Our Broiler Chicken

This was the next day picture since they arrived. They were four days old.
We put a rice hull in their brooding pen to keep it from getting wet and to keep it clean. We will only replace it with a rice hull after two days. We also put a thirty watt bulb to keep them warm. Because the cold is one of the reason that can harm them.

This was after three days since they arrived.

And this was after four days.

Raising broiler chickens requires meticulous planning and care to ensure their health and rapid growth to market weight. The journey begins with the selection of high-quality chicks and a clean, secure brooding environment to keep them warm and safe during their first critical weeks. Proper temperature regulation, starting around 95 degrees Fahrenheit and gradually decreasing each week, is essential to foster their development. Nutrition plays a pivotal role; providing a diet specifically formulated for broilers, rich in proteins and essential nutrients, supports their fast growth rate. Clean, fresh water must be accessible at all times to keep them hydrated and healthy. As they grow, space requirements increase to prevent overcrowding, which can lead to stress and health issues. Monitoring for signs of illness or distress is crucial, with prompt veterinary care as needed. By focusing on these key aspects of care and management, one can successfully raise broiler chickens that are healthy, happy, and ready for the market within about six to eight weeks.

On their three weeks we transferred them to the chicken cage but didn't put a light bulb in there because their resistance can longer withstand even without heat.

But we still put rice hull under their cage so that their chicken dung does not get wet and rot.
