1. After the chicks are hatched in the hatchery or naturally hatched, if a drying room is available, the chicks can be brooded on multiple levels in the drying room. If there is no drying room and the number of broods is not very large at first, 40 to 60 watt light bulbs can be used to irradiate and heat the chicks in separate boxes.

2. In addition to dry feeding in summer and autumn, feed can be mixed with warm water in spring and winter. The chicks must be carefully observed when they first enter the box to keep them warm. If you find that the chicks keep opening their mouths, it means that the temperature inside the box is high, and you can put the light bulb upward. If the chicks are huddled together and keep calling, it means the temperature is low, and you should put the light bulb downward.

3. Prevent sudden power outages. If there is a sudden power outage for 1 to 2 hours in early spring or winter, the chicks will freeze to death. For this reason, a small 3-watt chandelier should be installed at ordinary times, and the light should be left on day and night. If there is a sudden power outage, the chicks can be placed in another cardboard box with a hot water bottle underneath and torn cotton on top. Keep warm and cover tightly. When the call comes, place the chicks in the original brooding box to keep them warm.

4. Do not expose the chicks to the scorching sun. Do not expose the chicks to the sun in summer and autumn when the temperature is high in order to save electricity bills. Otherwise, it will die quickly. In summer and autumn, you can bask in the sun for about 10 minutes every morning. In winter and spring, if water supply is guaranteed, put it in the sun, but you must also strengthen observation and make timely adjustments.

5. Avoid moisture in the box. Always replace the straw in the box and use another carton. The original carton should be dried in the sun to ensure that the box is dry and not moist to prevent the chicks from getting sick or ammonia. and carbon monoxide poisoning.

7. Do not let the hen bring up the chicks. After hatching, the chicks should be raised in an insulated box. Do not let the hen bring up the chicks to avoid cold wind attacks to prevent the chicks from catching cold and the hen's age. Egg production.
