After about 24 hours after the chicks hatch, about one third of the chicks have the ability to eat, they can start eating. It is not too early to eat, but it should not be too late.
The chicks purchased from the outside may not know when they hatched, but they can be determined by the dynamics of the chicks. For example, most chicks are unstable and do not respond to tests by hand, indicating that chicks are not hungry and can eat slowly. If the sound of screaming is heard from the ears, and they feed on each other's claws, and approach the chicks to feed their fingers by hand, they must immediately start eating with full-price pelleted chicken.
The way to start eating is to spread the chicken food in plastic sheets or old newspapers and place them where the chicks often appear, and sprinkle some ingredients on the back of the chicken's head. That is, learn to eat quickly.
After two days of learning to eat food, in order to minimize the waste of the material, feeders were used to feed the chicks. The chick material can be used as dry material until it reaches 1 month of age. If it is to be changed to self-made powder, it can gradually transition to wet material. However, when the wet material is not eaten, it is susceptible to acid deterioration in the summer, allowing the chicken to feed. Can cause illness. When feeding dry powder, it is easy to waste, and the dust and easy to cause picky eaters.
In order to promote better growth of chicks, visual feed quality and chicken growth, from the third day, a variety of vitamins, or cod liver oil, are occasionally added to the feed to meet the vitamin requirements of the chicks.
As for the number of feedings, the chicken stage can eat freely or adopt a multi-meal feeding method. Refer to the following figures:
Age 1-10,11-20,21-30, times 7-8, 5-6,5.
When feeding chickens, special attention should be given to the observation of chickens as this is a good time to observe the flock. Chickens that are stray and do not eat must be observed for observation. After feeding, chickens can be inspected for crops. According to their degree of filling, they can understand the conditions of food intake. If the empty sac is filled with liquid, it is an indication of indigestion or symptoms. Should take emergency measures.
If the feed is self-contained, whether the feed is ideal or not can also be determined by observation of the feces. The normal chicken manure should be slightly harder, the discharge can be shaped, the color is black, and if it is thin, brown, it is too much carbohydrate. The animal feed is too little. Excessive moisture in the excrement, dark with red spots, mostly caused by excessive animal feed. Diluted green manure is mostly caused by single feed or fed green feed.
The chicken has no teeth and it is necessary to grind the feed in the stomach and stomach by feeding sand to improve the digestibility of the feed. Therefore, the chicks should be added with sand or additional container sand at the age of 3-4 days to free the chicks. Eating.
For chicken feed, it is necessary to have a plan in advance to determine which feed to use, not to change the type of feed often, or to change the formula of the feed. The lesson teaches us that the sudden loss of feed can be irreversible. If we must change the feed, we must gradually transition in a certain period of time.
Feeding must adhere to regular rations, otherwise it will cause indigestion and affect growth.
Daily determination of feed consumption, daily feed consumption should be increased, if you stop increasing or decreasing, this is a signal of a problem: First, there is a problem with feed, second is improper management, and third, chickens A disease has occurred.
