Save Your Chicks: Expert Tips to Combat Diarrhea and Mortality

Keeping Chicks Healthy: A Guide to Preventing Diarrhea and Mortality Raising chickens can be rewarding, but challenges arise. One common issue is chick diarrhea, often leading to death. A recent video by Anna_srtoymagazin.by addresses this problem. The video's author, experienced in raising poultry, emphasizes the importance of providing chicks with clean water, changed at least three times a day. "The water quickly spoils in the heat of the brooder," she explains, noting that a foul smell can develop. She also highlights the critical role of maintaining the correct temperature in the brooder, varying according to the chick's age. A table in the video details the ideal temperature and light exposure for chicks of different ages. By following these simple steps, aspiring poultry keepers can significantly reduce the risk of illness and loss among their young birds.
