Newborn rutin chickens require special care and feeding. Here are some tips for feeding and watering:
1.Heat preservation: When the rutin chicken is born, its body temperature regulation ability is weak and needs to be kept in an environment of 29-32 degrees Celsius. You can use a warming lamp or thermos to keep the temperature warm.
2.Feeding: Rutin chickens need to be fed within 24 hours of birth. You can use chick pellets, or make your own paste-like feed (such as a mixture of corn flour, cooked egg yolks, milk powder, etc.). The frequency of feedings starts every 2-3 hours and can be gradually extended as the chicks grow.
3.Feeding: After the chicks start eating, they can start feeding. About 24 hours after the rutin chicken comes out of the shell, the first time to give drinking water, the water temperature should not be too hot or too cold, the use of cool boiled water, generally after drinking water can be fed, the time out of the shell should not exceed 24 hours, otherwise it may increase the probability of death. Do not use cold water to feed the chicks, otherwise it will cause diarrhea in the chicks, and warm water should generally be used. Generally, after 15-20 days after the chicken comes out of the shell, it can be released from the incubator and fed outside the chicken coop.
4.Keep warm: rutin chickens like hot and cold, so it is particularly important to control the temperature, if you find that the chicks are collectively gathered, you can roughly judge that the temperature in the box is low, if you find a large number of chicks open their mouths, you can see if the temperature is too high.
Overall, newborn rutin chickens require special care and feeding, but as long as you can provide a suitable environment and plenty of food, you can successfully feed them.
