How to identify male and female chicks?

1. Appearance: Compared with rooster chicks, the reproductive bulge of hen chicks is not obvious in outline, atrophied, the surrounding tissue is weak and irrelevant, and feels soft to the touch. The male chick's reproductive bulge has a clear and substantial outline, and its surrounding tissues are firmly connected.

2. Gloss: In contrast, the reproductive ridge of hen chicks is soft and transparent; the reproductive ridge surface of male chicks is tight and shiny.

3. Elasticity: The reproductive ridge of the mother chick has almost no elasticity and is easily deformed once external force is applied or stretched slightly. The reproductive ridge of male chicks is elastic and will not deform under certain pressure and stretching.

Precautions for users to raise chickens:

1. Temperature. The temperature should be between 33-35 degrees so that the chicks do not get together and do not Breathe with your mouth open.

2. Humidity. The humidity can be maintained between 70-85%. High humidity is conducive to the absorption of yolk.

3. Lighting: The laying chicks have 24 hours of light on the first day, and then reduce it to half an hour every day. After 2 weeks, they can get natural light. The stronger the light, the better for 1-3 days, making it easier for the chicks to eat and drink. (The broilers are illuminated 24 hours a day, and the light intensity can be gradually reduced in the later period.)

4. Corn flour can be selected as feed. It is better if it is steamed in a pot until it is half-cooked. You can also use full-price chicks from the feed factory. feed.
