In an apparatus for raising chickens from hatchlings including a barn having a floor and walls there is provided a plurality of rows of feed stations arranged at spaced positions across the floor each with a feed supply line connected along the row for dispensing feed to each of the feed stations and a plurality of rows of water supply stations each with a water supply line connected along the row for dispensing water to each of the water supply stations where rows of stations are connected to a lift system for raising the stations from the floor. A first strip of biodegradable paper sheet is unrolled along the floor of the barn underneath the row of feed stations and a second strip of biodegradable paper sheet unrolled along the floor of the barn underneath the row of water supply stations where the biodegradable paper is colored with a color selected to be attractive to hatchlings, typically red.

A colony basket and method of using the same for handling poultry from DOC through the growing process and on to a production facility comprising a harvesting system, a loading system, a transport system, an unloading and storing system, hanging system and cleaning system. The system and method performs the steps of harvesting and colonizing live poultry into a singly stackable and transportable colony basket, stacking and loading the trays on a transport, unloading and temporarily storing the poultry for subsequent processing.

A farming light control system includes: one or more rows of lighting devices provided in a sealed farming environment; and an interface module. One or more lighting devices in each of the one or more rows of lighting devices connect to a first end of the interface module via a communication line. Each of the one or more rows of lighting devices includes the one or more lighting devices. Each of the one or more lighting devices includes a green light emitting diode (LED), a blue LED, and a white LED. A second end of the interface module connects to a control module. The control module connects to the one or more rows of lighting devices via the interface module. Each of the lighting devices has different-color LED particles. The light emission states of the lighting devices are automatically controlled by the control module.
