Chicken coops are the main equipment of modern large-scale breeding, but the characteristics of chicken coops made of different materials will be very different, which will immediately endanger the profits of chicken raising. For example, the service life of the coop, the quality of eggs, the rate of broken eggs and so on are related to the material of the coop.

If the coop material is easy to rust, the reason is that the internal humidity of the coop is large, the rusting speed of the coop will be accelerated, and the service life will be shorter. If the coop rusts, the outer shell of the egg will be contaminated with rust, harming the quality of the egg. And if the wire of the coop is not elastic, it will also increase the rate of broken eggs.

There are several kinds of materials for making chicken coop: cold galvanized, hot galvanized, electrostatic spraying, alloy wire and so on.

Cold galvanizing, also called electric galvanizing. Cold galvanized layer is thin. Two to three years of rust, six to seven years of life, is the lowest quality of all materials. Hot dip galvanized, also called hot dip zinc, hot dip galvanized layer thick, not easy to rust, high durability. It can be used for 15 to 20 years, but the defect is hot dip galvanized in the pool is not symmetrical, resulting in too many burr edges (this is also difficult in the field), it is easy to rub off the chicken feathers on the chicken body, it is also easy to poke the raw eggs just laid, resulting in high egg damage rate. Electrostatic spraying, also known as electrostatic spraying. Powder coating is used according to the attraction of high voltage electrostatic adsorption on the cage wire, will form a high corrosion resistance phosphating film between the cage wire and the coating, the coating is not easy to fall off, even if any Angle 360 degrees bending will not fall off, under the action of strong acid will not be eroded, durable. It can be used for fifteen to twenty years, because of the adsorption effect of high voltage static electricity, the surface is bright and beautiful, and there is no burr condition.

The last one, zinc magnesium alloy wire, is now recognized as a material with better performance. This material is consistent on the outside and inside, not only will not rust, but also has good ductility. Raw eggs don’t prick easily. Its defect is the cost is high.
