This particular project showcases a spacious, multi-tiered chicken house designed to maximize space and efficiency. Key features of the structure include:
The chicken house is constructed primarily from wood, with a metal sheet roof and wire mesh siding to ensure ventilation and protect the chickens from predators. The multi-tiered design optimizes the use of vertical space, allowing for a larger number of birds to be housed within a smaller footprint.
A wooden staircase provides easy access to the upper levels, facilitating feeding, cleaning, and egg collection.
The wire mesh walls allow for ample ventilation, crucial for maintaining air quality and regulating temperature and humidity inside the house. This design also maximizes natural light, which is beneficial for the chickens' well-being.
This building rests on the soil of Murang'a county, ideally located away from residential and industrial areas, in elevated areas with good drainage to prevent waterlogging.
The size of the house is 22.6ft (width) by 50ft (length) by 11.5ft (high). It is designed to hold 1,792 chickens with A44 cage type for each storey house.
For successful poultry farming, it's important to consider biosecurity measures and ensure the availability of essential amenities like water and electricity.
Challenges encountered during the construction of such a chicken house. These challenges often fall into several key areas:
Sourcing appropriate materials, such as wood, iron sheets, and wire mesh, was a challenging, particularly in the area where these materials were not readily available. Transporting these materials to the construction site, also presented a logistical hurdles.
Construction projects are often susceptible to weather-related delays. We undertook this work during the rainy season, whereby our working was significantly hampered.
The terrain and soil type of the construction site can pose challenges. Uneven ground required additional preparation work, to ensure structural integrity of the building was achieved.
Construction projects often face budget limitations. Unexpected expenses or cost overruns can strain financial resources and potentially compromise the quality or completion of the project.
