Poor cold resistance. The body temperature of newly hatched chicks is 3°C lower than that of adult chickens, and it takes 10 days to reach normal body temperature. In addition, chicks have short and thin fluff and cannot protect themselves from the cold, so they are not very adaptable to the environment and must rely on artificial insulation for normal growth. development. Chicks between 1 and 30 days old must be kept warm and raised in a clean and hygienic environment.
