The roof of the layer chicken house with 10,000 birds is made of colored steel. Color steel has good corrosion resistance. It is easy to process and shape. It has the original strength of steel plate, but low in cost. This roof is A-shaped and 672 square meters. The cost of the color steel roof is USD 6.95 per square meter and USD 4669.62 totally.

The walls depend on the local climatic conditions and the type of layer chicken house. For this open layer chicken house, we need to build a side wall of 60 cm high. The side wall can prevent snakes and rats from attacking. It can also prevent rainwater from entering the layer chicken house. We require the brick walls to be easy to clean, durable and low cost. The side wall is expected to cost USD 1437.95.

The structure and quality of the layer chicken house will affect the microclimate and hygiene in the layer chicken house, as well as the health and productivity of the chicken. The surfaces of the walls, walkways and manure ditch inside the layer chicken house should be smooth to reduce bacterial residues. Because layer chicken houses must be disinfected and washed frequently, the floor and walls must be strong and durable. We can use the cement floor. The floor thickness is 20 cm.

If use closed layer chicken house, most farmers choose high-quality durable light steel structure. The construction period of the steel structure layer chicken house is short. The requirement of foundation load is low, and cost is low. The steel structure layer chicken house has good airtightness and recycle. The layer chicken house has good heat preservation function, seismic performance and wind performance. It is also easy to clean and disinfect.

This kind of steel structure with hardened floor cement and side walls is at least USD 46.33 per square meter. Therefore, the construction cost of a closed layer chicken house is about USD 30992.31 and USD 1549.62 per year.

3.How much is the chicken battery cage?

We can use the automatic 9TLD-4128 cage equipment for the open layer chicken house, including automatic feeding,automatic drinking, automatic manure cleaning and automatic egg collecting.

The cost of the breeding includes the following aspects:

The purchase of baby chickens is USD 0.46 each. We need 10,205 chicks. It is USD 4727.53 in total. (taking into account the 2% death rate of the chicks)

In the brooding period, the amount of feed is 5.78kg/bird. If feed is USD 0.46/kg, the total charge is USD 27325.11.

In the laying period, the amount of feed is 63kg/bird. If the price of feed is USD 0.46/kg, the total charge is USD 290769.23.

The cost of the vaccine is USD 3088.37. The amount of drinking water is 1275kg, and the water bill is USD 804.23. The electricity bill is USD 1605.77. The labor cost is USD 17989.78.

Egg income of 10,000 laying hens:

10,000 chickens * 570 days laying cycle * laying rate 83% * egg price USD 0.0831/piece = USD 393146.1

Eliminated chicken income of 10,000 laying hens:

10,000 chickens*chicken meat price USD 1.70/KG*2KG/birds* full survival rate 95%=USD 32153.8
