Managing your birds during this cold season

In my years of working and handling chicks from incubators to the farm, placement of birds at the farms, growing and harvesting of either meat or eggs, brooding is still the most critical time in a bird’s life. The temperatures in the incubators are normally maintained at 36-37 degrees celsius, this ensures the internal body temperature of a chick is maintained at 400c for vital functioning of all body systems. The sooner the transition is made between the hatcher trays to your farm, the better.
