CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How to keep chicks warm in the spring

How do chickens keep warm in spring?

Spring is the season for chicks to hatch. For newly hatched chicks, a warm environment is needed to promote their growth and development. The hen will provide a certain amount of warmth for the chicks during the incubation process, but when the chicks are born, we need to take some measures to ensure their comfort and warmth.

Choosing the right chicken coop

First, we need to choose the right chicken coop for our chicks. The coop should be well insulated to prevent cold air from seeping in. The inside of the coop should be kept dry to avoid water and moisture. Clean wood chips or straw can be laid inside the coop as bedding to provide additional warmth.

Provide the right lighting

Secondly, we can provide extra warmth for the chicks by providing the right lighting. In the mornings and evenings of spring, the temperature inside the chicken coop may be lower, and red warm light can be used to increase the temperature. Install the light on one side of the chicken coop to ensure that the chicks have enough space to hide from direct light.

Controlling ventilation in chicken houses

At the same time, we need to pay attention to the ventilation of the chicken house. Ventilation is an important factor in keeping the air in the chicken house fresh, but when the temperature is lower in the morning and evening in spring, too strong ventilation will lower the temperature. Therefore, at this time, it is necessary to properly control the ventilation of the chicken house and minimize the entry of cold air.

Provide water and food

In addition, in order to keep the chicks warm, we also need to make sure they have enough water and food. Provide the chicks with warm drinking water, and use a heater to keep the water temperature constant. At the same time, arrange the supply of feed reasonably to ensure that the chicks have the right amount of food to provide energy.

In summary, it is very important to provide a warm environment for chicks hatching in the spring. By choosing the right chicken house, providing the right lighting, controlling ventilation, and ensuring the supply of drinking water and food, we can help the chicks spend a warm and comfortable spring.
