The chicks in the shell 15 should be fed 5 to 6 times a day, and at the same time, clean drinking water should be continuously supplied, and vitamins and antibiotics can be added to the water appropriately. The earlier the start of feeding, the greater the feed intake within 1 week.
- Insulation: The temperature in the first week of spring brooding is generally controlled at 35~36 ° C, and then reduced by 2~3 ° C every week to about 21 ° C.
