When preparing your broderie for your new chicks , please consider the following: Heating can be provided by gas and electric brooders as well as infra red lights
Day 1 , the house need to be an ambient temperature of between 28 -32 Celsius degrees
Brooder temperature should then be reduced by 0.5 Celsius degrees per day to achieve a final house temperature of 23 Celsius degrees by 3 weeks
Lack of heat also results in slow growth and slow weight gain .It will take longer before we can sell and often causes a spike in pricing
I know this sounds all fancy but believe me this can save you a lot of tears and financial loses .. Lets not estimate or think ,get you a thermometer so at least you can be certain of what the temperatures is and you will then know what heating solution to use
If you do to have access to electricity you can make fire(mbaula system) but even when you do you still need a thermometer to make sure heat is sufficient . BUY BROODERS HERE
