JP2002335800A - Chicken-raising cage moving on grass - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for saving labor of weeding a lawn or a garden, that is, to make a chicken root out weeds on the lawn or in the garden like a Spot-billed Duck roots out weeds in a paddy field. SOLUTION: A moving cage with casters but without the bottom. The cage has a roof consisting of a two-folded galvanized sheet iron, and it is surrounded with a net which even a large sized dog can not break. Soft pipes are placed between the net and the ground. A nest box is placed on a mezzanine, feed is supplied through an automatic feeder made of a vertical pipe, and water is automatically supplied with a PET-bottle. By spring up a stair to the nest box, the chicken is confined in a low-ceiling room so that early crowing is inhibited.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The technical field of biological weeding belongs to livestock agriculture.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art There are various methods of mowing lawn depending on the area of lawn. There are scythes, manual clippers, hand mowers, electric lawn mowers, lawn mowers with engines, disk mowers, and methods of rotating and cutting strong threads. The cut grass is collected with a broom and incinerated or composted.

[0003]

If there is a lawn garden in a mansion or a factory site, the lawn must be trimmed with a lawn mower or scythe, which requires labor for lawn mowing. The roots of plants that cannot be used with a lawn mower must be removed by hand.
After the early summer, the work is overtaken, and in the case of labor shortage, the mental burden is great.

[0004]

Means for solving the problems If a chicken can be used for lawn mowing and weeding in such a place, human labor can be saved and mental pain can be relieved.

If the chickens are left free, the grass that grows between the lawns and under the hedges is eliminated. However, to maintain its function continuously, it creates a cage that protects the chickens working there from external enemies, and the cage can move freely, in which high quality water and food are automatically supplied, and rain and cold and hot You must protect the chicken, have a nest box where you can rest and sleep at night, and have a function to open the chicken.

[0006] If the main purpose is weeding, among the chickens, the ostrich chicken is the most suitable. Eat the weeds that germinate between the lawns and trim the lawns. Eat the weeds that grow between the ground covers. I do not eat the ground cover itself.
Most of the soft grass that grows under hedgerows is eaten. Many types of insects eat well.

[0007]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION One or two small chickens, represented by the ostrich, are placed in a moving cage of the present invention, and three to six chicks are bred while being moved on the grass.

[0008] If a male screams loudly in the early morning near a residential area, it may have a mechanism to prevent it if it interferes with sleep.

[0009] The moving cage allows a person to move on grassland with a light force.

[0010]

FIG. 1 is a perspective view for explaining the present invention, and FIG.
Indicates the state of implementation in a cross section.

The moving cage has three or four casters 11. The roof is made of folded tins, one of which is fixed and the other is openable. The side walls of the cage are covered with a net that does not allow the chicks to come out.

A soft pipe 12 is fixed in a gap between the bottom and the ground. This is because it is not an accident to pinch a chick by mistake while operating Cage.

Since the bottom of the moving cage is a space where chickens eat grass and exercise, it is desirable to take up as much space as possible. Therefore, the hive 23 is loaded on the mezzanine floor.

The mezzanine box on the mezzanine floor and the ground are connected by a stair 41, and when the chicks are two weeks old, the chicks can go up to the mezzanine floor by the call of the parent chicken.

The birdhouse has a structure that can be easily attached and detached so that cleaning and repair are easy.

If a bent joint is connected to the end of the pipe for piping 31 and another pipe 32 slidably inscribed in the pipe is assembled by cutting the tip of the pipe 32 at an angle, and the inner surface of the bent joint can be opened and closed. Squeeze and drop the bait into the tube. The slanted tip always has a gap of about 10 mm, and the bait put in the tube spills out, but does not come out much in the stationary state. It comes out when the chicken bites it. Lifting the tube and turning it slightly increases the gap and increases the amount of food falling.

When a wide-mouthed plastic bottle or a 1-liter milk bottle containing food is placed upside down on a cylinder full of food, the food is connected and fed automatically for 4 to 5 days. You can also observe the food being reduced.

[0018] The mezzanine floor is made of plywood, and around the dropping area there is a hole of about 12 mm in diameter about every 3 cm. . The chickens fall from the ground when they peek at the holes that are blocked with food.

The water supply device 21 is located just below the ground so that the chicks can reach it. When the chicken drinks the water from the water supply, the water is automatically replenished from the plastic bottle. This is a wet holder 22
This is an application of (Application No. 2000-30001614, H120929).

Since the chicks up to two weeks after birth cannot reach the water supply device having a height of 5 cm, the ceramic watering device dedicated to the chicks is suspended.

When the chickens return to the birdhouse after sunset, the stairs 41 to the mezzanine floor can be flipped up. The next morning, when the male tries to cry, his neck touches the ceiling and his throat is not widened enough to make it loud. After 7 o'clock in the morning, the noise level in the city rises, so loud voices do not bother.
At that time, lower the stairs.

When there is no fear of being attacked by an external enemy, open one side of the cage and open it. There is a one-touch stay on the side of the cage.
When the centimeter is raised and lowered, the cage is tilted and fixed by the operation of the stopper. When closing, lift the cage slightly to release the stopper and reach the ground.

The packing volume is about 0.1 square meter, consisting of four welded wire mesh frames, stoppers, folded tin roofs, cardboard boxes to serve as nest boxes, punch boards, stairs, water supply devices and feeders, and a total weight. Is about 20 kilograms.

[0024] Bolts and screws are attached, and even a layman can assemble with a general-purpose wrench or screwdriver.

[0025]

According to the present invention, a lawnmower becomes unnecessary.

[0026] The sense that weeds growing under hedges are taken as chicken food, not as an obstacle, enriches life.

If weeds in vacant lots that are subject to real estate trading are not harvested, their seeds will be annoying in the neighborhood. Rivers are contaminated by spraying defoliants. Moving cage solves that problem.

The purpose of the present invention is not to produce eggs, but eggs which are useful for improving the health of the chickens, and especially eggs which are useful for improving the health of the chickens, and especially chickens which have high medicinal properties, if the environment where the chickens can live comfortably are prepared. Is provided.

It promotes the first experience of natural egg poultry raising and provides a starting point for poultry farm management.

[0030] Chicken, especially crow bone chicken, can be easily reared as if it were a home garden.

The pleasure of breeding pets can be enjoyed and stress can be alleviated.

[0032] Since they are abundantly fed with green food and live insects, they grow into healthy chickens.

Since green food and live insects are abundantly provided, the consumption of the compound feed is one-half or one-third that of a flat house.

The automatic feeder feeds the food without worrying about being away for a few days, and does not waste the food, so that only half the feed amount of the sowing is required.

The growth of chicks is faster than that of flat breeding.
