• Layer houses are wider so the layer cages can be accessed from all sides
• layer houses are higher so that the chickens on the top tier are not too close to the roof
• Layer houses have battery cages and nipple drinkers
• Broiler houses have tube feeders and bell drinkers

Yellow door poultry house

Chicken Shack Agencies makes these poultry houses for layers, broilers and breeders. Erected and installed anywhere in South Africa – this is the easiest way to start a poultry business. The houses are welded on site using angle iron and corrugated steel sheeting which has been galvanised – you can choose to use thicker steel if you wish. The broiler poultry houses are supplied with an excellent gas heater for chickens – the Gasolec brooder (perfect for heating a chicken house), and tube feeders, bell drinkers, chick founts, chick trays, header tank, min max thermometer and winched curtains. The layer houses are fitted with layer cages, troughs and a nipple drinking system. Both of the poultry units have a winched cutain system – this is to regulate the temperature in the chicken house.

Only broiler houses need a gas heater for heating a chicken house. The yellow door poultry house comes with all the poultry equipment you need to start a chicken farming operation. Before you start with the poultry house you will need to level your land and throw a concrete slab - while a slab is not an absolute necessity – it is better to have one.

If you are applying for a loan or a government grant make sure to include the slab and the levelling of the ground in the application. Also think about fans and heaters, store room or silos for the feed. Many new poultry farmers do not do the correct due diligence when putting together a business plan – think through the whole operation – from the day the birds arrive right up until the day you must deliver. Your farm should have a security fence and some kind of road to access the chicken house. You will need water and electricity – if you have no connections you should include them in your business plan and loan or grant application - if there is no piped water in your area you will need a borehole and water tank. Bringing electricity from the road to the house is not paid for by the electrical utility – it is for you cost – your chicken house will need lights and fans – so you will need a DB board in the house. Think about how you will expand – if you put up the chicken house in the wrong place you may regret it later when you wish to put up more chicken houses. The direction the house faces is important, as is the distance between poultry houses. Try to get all the houses in a straight line so that if you later decide to put in a silo and auger it will be easy to do – no bends etc. Find out where the strongest wind comes from (known as “the wind that eats”) – and how strong it is – it may influence which direction the structures face – or you may opt for double tie downs with steel cable so the house does not blow away.

M8 Gasolec brooder

A gas heater (or brooder) will give you instant heat – unlike other form of heating.  The radiant heat allows the chicks to move in and out of the “hot spot” as they need to. With a thermostat which keeps the chicken house temperature just right – this fantastic gas heater also turns down when the temperature in the poultry house is right.

Gas heaters and gas brooders for keeping chickens warm in a poultry house.

Gas heaters for chickens are called a brooder, or brooders. These poultry heaters or chicken heaters are the best gas brooders in South Africa. Keeping chickens warm with gas heaters is one of the methods of warming a poultry house. Other methods of heating chicken houses include electrical radiant heaters and coal fired heaters called heatcos. The heatco, whilst heating with coal, still requires a fan to distribute the heat through out the house. A gas heater will heat an area instantly – although if you are placing day old chicken in a broiler house you will need to pre-heat the poultry house – the shavings need to be as warm as the rest of the house when placing – about 32 degrees C. Heating the house and the litter or shavings will take at least 24 hours to warm the whole house – so don’t leave it till the last moment. Placing day old chicks on cold shavings will increase the risks of the day old chickens dying and will also affect your growth rate later on in the cycle. gas heaters za. You should not keep the gas bottle inside the chicken house – it will just get dirty – rather run the gas pipes to the outside of the poultry house. When your day old chickens are old enough to do without heat you should take the gas heater down and clean it very well with a soft cloth and disinfectant – do not use a high pressure water sprayer on it – this will damage the thermocouple. (you would be advised to keep a spare thermocouple in your store room) – day old chicks need heat and without a constant heat of about 34 degrees C, will most likely die. Baby chicks rely on heat from their mother hens to keep warm – until they have proper feathers, and not down – they will need an external heat source. The beauty of these heaters or brooders, is that are easy to maintain – and will burn non stop for as long as you need them. Gas heaters purchased in a hardware store – the ones you use in the house, will not last – they are not meant to burn continuously for weeks on end – industrial gas heaters may be more expensive – but they will last a lot longer – and if you have a good supplier, spares will not be a problem – the supplier should also be able to service the heaters whenever you need. When you are not using them in the chicken house they work very well in your home or on your porch in winter.
