Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of poultry farming equipment, specifically relating to a mobile multi-layer laying hen house. Background Technology

[0002] Free-range chickens, also known as "wandering chickens," are raised by letting them roam freely around the coop during the day and rest there at night. Currently, raising free-range chickens in mountainous areas, orchards, woodlands, and farmlands not only makes full use of local insect and grass resources, but also increases their physical activity through free movement and pecking, accelerating their digestive system, boosting their immunity, and reducing the incidence of disease. This significantly reduces breeding costs and improves economic benefits.

[0003] With the improvement of living standards, people's demand for high-quality, healthy, safe, and delicious organic chicken and egg products is increasing, and healthy, free-range farming methods are attracting high attention from consumers. Therefore, developing the free-range chicken industry can achieve a win-win situation for both ecological and economic benefits.

[0004] Existing free-range chicken houses mostly adopt traditional structures, which have many drawbacks such as failing to create a three-dimensional space suitable for grouping free-range chickens, chicken manure easily accumulating, affecting the breeding environment, being inconvenient to move, being difficult to discharge and utilize chicken manure, and being inconvenient to collect eggs. Utility Model Content

[0022] This utility model has the following advantages due to the adoption of the above technical solution:

[0023] 1. The mobile multi-layer chicken coop provided by this utility model differs from the traditional chicken coop structure fixed to the ground. Its wheels allow farmers to move the coop periodically or irregularly as needed, facilitating the control of the chicken flock's spatial and temporal distribution. Regularly moving the coop can relocate the flock, preventing free-range chickens from staying in the same location for extended periods and ensuring even distribution of chicken manure across the free-range area. This facilitates the adjustment and control of the chicken flock in free-range areas, avoiding ecological damage caused by long-term occupation of the same site. This chicken coop is primarily suitable for free-range chicken farming and facilitates egg collection.

[0024] 2. The mobile multi-layer egg-laying hen house provided by this utility model can be set up as a multi-layer structure through a wire mesh frame to form a three-dimensional space, so that a single hen house can accommodate more chickens; for example, it can accommodate 100-1000 chickens, which improves the hen house's capacity and space utilization efficiency.

[0025] 3. The movable multi-layer laying hen house provided by this utility model allows chickens to defecate on each layer of the wire mesh, which then falls through the mesh into the sludge collection funnel or directly onto the ground, effectively preventing the feces from falling onto the chickens. At the same time, it promotes the collection of chicken feces on the ground below the chicken house, making it convenient for farmers to handle the feces.

[0026] 4. The movable multi-layer laying hen house provided by this utility model effectively divides the three-dimensional space through a sludge collection funnel, forming multiple roosting and laying rooms. This ensures that the hen house can accommodate a certain number of free-range chickens while effectively dividing the flock within the same hen house into multiple smaller groups. This guarantees that each free-range chicken has a certain area of ​​space within the hen house for roosting or laying eggs. At the same time, effectively dividing the flock within the same hen house into multiple smaller groups can minimize stress reactions in the flock and avoid crushing deaths. Furthermore, it effectively reduces external interference and pressure, creating a relatively quiet and comfortable laying environment for the laying hens, allowing free-range chickens to lay eggs in a concentrated manner, effectively solving the problem of free-range chickens laying eggs everywhere in the free-range space.

[0027] 5. The movable multi-layer laying hen house provided by this utility model is equipped with ladders inside, which allow free-range chickens to move freely between different layers, thus ensuring the free movement space for free-range chickens.

[0028] 6. The movable multi-layer laying hen house provided by this utility model has a wire mesh frame that can be tilted from the middle to both sides, so that after free-range chickens lay eggs in the roosting and laying area, the eggs roll along the slope to the egg bin, thereby preventing the eggs from being contaminated by feces while remaining in the roosting and laying area, and making it easier for farmers to pick up the eggs; in addition, the egg bin cover can protect the eggs from rain and other adverse effects, and can also prevent small wild animals from entering the chicken house and causing the death of chickens.

