Raising chicks seems easy, but it's actually not simple. Why do some people buy chickens and die within a few days, but some people raise them alive and cute, day and night. It's not that there's any mystery in it, it's that the chick physiology and growth laws have not been mastered.
Let's talk about what aspects should be paid attention to in order to raise chickens well. 1.Chick selection Chick selection is a prerequisite for whether you can raise chicks well.
Healthy chicks have neat and dry fluff, normal body shape, good umbilicus, no sagging abdomen, big eyes, shiny howls and feet, crisp calls, sensitive and flexible to the surrounding environment, and a feeling of struggle when held lightly by hand. As long as this kind of chick is properly raised and managed, it must grow very well. Unhealthy chick feathers are too long or too short, some are curly, the end of the fluff is burned, or dirty and unclean, the eyes are small and unfocused, the umbilicus is not well healed, there are blood umbilicus, line umbilicus, nail umbilicus and other appearances, the abdomen is large but not soft (commonly known as big belly), the light grip is inelastic, the toe claws are curled and not extended, and the taste or is deformed.
Most of these chicks have difficulty growing properly. 2.Temperature Proper temperature is a necessary condition for raising good chicks.
The chick hatches at a temperature of 100-103'F, and because it cannot play a role in regulating the temperature, it must be maintained at a certain temperature in the chicken house to suit the needs of the chicks. Otherwise, the chicks cannot adapt and are prone to illness or death. The most suitable temperature for chicks depends on the breed, such as broiler breeders, in the first two days, 95of is appropriate; If it is an egg chicken, 90'F is appropriate.
This temperature refers to the temperature ,.. at the center of the heat source

Before breeding chicks, it is necessary to select clean and pollution-free cartons as breeding tools, and then prick five to six holes on both sides of the inner wall of the carton to play a breathable role, and then spread a layer of shredded paper to the bottom of the carton to keep warm, and finally cover a layer of old newspaper above the shredded cardboard.
2. Chicken breed selection
When breeding chicks, we should choose lively chicks, like to grab other chicks food, like to fly out of the chicks, and can not choose very quiet, do not like to shout, will not compete for food chicks, this kind of chicks grow poorly, affecting the growth of other chicks.
3. Feeding management
In the early stage of raising chicks, put the millet into a bowl with warm water, soak for half an hour and pour out two-thirds of the water, and then give the remaining millet to the chicks to eat, after a period of time the chicks will become slender, at this time to supplement them with cabbage, rice, bread and other foods.
4. Suitable temperature
The average normal body temperature of chickens is around 42. 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.
5. The air should be fresh
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.
