Turks:
Even if there's part of the coal burning with fumes? You have to let the burning stop completely. You have to see the burning embers only (red charcoal without smoke). Then and only them can you take the coalpot into the brooder.

Mr turks
There is different from open broader and closing after a few minutes than open broader for brooding, remember if ur good with brooding and u open ur broader for minutes and issues arise u will know how to handle such issues but if ur just learning and u open ur broader and ur birds stampede as a beginer what do u do,
U will immediately call everyone who gave such negative advice

So to avoid stampede, cold better practice the general rules learn and the job and apply a few other things u learn as u go

There many practices I do in my farm now that are not conventional and I will never advice anyone to try it

So when brooding it's better u lite ur charcoal outside and return it inside the broader when ur becoming conversant with brooding u can lite ur charcoal in ur broader I don't open my broader and record 99% success
Cos I don't give room for cold or mistakes
If u visit AMO farm where they use gas u will understand

Turks:
Mr Neo.

Well said. Your emphasis on stampede is what I don't understand. What's the number one cause of stampede?

Lighting; among other things.

If a brood isn't well heated, the birds would cluster in order to generate body heat thereby trampling on the weak/smaller ones. A window can be left open during brooding if the temperature of the brooder is just right. The opened window won't have any negative effect on the chicks, it'll help regulate the temperature as well keep the brooder oxygenated.

I've visited AMO farms and majority of their brooding pens are automated. Very little human input. You can't compare an automated environment with the 'backyard poultry' we run out here. They brood in ten of thousands.

Turks:
This isn't healthy for your birds one bit. I hope they don't end up with respiratory disease. You weren't patient enough to observe the charcoal while it burned. If you had, you'd have noticed the portion burning and emitting smoke.

Yes. Opening the window will do a lot of good depending on the prevalent weather. If it's cold, leaving the window opened for 30mins or less should be more than enough for the smoke laden air to diffuse with the fresh incoming oxygenated air. Brooding is the most tedious part of poultry. You have to stay vigilant.
Same thing I advised, before neologe pounced me. I can still can't believe the guy abet. Emmachile told me to let it go
Arguing blindly. Gosh

Thanks
Xmas is still far just get ur broader ready
The prices of any day old fluctuates it's not steady it always go with demand
For guidiance no problem u can chat me anytime in 08135348909
My advice is target ur budget on each bird to be within 1400 to 1700 that's cost of taking care of a broiler from day old to sales the reason is that Doc cost may change and feed may also change and depending on ur management system
All the same I wish u the best as u plan

Turks:
*Turks require heat till they're 4weeks old.
*They require a higher % of crude protein so they should be on broiler Superstarter


What have you been feeding them by the way?

jfkenny:
