Heading Off Baby Chick Troubles
Advice on keeping hatchlings healthy focuses on proper warmth and feeding. Do not overheat chicks or feed too soon as yolk reserves sustain them for days, start small feeds 24 to 48 hours after hatch, and grow through experience before expanding with incubators and larger flocks.

Use baskets or boxes with coverings, maintain brooder at 98–100 F, lower 5 degrees weekly to 85 F by week four, avoid direct sun, and ensure proper ventilation.
