prevent respiratory issues in chickens. Natural light is ideal, but you may need to install artificial lighting as well.
### 5. **Building the Chicken House**
- **Construction:** Whether you hire a contractor or do it yourself, ensure the construction meets local building codes.
- **Permits:** Check if you need any permits from local authorities before starting construction.
### 6. **Managing the Grant**
- **Reporting:** Many grants require regular updates or reports on how the funds are being used.
- **Compliance:** Make sure you adhere to all grant conditions to avoid penalties or having to return the funds.
### 7. **Sustainability and Expansion**
- **Future Growth:** Plan for future expansion if your farm grows. Consider modular designs that allow you to easily add more space.
- **Sustainability Practices:** Implement practices that promote sustainability, such as using renewable materials and energy-efficient designs.
### 8. **Additional Resources**
- **USDA Grant Programs:** [USDA Grants and Loans](www.usda.gov/topics/farming/grants-and-loans)
- **Local Cooperative Extension Services:** These can provide valuable advice and resources for small farmers.
By following these steps, you can successfully build a small chicken house using government grant funding. This can be a great start to a sustainable farming operation.
Forget the bell drinkers and use something like the Ziggity Big Ace nipple drinkers. Bell drinkers are far more likely to flood the house and fewer chickens can drink at the same time. Bell drinkers should only be used for turkeys and maybe ducks.
We build these houses for people who get government grants, and the government ain't likely to give money to soft hearted animal lovers who will not make money. They need to lift people out of poverty, and they need food security.
Can easily hold 400 chckens - it is commercial poutry farming - and will produce 400 broilers easily. Yes - it is a lot of chickens per square meter - but it works and this number per suare meter is used all oer the world. So overfarming is a term that that may be used if you are an animal lover - it is a cruel way of farming, no doubt. I prefer free range which allows the birds out side and does not cramp them up.
How many chickens do you want to farm with? A 9m x 3m chicken house for broilers will cost about R41000 - depending on where the house needs to be built. This includes all the poultry equipment - as you see in the video.
Constructing a chicken coops yourself is simple and interesting thing to do. I've made a simple to follow help guide to constructing your very own backyard chicken coop. It's designed for the complete newbie, and you won't need any carpentry skills.
My husband went on a poultry course and is in need of funding to start his Broiler growing business, he would definitely make use of such a coop, how does he get hold of you. his email is zamokuhle@exclusivemail.co.za
Annette D. Smith I need your help
Can you please share your guide. mwelasebobo@gmail.com
This house can hold 400 chickens - why do you think it cannot? The industry standard is 15 chickens per square meter - broiler farming. 9m x 3m x 15 = 405 chickens. While I amy agree with you if you said that commercial poultry farming is cruel, saying you cannot farm 400 chickens in a house this size is simply untue. Perhaps if you were less abrasive in your interactions you would not attract such a respones.
No matter which way you want to farm - raising livestock to eat will always infringe on animal rights. Are you a vegetarian - because that is the only way to not to hurt animals?
Yup - Spot on - built by South Africans
