CHICK PAPER Suitable chick paper should be used in these first weeks. This is not only beneficial for your feed management strategy, but also for effective cocci replication, and in cage systems it can help prevent long-term foot injuries HUMIDITY Balancing the level of humidity with the house temperature in the first few weeks is crucial to help obtain an optimum environment.
