Proper Brooding and Feeding for Chicks Says Missouri Expert
M A Seaton of the Missouri College of Agriculture notes half of hatched chicks reach maturity and many losses can be prevented. The colony brooding method is preferred with initial brooder temperature near 100 F, gradually cooled as needed. Provide ample clean water, use drinking fountains, avoid open bowls. Begin feeding after 50 hours with sand or grit, then oats, bread crumbs, and hard boiled eggs. Gradually replace oats with grain mix, add a dry mash after first week, feed dry and in small portions. Include abundant milk for disease prevention, vitamin supply, and protein.
