1. Brooding Provide a warm, safe, and draft-free environment with adequate ventilation. Use a heat source like a heat lamp or brooder to maintain a temperature of 90-100°F (32-38°C) for the first week.
2. Nutrition: Offer a high-quality starter feed specifically formulated for day-old chicks. Ensure access to fresh water at all times. Use a feeder and waterer designed for chicks to prevent waste and drowning.
3. Hygiene: Keep the brooding area clean and dry. Remove soiled bedding, clean the feeder and waterer regularly, and disinfect all equipment to prevent disease.
4. Space: Provide enough space for chicks to move around comfortably. A good rule of thumb is 1-2 square feet (0.1-0.2 square meters) per chick in the brooding area.
5. Monitoring: Keep a close eye on the chicks’ health, behavior, and development. Check for signs of stress, disease, or injury, and take prompt action if you notice any issues.
Additional tips:
– Ensure proper ventilation to prevent ammonia buildup.
– Use appropriate bedding material like wood shavings or straw.
– Provide adequate lighting, including natural light if possible.
– Avoid overcrowding, which can lead to stress and disease.
– Follow a vaccination schedule recommended by a veterinarian.
