Ways to protect chickens during winters

Poultry: Cull out the birds at 18 months of age or above. Prepare curtains needed for the coming winter for poultry sheds to avoid sudden downfall of temperature in the shed. Vaccinate the birds against Ranikhet disease and Fowlpox if not already done. Put paddy straw on the roof to protect the birds from cold during winter and use chaffed paddy straw mixed with rice husk as bedding material. Keep poultry sheds clean, dry, and warm. Do not store the feed beyond 15 days period.
