CHICK BROODING



Brooding helps prevent chilling. Chilled chicks do not take sufficient feeds and water leading to retardation in growth; inability to digest the yolk thus Mortality

Brooder Preparation
• Clean the brooding house thoroughly
• Soak the floor and curtains with a strong disinfectant
• Wash and disinfect then sun-dry Feeders and drinkers for two days
• Arrange all equipment in the house
• Prepare the brooder ring
• Spread the litter (up to 4 inches thick from the floor)
• Fix the curtains on the open sides
• Disinfect the brooder using a good quality disinfectant
• Provide a foot bath at the entrance with a disinfectant
• Spread newspapers on the floor to cover the litter
• Place the heat source at the Centre of the brooder ring

Feed Management
• Use supplemental feeder trays to help chicks get off to the best start possible (1 tray per 100 chicks)
• Place feeder trays between the drinkers
• Supplemental feeders should be provided for the first 7-10 days.

Chick Quality Analysis
• Check the crops of chicks the morning after placement.
• Soft and pliable crops mean chicks have successfully located feed and water.
• Hard crops indicate chicks have not found adequate water
• Swollen and distended crops indicate chicks have located water but insufficient feed

Feeder Management
• Adjust Feeder troughs height so that they rest on the litter for the first 14 days to ensure all birds can easily access feed without having to climb into the feeder
• Thereafter, raise feeders raise incrementally throughout the growing period so that the lip of the trough orphan is level with the birds back

Light Management
Provide continuous lighting for the first 30 days to help chicks find feed and water more easily.
               

Brooding Temperature
• The temperature is measured 5cm above the litter surface
• Evening is the best time to observe the chicks and adjust temperature
• Ventilation should be provided for optimum comfort of the chicks
• Provide enough space, so that the chicks can feed and drink freely
• Sources of heat Jiko, Infrared lamps , Gas brooders, etc

Chick Mortality
Reasons for early chick mortality include:
• Poor brooding conditions-high and low brooding temperature
• Feed poisoning -fungal, toxins, litter poisoning
• Injuries-rough handling and pro-longed transportation stress
• Starvation
• Humidity
• Nutrition deficiency
• Genetic disorder
• Predators

Induction of chicks
• Provide heat source an hour prior to chick arrival
• Count the chicks properly while receiving
• Release the chicks into the brooder ring after dipping their beaks in water
• Allow chicks to drink water and keep feed in a chick feeding tray. Do not sprinkle feed on the newspaper as this will get contaminated.
• For the first 3 days check the chicks every 2-3 hours to confirm if they have taken feed and water
• Remove and replace the top newspapers daily and remove any wet litter immediately

Hay Box Brooder
It is easy to make. It is a wooden trunk with a top that can be opened or closed.The box is insulated from inside (along the sides) by hay. This is only an overnight box and chicks are taken out during the day. Feed and water are kept out.
