Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention is directed to a small number of "chicks".
The present invention relates to a chick breeding device for easily raising chicks such as parent birds instead of parent birds.

[0001]

2. Description of the Related Art Chicken "chicks" are very cute, and raising them is considered to be sufficiently useful for emotional education of children, but it is very difficult to actually raise them. “Chicks” are often sold at festival stalls, and children buy them, but often die on that day.

[0002] Chicken-breeding so-called amateurs are more likely to die of "chicks" because of the "warmth" of parent birds and the prevention of chicks from drying out. Ensuring the "environment" is not enough. In such a case, it is sufficient to use a chick-raising device equipped with sufficient facilities, as in a recent poultry farm. Because of the breeding of feathers, such a large one is not only unnecessary, but after two to three weeks it is nothing but disturbing garbage.

[0003] In addition, the chicken "chick" does not need to eat food for about 48 hours after hatching because it has nutrients in itself, but if the above-mentioned temperature and humidity are insufficient, It can easily die, and how to maintain these temperatures and humidity is the key to growing "chicks". As for the temperature, as is well known, an incandescent lamp may be wrapped in cloth or the like and used as a heater, but it is easy to heat, and if there is no escape for the "chick", it will die due to the heat. It's hard to turn off the switch.

[0004] Humidity needs to be about 60% to 80% until about 60 hours after the chicks hatch. In other words, a hatched chick requires relatively high humidity, and the larger the size, the better the indoor humidity. The adjustment is difficult because it is an invisible matter.

[0005] The above facts can be generally applied to chicks of other birds, and care must be taken when raising chicks after talking from their parents.

[0006] In particular, the applicants have
The chickens are raised from chicks, and the garbage that comes out of the home when they grow to some extent is used as part of the feed, and ultimately, as part of garbage disposal and fresh egg acquisition, as part of emotional education for children and the vitalization of the elderly, Has developed a system that aims at five birds per stone, such as using dung as compost for a vegetable garden, but it must go through the first stage of raising "chicks" there. Moreover, unlike a poultry farm, ordinary households do not have facilities, and even more, it is more difficult for chick rearing equipment that has been bred to become garbage as early as possible.

The inventor of the present invention has sought to raise a few chicks in an ordinary household without fail, and how to make a chick breeder that can be discarded as ordinary household garbage after breeding. As a result of various studies, the present invention has been completed.

[0008]

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned actual condition of the chick breeding apparatus, and the problem to be solved is to enable chicks such as chicks to be easily bred. It is to be a breeding device.

That is, first, an object of the invention according to claim 1 is to provide a chick growing machine which can provide sufficient temperature and humidity to chicks that have just hatched and can grow chicks easily and reliably. Is to provide.

The object of the invention according to claim 2 is to achieve the same object as that of the above-mentioned claim 1, and to make the growth of the chicks visible from the outside without removing the lid. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a chick raising device.

[0011]

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, first, means according to the first aspect of the present invention will be described with reference numerals used in the following description of embodiments. “A main body 10 that is formed in a substantially box shape with an upper opening, and that divides a playground 10 a and a heat insulation room 10 b by a partition wall 11, and a lid 5 that covers the upper opening of the main body 10.
And a floor member 20 having a large number of vents 21 to 21 in a playground 10a and a heat insulation room 10b, respectively.
Under the floor member 20 on the side a, a water-absorbing material 30 for naturally evaporating the retained water is arranged, and under the floor member 20 on the side of the warming room 10b, an electric heater 40 is arranged. 10
a breeding apparatus characterized in that an intake port 51 for introducing outside air and an exhaust port 52 for exhausting the heat retaining chamber 10b are provided in respective portions located above the heat retaining chamber 10a and the heat retaining chamber 10b.

That is, the chick growing apparatus 10 according to the first aspect.
0 covers the upper opening of the main body 10 which is divided into a playground 10a and a warm room 10b with a lid 50 to protect the chick 200 in the playground 10a or the warm room 10b from other animals such as cats. It was made. In addition, the chick growing apparatus 100 is configured such that the chick 200 obtains food and water from the feeder 81 and the water feeder 82 in the playground 10a, and also warms the chick 200 in the heat insulation room 10b. is there.

