I am Dr. T. K Roy speaking on behalf of Expert Village. One day old chicks, they are the chicks that come out of the hatchery. They do not require any food and water for 48 hours. But given if, they don't require, if we give them it is no harm. Since they do not require any food and water for 48 hours it is very easy to transport them. They are easily put in a kit box having a hundred birds in four compartments. And then transported in the box to long distances that may require about two days time. Now once they reach their destination I mean the farm or where they are supposed to be, they are put under Brooder box of canopy type over Brooder. Thank you very much.
