of sheds are used for farming of chicken on commercial basis. We will briefly
discuss three types as below.
Open Shed.
These are
basic and old types of shed we can also name them Starter Shed. We can see them
usually in villages. These types of sheds are usually recommended for those
persons who are will to choose chicken farming as business, because they cost
very low(construction), easily available on rent, farming on low level normally
3000 chicks. The recommended dimensions for open shed are 100*30(100 feet
length and 30 feet width). The space required for chickens in Open shed is
1foot/Chick.

Semi Control Shed.
These types
of sheds are much better then open shed on performance basis, because they are equipped
with cooling and heating systems and also feeding and watering lines for
chicken. In this way the chances of diseases are reduced very much. These types
of sheds are cheaper then Environmental control
shed, the difference between fully controlled and semi control is of
dimensions because in semi control you can make some changes in Dimensions.
Recommended dimensions for Semi Control Shed is 200f*40f(200 feet length and 40
feet width) The space required in Semi Control shed is 0.75feet/chick.

These are
latest types of sheds, fully environment controlled and equipped with latest
equipment for cooling, heating, feeding and watering. In this shed everything
is control is by control panel in which you put the data manually i.e. temperature
requirement, ventilation control of watering and feeding systems and then it
works accordingly. Theses shed are costly but management is easy, risk factor
