      There are various factors which can be attributed to mortality, from lack of enough source of heat which leads to overcrowding and eventually stamped, to too much heat which causes heat stress and lastly, issues to do with general health, some chicks are just weak.

    I know the feeding from week 1-3 should be non stop, However I’m confused on week 3-5. Some farmers would tell you because of sun you should only feed them from 7am to 12pm.. and introduce the feed again later in the evening while some would tell you they don’t withdraw feed at any time.. Kindly share more insights to these theories

    • @Afrifama
      @Afrifama Місяць тому

      While this is certainly true, this is my observations birds tend to prefer feeding heavily in the morning and in the evening while its still cool. Hence you will find we administer feeds in the morning and late afternoon. While during mid day when its quite hot most prefer to quench their thirst and chill, so what's the best? I would say follow what works for you. And what ensures you can have maximum weight in the shortest time possible but not exceeding the feeds budget.
