**Heat source -: Get your Heat Source Ready , which my be heating lamp, gas Brooders, charcoal pot, or heating bulbs π‘(60 or 100 or 200 watt). Always keep your brooder house warm for the first week because the chicks cannot regulate their body temperature that is why they need heating source to keep them warm because they didn't have mother which is the hen to cover them under her wing feathers so you are the mother they will watch out for. The heat must not too hot and it must not too cold. If you didn't have a thermometer to monitor the heat then you have to be observant to β
check on them every time to time, must especially in the nightsπ , infact i set my alarm β° to every 2 hours in the nights to βοΈ check on my π₯ chicks till the day break, when i see that the chicks gather near the heat source or gather to one corner i understand that the heat is low so i topup the charcoal in the charcoal port to put more heat to the room.
When i see the chicks opening their mouths and pantty and go away from the heat source means that the heat is too much so i will open the room window and door cover to allow more ventilation until the heat go down.
