Chickens: Importance of Litter Temperature
#1
Here is an important discovery I made:

Quote:Chicks are unable to regulate their body temperature for the first 72-96 hours (3-4 days) after hatching. If they become chilled either through the floor/litter or other means, they become stressed. This can cause them to become immunocompromised (unable to resist diseases). Growth rate will be higher if you maintain the recommended floor temperature (weight gain will be lower if litter temperature is cooler by as little as 5oF). For birds that were chilled during transportation, you can make them perform as well as un-chilled chicks by using slightly higher brooding temperature than normal (1).

I also think that the best way to easily achieve this without much stress and hassle is by using a gas brooder.
Food for the Nation.
