Chicken business is really capital and labour intensive except when you keep it as hobby or few for the family. Birds wount survive in a wet envrionment which is the only condition that brings soldierant, moreso their best major killer diseases breed fast in wet and dirty environ, besides if you dont have pen/cage for your birds and you want to keep them in an enclosed space the first step is to do the flooring, no baga soldierant can penetrate concrete.
