Correct Brooding Temperature

5
  1. Solution: Maintain a temperature of 95°F (35°C) at poult level for the first week.
  2. Explanation: Use a heat lamp (red bulb preferred) securely suspended over part of the brooder. Monitor temperature with a thermometer placed at poult height. Reduce the temperature by 5°F (approx. 3°C) each week until poults are fully feathered (around 6-8 weeks) or match ambient temperature.
  3. Notes: Observe poult behavior: huddling under lamp = too cold; staying far away = too hot; evenly spread = just right.
