Manual Feeding Of Bird Chicks

There are basic steps that we must provide when acquiring a chick.

The appropriate age The
appropriate age to start hand-cooking chickens is between the ages of 14 and 21 days. If you are a beginner, I advise you at the age of 25 days, which will have gained a little immunity. The necessary tools are recommended for the
youngest

to keep the food hot and soft

. First, you must provide a warm and dry place because the chicken It is still small and must be kept away from air currents. There are several things ( boxes made of cardboard, a lining of newspapers, and wood shavings on top of them for easy changing, and to keep the chick and the place clean, you can use a wooden box… )

– After we have prepared the machine, we come to how to feed the chicks. The best method is to use a syringe connected to a short tube. You can buy the supplies from the syringe pharmacy as well as the tube. There are several methods, but I will only touch on the syringe because it is the easiest

After we have known some basic things, we will now discuss some very important ways and methods on how you can feed the chick.

– Then we have to push  it very hard  , we must direct the syringe to the left. The chick’s mouth is as in the picture above
– you must fill the sac to  90%  or  80% . It is important not  100%  because this is harmful to the chick
– we remove the remaining food on the chick to keep the bird clean.

How many times should you feed the chick?

From one day to 4 days old it is fed . Feeding is done every two hours
from the age of 5 to 7 days . From the age of one week to two weeks, feeding is done. From 4 to 6 hours . From 15 to 35 days, feeding is done for 6 to 8 hours .

From 35 to 45 , during which time he is fed twice, and then it is reduced to once until we can wean him at the age of two months.

Finally, it is a question posed by the breeder: Should I immerse my chick in water?
