Farmers who raise chickens in layer cages know that the quality of chicks will not only affect the survival rate of the chickens, but also affect the growth and development of the chickens in the later stages.
Therefore, you must pay attention to the quality of the chicken fry when you use the layer cage to raise the chickens. And after the chicks are in the house. In the first week, the weak chicks in the flock must be strictly eliminated, because the weak chicks are not long. The second is poor resistance, and it is easy to get sick. On the contrary, it will affect the health of the large group in the later stage.
The health of the chicks can be judged according to the time point and health condition of the shell. If there are many weak chicks, we must strictly eliminate them in the early stage. So as not to affect the growth of other chicks.
Healthy chicks take more time to emerge from their shells. Shells usually begin to emerge in about 20 days. The body of the chicks must meet the standards of this breed. Generally, the weight of broilers is about 40 grams. Laying hens are generally around 36 grams. Healthy chicks have shiny feathers. Touch its abdomen flat and soft. They are active and energetic.
Weak chickens often get sick. Such chicks usually come out too early or too late. The weight does not meet the standard. The abdomen of the chicken is swollen and loose and does not absorb well. And the fluff is not shiny.
The above is the method of judging chicks shared by the suppliers of automatic chicken breeding equipment, hoping to help the breeders to better select the chicks and raise healthy chickens.
