HOW TO CARE FOR CHICKENS 1-5 WEEKS
Chickens are birds that are domesticated by many humans for various human uses. They are often used for cooking and for business as well. Many farmers like to raise chickens because they are easy to care for and do not have high maintenance costs compared to other domesticated animals. Today we will look at how to raise chicks until they become adult chickens;
Chicken house;
The chicken house should be close to the living house so that you can watch the chickens more closely, it should be built in a calm place according to the direction of the wind and the walls should not let in too much cold and it should also have enough space to raise the chickens.

Tools in the chicken house;
It is important to keep clean equipment in the chick house for feeding and raising them. There is something called a nursery, this is for keeping the chicks from scattering in the barn. A chemli lamp, a charcoal stove are also important equipment for raising chicks when they are young in the barn without their mother.
vaccination and treatment
Chicks should be vaccinated according to the vaccination schedule as soon as they hatch from their eggs. Many farmers do not like to follow the vaccination schedule, which is why many suffer losses when outbreaks of diseases occur. It is better to use a specialist for instructions on how to obtain and use vaccines correctly to avoid losses due to misuse of drugs.
When you see a difference in your chicken, you are advised to use the drug early and isolate all chicks with symptoms of illness to avoid infecting other chicks in your barn as a farmer.
