What temperature should the brooding chicks be ?

reply
Hens normally have a body temperature of 40.6 – 41.7 degrees Celsius, while chicks have a body temperature of 39.7 degrees Celsius. Chicks grow up to sting and adjust and their body temperature gradually rises to the normal range for hens.
Therefore, when the chicks hatch from the shell, we need to take good care of them. There are some texts saying that the first two weeks of chick brooding are very important. Because it will affect the whole hen’s life ever.
Normally, the reed temperature is divided into weekly intervals as follows:

first week
Should be incubated at 32-34 degrees Celsius*
second week
Should be incubated at 30-32 degrees Celsius*

and reduce the temperature to be comparable to the environmental temperature
*This temperature is for a preliminary guide only. may consider adjusting to suit the weather and the health of chicks as the main

but in spite of this You must note that the chicks are mainly What are the symptoms? distribution in the reed If the chicks are overheating, symptoms such as standing with their mouth open, spreading their wings, running/standing away from the reed fire, etc. may need to increase the reed flame distance or reduce the reed flame or reduce the temperature. Keep the chicks evenly distributed in the brood. and cheerful, responding to stimuli such as the sound of clapping, etc.

In the suburbs, some people hold chicks’ legs by their necks or faces to measure rough temperatures. because if the chick’s legs are too cold, it means The chick’s body gets colder. Chicks have to burn food to heat up their bodies. slow growing chicks Or stomp on each other, they could die.

Healthy chicks at 26°C, on normal nose breathing, lose 1-2 g of water during the first 24 hours, and in the chick’s abdominal yolk sac, there is moisture that supports without dehydrating the chick.*

But if the chicks are too hot until gasping for breath, losing 5-10 grams of water on the first day The leg of the chick is bone-in, and the groove is clearly visible.

In addition, cases of chick broods at 28 °C for 5 days were reported to be cold and had long-term negative effects, namely development and growth.
besides the temperature air humidity The cleanliness of the feeding containers and floor coverings must be a priority.
Don’t forget to feed small but frequent meals. Wish you all good luck and good health. meet again