[0029] 7. The movable multi-layer laying hen house provided by this utility model can be equipped with a roof, thereby forming a water storage room. It is convenient to connect the water storage room and nipple drinkers through water pipes to provide drinking water for free-range chickens moving in the hen house. In addition, the shape of the roof can beautify the hen house, and the roof can also be used to reinforce the hen house and prevent water accumulation.

[0030] 8. The movable multi-layer chicken coop provided by this utility model can be equipped with a coop door and a door lock; after all the chickens have returned to the coop, the farmers can lock the coop, effectively protecting the chickens that roost in the coop at night from the harm of wild animals and ensuring property safety; in addition, the coop can also be equipped with an automatically opening and closing door, which can automatically open and close the door at timed intervals, reducing the labor intensity of farmers.

[0039] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0040] Example

[0041] Please refer to the reference. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The movable multi-layer laying hen house provided in this embodiment includes a frame 2, a door 5, wheels 1, a wire mesh frame 3, egg storage bins 10, and a waste collection funnel 9. The frame 2 is a multi-layer box type, made of galvanized square tubing, with dimensions of 2m × 3m. Egg outlets are opened on the side walls of the frame 2. The door 5 is installed on the side walls of the frame 2. The wheels 1 are installed at the bottom of the frame 2. The wire mesh frame 3 is installed in the frame 2. The space inside the frame 2 is divided into at least two layered spaces by the wire mesh frame 3. Adjacent layered spaces are connected by ladders 4. The middle of the wire mesh frame 3 is higher than both ends, that is, its ends are inclined downwards and extend out of the frame 2 through the egg outlets, and egg storage bins 10 are set at the ends of the wire mesh frame 3. The waste collection funnel 9 is funnel-shaped. The waste collection funnel 9 is installed in the layered spaces, with the bottom of the waste collection funnel 9 in the upper layered space located above the top of the waste collection funnel 9 in the lower layered space. The layered spaces are horizontally divided into roosting and laying rooms 8 by the waste collection funnel 9.

[0042] The movable multi-layer laying hen house of this embodiment divides the interior of the frame 2 into multiple vertically distributed layered spaces through the mesh frame 3. Each layered space is further divided into roosting and egg-laying rooms 8 by the waste collection funnel 9, thus forming a three-dimensional space suitable for group raising of free-range chickens. The inclined slope of the mesh frame 3 facilitates the sliding of eggs into the egg bins 10 outside the frame 2 for easy collection. The inclined ladder 4 allows chickens to move freely between different layers. The waste collection funnel 9 facilitates the discharge of chicken manure from the mesh frame 3 into the hen house. The wheels 1 facilitate the movement of the hen house, which helps to expand the activity range of free-range chickens and also makes it easier to evenly distribute chicken manure into the soil of the free-range space.

[0043] Since chickens have a brooding habit, they can be domesticated in the early stages of free-range farming. Once domesticated, chickens will naturally choose their brooding spot and go to the chicken coop or the egg-laying room to lay eggs.

[0044] The height of each layer of space can be set to 400-500mm according to actual needs. The angle between the space frame 3 and the horizontal plane can be 3-6°.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, an egg compartment cover 11 is further provided on the egg compartment 10, and one end of the egg compartment cover 11 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the frame 2.

[0046] For example, the egg compartment 10 is surrounded by baffles on three sides, and one end of the egg compartment cover 11 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the frame 2 via a hinge.

[0047] Specifically, the bottom end of the other side of the egg compartment cover 11 contacts the top edge of the egg compartment 10.

[0048] Specifically, the egg compartment cover 11 is configured as an inclined plate that slopes downward toward the other end.

[0049] In other embodiments, the egg compartment cover 11 has a U-shaped structure and is slidably disposed on the egg compartment 10. The two sides of the egg compartment cover 11 are fastened inside the egg compartment 10 and contact the inner walls of the two side walls of the egg compartment 10. When taking out an egg, the egg compartment cover 11 can be pushed inward to take out the egg. When pulled outward, it can cover the egg compartment 10.

