Housing and Bedding
Proper housing and bedding are crucial for the health and well-being of your chicks. Make sure to provide a clean and secure coop or brooder with ample space for your growing flock. Use suitable bedding materials such as pine shavings or straw to keep them warm and dry. Regularly clean and maintain their living space to prevent the spread of diseases.
Feeding and Watering
A balanced diet is essential for the growth and development of your chicks. Provide them with a high-quality chick starter feed that is specifically formulated for young poultry. Make sure they always have access to fresh and clean water to stay hydrated. Monitor their feeding habits and adjust their diet as they mature to meet their nutritional needs.
Health and Wellness
Regular health checks and preventative care are key to keeping your chicks healthy and happy. Watch out for any signs of illness or injury and consult a veterinarian if needed. Implement biosecurity measures to prevent the spread of diseases within your flock. Handle your chicks gently and provide them with enrichment activities to promote their physical and mental well-being.
