How to raise chicks in winter How to raise chicks

First of all, I can tell you responsibly, a chick is very difficult to survive, you might as well sell two or three, chicks like to live in groups, and it is not easy to freeze when sleeping at night, a few will be much warmer, and the body of chicks is very fragile.

Newly bought chicks are fed compound feed. It is difficult to feed millet or milled rice alone, because the nutrients are far from enough. If you go to the place where you sell chicks, you will sell that kind of chick feed, a kilogram of a pack, generally a bag of money, and the compound feed itself has been prepared with any nutrition, as long as you feed this and who every day.

When it reaches the size of a fist and a half, you can switch to millet and crushed rice, and add chopped green leaves.

Make them a medium-sized cardboard box, and if there is dry straw or other hay underneath, let them move inside. When feeding, put the feed in a small dish, get the chick out and let it step on the foam mat to eat, the floor is too cold. When the outdoor temperature is high or there is sun, you can let them out to carry out activities, if you have a cat at home or nearby, you must take care of it, cats love to eat chickens.

Remember to keep the carton dry, after they have more feces, the carton is easy to get wet, and the hay inside should be changed frequently, if there is no hay, you can use the old towels and other things. Slightly thicker. That's all.

1. Because the temperature in autumn will slowly become lower, and the temperature change is also very large. Therefore, in the autumn, the most important job is to keep the chickens living warm, and to ventilate the chicken coop. When autumn just comes, the environment is relatively harsh, and there is more rain, the chicken coop may be in a very humid state, if the chickens live in this environment for a long time, there will be a lot of diseases.

So be sure to do a good job of the chicken coop in the autumn and don't let the chickens have some diseases.

2. The weather in autumn is also relatively cool, unlike summer, which is hotter and very dry, so this time is also more suitable for chicken growth, so during this time, the appetite of chickens may be better than in summer. Slowly increase the amount of daily volume, in order to make it more normal, robust growth, so that the chicken body has more protein, in the autumn during this time, you should feed the chicken more protein-containing food, but also feed more vitamin food, so that the hen lays more eggs, so that the chicken's physical quality is better.

3. After slowly reaching autumn, friends should carefully observe the situation of chickens, especially to see what the situation of hens is. Because the hen is the most important egg-laying chicken, the physical condition of the hen at this time will directly affect the quality of the eggs laid. It is necessary to look at the amount of food eaten each day, as well as the excretion.

If the hen is found to have a disease, it should be mitigated in time. It is also necessary to pay attention to the disinfection of the chicken coop at this time, and disinfect the tools for the chickens to eat immediately, so as to avoid diseases.

4. When the hen arrives in autumn, it is also the best time to lay eggs, but at this time, the chicken's body will also have a lot of other reactions, so in the autumn, the chicken coop should be relatively quiet, not too noisy, so that the chickens lay eggs in a better environment than the cherry blossoms. If it is not necessary, try not to move in the place where you live, and if you want to go in to work, you should also be cautious, and you should also slow down and not make too much noise. And the most important thing is not to let some cats and dogs into the chicken coop, and do not let other people into the chicken coop.

Chicks need the right temperature and fresh air.

1. Suitable temperature.

The average normal body temperature of chickens is around 42. Chicks that have just come out of the shell have sparse and short fluff and poor cold resistance. Generally speaking, one-year-old chicks are suitable for temperatures of about 30, and two-week-old chicks are suitable for temperatures above 20, and after a month, they can adapt to the outdoor temperature and can move freely outside the house.

2. Fresh air.

Chicks have a high body temperature, fast breathing, and a strong metabolism, so while paying attention to keeping warm, you should also pay attention to ventilation so that the chicks can breathe fresh air. At noon on a warm sunny day, let the chicks move in the sun.

How to feed the chicks:

1. Because the digestive system of the chicks has not yet fully developed, they can not eat feed with high fiber content and less water content, and they can feed the chicks millet during this period.

2. After the chicks grow evenly, you can feed the chicks rice, cabbage and other foods. Specifically, you need to feed half-cooked rice, wash the mucus on the surface of the rice with water before feeding, and chop it finely when feeding the cabbage, so as to facilitate the pecking of chickens.

3. When the feathers of the chicks grow and plump, you can feed bread, rice, cabbage or corn paste and other foods. At this stage, rice can be served directly, without the need to be washed, and when bread and cabbage are fed, they are chopped before feeding.

4. After the chick grows and matures, its digestive system will also be fully developed, and at this stage, it will be fed with earthworms, bread worms, fly maggots and other protein feeds.
