Because the digestive system of newly hatched chicks is not fully developed, they can't eat high-fiber and low-moisture feed. During this period, they can be fed millet, which needs to be soaked in water before feeding, and then fed to the chicks after filtering out the water.
After the chickens grow up, they can be fed with rice, cabbage and other foods. Specifically, it is to feed half-cooked rice. Before feeding, it is necessary to rinse the mucus on the surface of rice with clear water. When you feed the cabbage, you should cut it carefully so that the chickens can peck at it. When chickens are full of feathers, they can be fed bread, rice, cabbage or corn paste.
Method of raising chickens
The body temperature of newborn chicks is 3℃ lower than that of adult chicks, and it usually takes about 10 days to reach normal body temperature. Moreover, chicks have short villi, poor cold resistance and poor adaptability to the environment, so they must be kept warm artificially to develop normally. After 30 days, the chicken has full feathers, so it doesn't need heat preservation.
Just before feeding, chickens should be fed 0.0 1~0.02% potassium permanganate water to help them clean meconium and disinfect their intestines and stomach. Then feeding light sucrose water can improve the survival rate of chickens. Feed the chicken feed. Feed it with water frequently to avoid water shortage, but you can't binge drink at once, because binge drinking will lead to diarrhea and death of chickens.
