Chick Management in Kienyeji Chicken Farming

The chicks that have been separated from the mother are usually put in a artificial brooder which offers favorable conditions similar to those that are provided by the mother. One of the most important conditions that should be placed inside the brooder is warmth. This can be provided by several heating mechanisms including specially designed charcoal stoves, kerosene lamps and recently, electric bulb heaters.

The chicks in the brooder are fed with chick mash which has been mixed with glucose. Clean drinking water must also be provided at all times so as to ensure fast growth of the chicks.  It is important to carefully monitor the temperatures in the brooder so as to ensure that it is optimal. Excessively high temperatures or low temperatures may lead to high mortality levels.

You can either use the thermometer to ensure the temperature inside the brooder is just at the right level. Alternatively, you can observe the chick behavior inside the brooder so as to determine if the temperature provided is optimal. In our KARI Improved Kienyeji Chicken Farming Manual, we have used a host of illustrations that show the chick behavior or reaction to different temperature levels.
