Brooder Setup
Place newly hatched chicks in a warm brood box lined with soft material. Keep the temperature between 95 and 100°F initially.
Water and Feeding
Offer water immediately, but never food before water. After chicks start moving, provide high-protein starter crumbles in a shallow dish.
Ongoing Care
Monitor temperature zones, keep water clean, watch for signs of illness, and move chicks to a larger brooder after a few days. At about six weeks, they can be introduced to a secure outdoor area.
