Maintain Correct Brooder Temperature

5
  1. Solution: Start the brooder temperature at 95°F (35°C) under the heat source for the first week, then reduce by 5°F (3°C) each week until reaching ambient temperature or chicks are fully feathered (around 3-4 weeks).
  2. Explanation: Observe chick behavior: huddled under heat means too cold, spread far away means too hot, evenly dispersed means temperature is good. Adjust heat source height or temperature accordingly.
  3. Notes: Use a thermometer at chick level to monitor temperature.
