The kerosene lantern you're using is one of the major reasons for their CRD And please remove that tray, they are now older than that. Their food should be clean, so use the aluminium feeder 8 Likes |

Hallams: Ultima is not a fine feed for day old brooding. Chikun works better. Has more nutrients for muscle mass and bone activity. Ultima serves on the same level as Vital feed. 16 Likes 1 Share |

Yeah it's quite nice but I think you really need to consider feeding costs before deciding on the number of chicks you need to brood so as avoid stories that touches the heart. From what I could observe from the above data, the competition amongst them is really high, within a while now they'll start having insufficient feed supply and that will really affect their growth and health. I'm brooding mine too but the quantity is just like half of what you stocked, but they are doing very fine, no death recorded so far and they are 12 days old. 6 Likes |

So they don't like cold environments I thought they need ventilation to survive. |

- Putting feed on the bare litter material for day old chics to "snack" on was and is a poultry practice that defies logic. If those birds were not properly vaccinated from the hatchery, you'd have had more deaths for that very mistake. - Tray feeders are no longer advisable for brooding. The idea of chics stooling in their feed and pecking in it, is partly responsible for early coccidiosis. There are modified chic feeders that are price friendly. - Even if electricity cannot be afforded, kerosene lamps are bad for chics. They're very contributory to Chronic respiratory disease. Small solar lights are serving that purpose now. - You're wasting medications with the amount of water you're using for your brooding. One drinker of water is enough to meet any round of watering for all 200 chics. A tablespoon of medicine in a drinker, stirred, then shared into other drinkers can serve the purpose, since the water gets replaced three times daily. - Your vaccination process is a bit worrisome, especially looking at that black container you're mixing it in, which is the same you use to wash drinkers. You're setting yourself up for fowl typhoid, and believe me, that's one illness that 80percent of inorganic veterinary medicines cannot treat. - Agreeably, heat is important to regulate their temperature, but be certain to properly ventilate that brooding pen whenever the sun starts to come up. Circulation of that "smokey" heat not only causes CRD, but hampers proper growth. 48 Likes 5 Shares |

My chicks are from Olam(Chikum) and their feeds also Chikum. Still less than two weeks old but bigger than your above chicks. I'm not capping, just an update I'm not trying to advertise any company but try Olam(Chikum) products next time and the results will speak for you. Also feeds are really costly now so try going for the quantity of chicks you can afford to feed at a time to avoid stories that touches the heart. 8 Likes |

Nice but I have some observations bed on your pictures. Stop using lantern for them and make sure your charcoal does not have dusts. By now once they have wings they need fresh air. You over-covered their house I have 100 that am breeding presently including 5 Turkey 2 Likes |

zhirkovrado: Agrited chics are way better than Olam. If you're having good sizes, it's all down to your feeding commitment and level of attention. Chikun makes good feed, but they don't hatch quality chics. 3 Likes |
