How To Prepare Your Brooding Space And Care For Your Doc by MasExcel19(m): 1:07pm On Mar 29, 2017
- first I want to assume that u already have a cage or a brooding space like a room etc

- if u already have the above then u must clean and sanitise the place at least 2 days before the birds arrive. So that all insecticides and chemicals used must have evaporated.

- u will need to also spread wood shavings on the floor of the room or cage. Pls don't use saw Mill. I am referring to those ones that are like dust. The reason why u shouldn't use that is because the birds can feed on them and it affect their growth eventually. Also, it doesn't collect the droppings of the birds enough. Most times the saw Mill is for free while the wood shavings is sold at a cost. Pls dnt use the big wood shavings too. Use something moderate the birds can't feed on but can still feel comfortable matching and sleeping on.

- the morning to the arrival of ur birds, u seal up the room or cage as the case may be and put ur charcoal stoves. Ur charcoal stove however must be raised and the sides covered with blocks to avoid the birds flying or crawling in to the fire. Ur birds will be able to fly from 2-3 days. The fire will make the room warm and then u can bring out ur birds one by one from the Cartoon and drop them in the cage house. Make sure water and feed are already placed for the birds. It is also advisable to put an extra light in the room so the birds can be able to see more since their vision is poor at this stage.

- the water u put for them should have vitamins and drugs in it.

- pls don't go far away from the birds. At this time they need intensive care. So u will have to check on them like 5 - 10min just after u put them in the cage.

- observe how they are fearing.
- If they gather around the fire source, it means that the fire isn't enough for them and u need to increase heat. This usually happens during the cold weather

-If they are far apart and sparsely dispersed it means that the fire is too much and u have to ventilate the room. Usually in weather conditions such as we have now u may not even need a heat source.

-If u find them lying down and breathing heavily then ventilate the room

-if u find them playing and feeding then the temperature is ok for them and u only need to check then may be hourly.

- if u see them just clustered and u are sure the temperature is ok for them then u have to space the feeders and drinkers apart and use ur hands to scatter them. If u don't do this they would match on themselves and can lead to death.

- pls if u are using cage as brooding space be careful how u prepare the fire source so that d zinc or wood dnt get too hot especially if ur cage is up nd dwn type. If u place d fire under, the heat will affect the ones on top. U can use logic for this tho.

Good luck