[0013] In this chick-growing apparatus 100, the playground 1
As shown in FIG. 2, a water-absorbing material 30 such as a towel or tissue paper containing water is stored under the floor member 20 on the 0a side, so that moisture naturally evaporated from the water-absorbing material 30 is removed. As shown by a dotted arrow in FIG. 2, the temperature inside the main body 10 is controlled to be 60 to 80% by entering the playground 10a from each ventilation hole 21 of the floor member 20. On the other hand, an electric heater 40 is arranged below the floor member 20 on the side of the heat retaining room 10b, and by the operation of the electric heater 40, the temperature in the heat retaining room 10b is equivalent to that when the parent bird is just embraced by the parent bird. It is made to become.

Of course, a partition wall 11 having an opening 11a is arranged between the playground 10a and the heat insulation room 10b.
The chick 200 can freely enter and leave another room through the opening 11a, and can freely move to an environment according to his / her preference.

When the electric heater 40 in the heat insulation room 10b is operated, the floor member 20 itself becomes warm,
As indicated by a two-dot chain line in the middle, hot air from below the floor member 20 rises into the heat insulation room 10b through the ventilation holes 21 of the floor member 20, and the entire inside of the heat insulation room 10b is warmed. At this time, natural convection of air occurs in the heat retaining room 10b, and due to the natural convection due to the rise of the warmed air, a part of the air in the heat retaining room 10b is changed as shown by a solid line arrow in FIG. , An exhaust port 52 formed in the lid 50
Is discharged from the chick breeding apparatus 100 and the playground 10
Fresh air is supplied into the playground 10a from the introduction port 51 on the side of the lid body 50 located on the side a.

Therefore, the chick breeding apparatus 100 according to claim 1 is provided.
Sets the temperature required for chicks such as chicks 200
0b, and the humidity required for the chicks can be ensured in a natural state by the water-absorbing material 30. Even though the configuration is very simple, the food is fed outside after hatching. The chicks such as the chick 200 can be sufficiently grown until they grow to be able to pinch.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a means adopted by the invention according to claim 2 is that the chick-breeding apparatus 100 according to claim 1 is described as “a playground 10a and a heat insulation room 10b of a lid 50.
A viewing window 60 covered with a transparent material 61 is formed in each of the upper portions, and an introduction port 51 is formed in the viewing window on the playground 10a. "

That is, the breeding apparatus 100 according to claim 2
Is a view window 6 for covering the upper opening of the main body 10 with a lid 50 so that the inside of the main body 10 can be easily seen from the outside.
The transparent material 6 is formed on the view window 60.
By attaching 1, the chick is prevented from escaping outside and cats and the like are not allowed to attack the chicks inside.

Therefore, the chick breeding apparatus 100 according to claim 2
Not only can the necessary temperature and humidity be given to the chicks without parent birds immediately after hatching, but also the chicks can be observed from the viewing window 60 without removing the lid through each transparent material 61, It is clear that it is possible to clearly grasp the timing of feeding and water supply, and if it is placed indoors, it will be the focus of children's attention.

Incidentally, the breeding apparatus 100 according to the present invention comprises:
It has been developed as one of the facilities for breeding chickens from the freshly hatched chick 200 until they produce eggs. For this reason, the breeding apparatus 100 is made of a material which can be folded, not only the main body 10 but also the floor member 20 and the lid 50. In the following embodiments, a so-called cardboard board is used as a material. After the chicks arrive, they are assembled into a box.

If the chicks such as the chick 200 grow to a certain extent, the range of action must be widened. However, even if the chick 200 becomes large, the chick breeding apparatus 100 that has grown so far may be regarded as a “nest”. Then, as shown in FIG. 3, if a base 70 for removing the lid 50 and putting it inside is placed, the chick growing apparatus 100 is roosted. Of course, the chick 200
Should be able to get in and out freely. In making this notch, it is important that the main body 10 is formed of a cardboard board because the work is facilitated.

When the chick 200 has grown sufficiently and can be put in an outside poultry house, the chick growing apparatus 100 becomes unnecessary. At that time, it is sufficient to disassemble the chick 200 in the reverse order of the initial assembly. . In addition, since the chick breeding apparatus 100 is made of a cardboard board, the disassembled one can be discarded as so-called “household garbage”.