[0050] Furthermore, a ladder 4 is installed within the frame 2, connecting adjacent layered spaces.

[0051] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, specifically, the left and right side walls of the frame 2 are respectively equipped with hatch doors 5, and the front and rear side walls are respectively opened with egg-laying openings; the ladder 4 is set between two adjacent layers of the frame 2 with a slope of 40-45°, and the width of the ladder 4 is along the left and right direction; the front and rear sides of the net frame 3 are respectively provided with downward sloping ramps, and the front and rear ends of the net frame 3 extend out of the frame 2 through the egg-laying openings.

[0052] Among them, the front and back directions respectively refer to Figure 1 The left and right directions are shown, and the left and right directions respectively refer to Figure 2 The left and right directions are shown.

[0053] For example, two filth collection funnels 9 are set in the layered space respectively, and the two filth collection funnels 9 are set on both sides of the ladder 4 respectively, so that the layered space forms a perching and laying room 8 on the outer part of the two filth collection funnels 9 respectively; the bottom ends of the perching and laying room 8, that is, the front and rear ends of the net frame 3, extend out of the frame 2 through the egg outlet and form an egg chamber 10.

[0054] The egg storage 10 is formed by the extended wire mesh 3 and frame 2 to form a rectangular space. The egg storage cover 11 is a rectangular cover that can rotate up and down and covers the egg storage 10. It can protect the eggs from wind and sun and also prevent small wild animals from entering the chicken coop.

[0055] Depending on the climate conditions of the free-range area, steel can be used for frame 2, netting can be used for mesh frame 3, and board can be used for the gate 5.

[0056] like Figure 1 As shown, a canopy 7 is further provided on the top of the frame 2. A water storage room 12 is provided inside the canopy 7.

[0057] The roof 7 can be configured as a pointed structure to form a water storage room 12, where a water tank or water bag can be placed. Water lines and nipple drinkers can be installed inside the chicken house. For example, a water tank can be placed above the water storage room, with a water line connected to the outside of the tank. The water line is tied to the mesh frame 3 with straps, and the nipple drinkers are embedded in the water line. The water line can be configured as a water pipe.

[0058] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, specifically, the top of the sludge collection funnel 9 is connected to the bottom surface of the upper layered space, that is, the top of the sludge collection funnel 9 is connected to the upper mesh frame 3. This facilitates the concentrated and targeted falling of chicken manure from the upper sludge collection funnel 9 into the lower sludge collection funnel 9, until it falls to the ground. At the same time, the sludge collection funnel 9 connects to the mesh frame 3 on the top surface of the layered space, thus dividing the layered space and preventing excessive concentration of chickens in local areas.

[0059] like Figure 1 As shown, specifically, there are four wheels 1 arranged in a rectangular pattern; at least two mesh frames 3 are arranged vertically; one end of the door 5 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the frame 2, and the other end is connected to the side wall of the frame 2 via a door lock 6.

[0060] In addition, the shed door 5 can also be an automatically opening and closing door using existing technology, which can automatically open and close the shed door at timed intervals, reducing the labor intensity of the breeding staff.

[0061] For example, if the net frame 3 is set to five, then the frame 2 is divided into four layers from bottom to top. In use, approximately 600 free-range chickens are placed in the chicken coop. After dawn, the farmers open the coop door 5, and the chickens leave the coop to roam freely in the free-range space, foraging for food resources such as grass seeds and insects. During this time, water and feed can be provided as needed, and eggs can be collected promptly. After dark, the chickens return to the coop to roost due to their brooding instinct, and the farmers close the coop door 5 and lock the door lock 6. During use, the farmers observe changes in the soil and vegetation around the coop and the accumulation of chicken manure below the coop. The coop can be moved to a different location as needed, or it can be moved periodically. The chicken manure under the coop quickly integrates into the soil through the scratching of the free-range chickens; it can also be manually removed or mixed into the soil.

[0062] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
