Raising day-old chicks is an exciting yet challenging task, especially when starting with breeds that are highly resistant to diseases and adaptable to different climates, like those offered by your company. These chicks, from various breeds, come with innate immunity and can withstand temperature fluctuations—key factors for raising healthy chickens on any farm..
Creating the Ideal Environment
Newborn chicks need warmth, safety, and a clean environment to grow and thrive. Start by setting up a brooder—a small, insulated area with proper heating (a heat lamp is ideal), bedding, and access to fresh water and food. The temperature should start at 95°F and gradually decrease by 5°F each week to help them adjust to the outside conditions. Ensuring their brooder is clean and free from drafts helps prevent any diseases from developing.
Essential Nutrition
Providing proper nutrition is crucial for their growth. Use a specially formulated chick starter feed to promote healthy development. Additionally, chicks may require medication to prevent common diseases like coccidiosis. This careful approach helps lay the foundation for strong, healthy poultry that will grow into robust egg layers or broilers.
Boosting Immunity
The ability of day-old chicks to thrive in various environments is largely thanks to their genetic makeup. Your company’s chicks are bred to be disease-resistant, ensuring minimal health issues as they grow. This makes them particularly suitable for farmers in areas with limited access to veterinary care. .
