At birth, the chicks need to be raised at a temperature of about 32-33 ° C. In practice 8-12 hours before the arrival of the animals it is necessary to turn on the heat source (electric or gas); place it at a height such that the temperature on the litter reaches 32-33 ° C. The temperature is measured with a thermometer placed above the litter. As the weeks pass, the chicks need to be less heated and this is equivalent to 2.5 - 3.0 ° C per week.
