Success in Caring for Chicks. The age of chicks from 0-1 months is the most susceptible to disease, what I often study and observe is 1. The chick's coop smells bad because of rising ammonia. This causes the chicks to get sick, lack appetite and die. You should give probiotics to the chicks' drink to reduce ammonia in the coop. 2. The chick coop is not warm enough. The chick coop is not warm enough causing the chicks to gather and other chicks are trampled and die. If the chick coop is warm then the chicks spread and do not gather at one point. 3. Air circulation, plays an important role in reducing the heat in the chick coop so that the chicks get new air and are not stressed. 4. Provide appropriate feed for chicks, especially special feed for chicks with 20% - 21% protein that will help accelerate the growth of chicks. 5. Always maintain the cleanliness of the place to eat and drink chicks to avoid harmful bacteria. That's all the points that I share so that the chicks stay healthy and agile.

Even in our place they maintain warm to make chicken feel the warm and healthy as well
Yes, you are right, warm temperatures are very important in caring for chicks.
Mate, you wrote an excellent article. I didn't realize this because I don't raise hens, but I learned today that it's a difficult but rewarding job.
It is very important information and I think that whoever follows you and applies your instructions will succeed in raising chickens. Thank you.
Hey chicks! Some of our chicks died last time, maybe because of the cold.
I have a question, because I've seen this on my father too before, when there's a newborn chic, their house has lights on... Is it because its to keep them warm? Coz I've always thought that they needed more days just like babies who are on incubator
