How to Keep Chicks Inside the Brooder

Video Transcript

Hi. I am Dr. T. K. Roy. I am speaking on behalf of Expert Village. The brooder may be of different materials. IT may be made of wood. It may be made of GI sheet. It may run on kerosene even, electricity and gas so the main idea is to put the chicks under the brooder to keep them warm as the mother hen needs to do after hatching its babys. We have a very specific area for keeping how many chicks in how many areas. For a brooder having 3 square feet of area may accommodate about 101 day a old chicks for about 7 to10 days. After that when the chicks grow up then you have to increase the area also. Otherwise they're in good condition. Now the end of a hot streak the temperature under the brooder remains to be 950 F. Because there has to 1020F in the incubator machine but now gradually there temperature is being adjusted to room temperature by lowering down to 50 every week. Until they obtain room temperature. In winter months they are kept under that brooder for about four weeks and in summer months for about two weeks. 10 days to two weeks because in winter room temperature remains very low and in summer months summer room temperature is very high. Thank you very much.
