Strategies to implement
Always ensure sourcing chicks from reputable sources this helps to know the chick’s health status and vaccination status. Furthermore, make the chick brooder circular to avoid chicks from pilling in corners as this can cause death. Also, ensure that the brooder is well-ventilated, to allow free air circulation.
Additional strategies
For new chicks ensure to use pepper as litter material, however, these should be replaced daily. Also, take care when transporting chicks to avoid stress, and give chicks a vitamin supplement upon arrival to control stress as well. Additionally, source good quality chick feeds from reputable dealers and provide sufficient light in the brooder to avoid stress. Lastly, give chicks sufficient clean water and good quality feeds.
