Description

Day-old Chicks need adequate heat, water, and bedding.
Providing them with a clean and warm place to live with easy access to clean drinking water and nutritious chick feed will result in healthy and productive chicks.
Healthy chicks are the basis for good poultry performance. Their feeding should be carried out in the morning and evening.
Their diet should contain about twenty-five per cent proteins and one per cent of calcium because of their big size.
Their water should be clean always and the water troughs should be filled more frequently during the hot season.
Their house must be constructed in a way that would protect the birds from unfavourable weather conditions and predators.
Proper ventilation must also be ensured and the floors of the house should be covered with wood shavings.
