The key to management Chick

Place chicks with similar maternal age in the same house (if you need to mix different
Source chicks, then the age difference is up to 5 weeks).
• The arrival of chicks on the farm should comply with the "all in, all out" requirement.
• If the transportation time is long, the chicks will lack water, resulting in higher chick mortality and reduced
The growth rate.
• Ideal conditions must be provided for the chicks during transportation, and the shorter the transportation time, the better
it is good. (Refer to Cobb Hatching and Optimal Broiler Development Guidelines).
• Reduce the light intensity when entering the chicks to reduce the stress response, and keep the chicks until the end of the entry
calm.
• The chicks must be placed carefully and evenly distributed in feed and water throughout the brooding area. When
When feeding with extra opening paper, place the chicks on the paper.

Weigh 5% of the chick box to calculate the chick body
weight.
• After the chicks are all placed, adjust the light intensity
To the maximum (minimum 25 lux).
• After the chicks have adapted for 1-2 hours, check all systems,
Make adjustments if necessary.
• Closely observe the distribution of chicks in the first few days. If there is
Problems with food, drinking water, ventilation or heating,
The distribution of the chicks will show up.

The quality of hatching has a huge impact on the effectiveness of commercial broiler breeding. From egg hatching to chick entering the chicken farm is a stressful process. Therefore, to ensure the good quality of the chicks
Efforts must be made to minimize the stress on the chicks.

Characteristics of good quality chicks
• The fluff is dry, long and fluffy
• Eyes are round, bright and energetic
• Looks active and vigilant
• Umbilical cord healed intact
