Space Requirements for Baby Chicks

Video Transcript

I am Dr. T. K. Roy, speaking on behalf of Expert Village. There are many cases where birds can be maintained in cages. There are different types of cages, commonly known as Californian cages. And there are cages to accommodate one bird in one cage. There are cages to accommodate three birds in one cage. There are cages to accommodate five birds in one cage. So, in cages, the space requirement is much less. It is hard to find enough space per bird. And when the cages are maintained in towers, so the space requirement on the floor area, becomes very, very insignificant. Like that the raising a multi-storied building for accommodating, you know, larger number of people in that. So, that is a different space, kind of space you are to provide. Similarly, for feed and water, you are to give spaces. Now, now, water space, maybe I give from one inch to about six inches linear when they become adults. And, a, an, and the space of water will not be like that, like a much less than the feed space because it is a, it can be observed, that when you give water, all birds do not come together to drink water. So that some birds are coming and drinking, they're going back, then another group is coming and drinking, then they're going back. So you don't have to give any water space to all the birds so that they can come to get that and drink water, no. But that is required with the feed. When you give feed, particularly when feed is given, you know, at different hours of the day, maybe once in the morning, once in the afternoon, one in between, like that. Then ALL the birds come to, come near the feeder and they start taking food all together. So, in that case, the space requirement for poultry will be much more. It will about two to four linear inches, about four to five linear inches per adult bird. So, this is actually how you are to give space for in the floor and for feeder and water. Thank you very much.
