Consult your local veterinarian with any concerns about health care.

·         The first day the birds arrive, you may wish to scatter some feed on a newspaper so they can find it more easily.

·         Allow 1 gallon waterer fount for each 25 birds.

·         Allow 1 inch of feeder space per bird for the first 2 weeks. From 3 to 6 weeks, increase feeder space to 2 inches per bird and 3 inches per bird after 6 weeks.

·         Clean and place feeders and waterers before the birds are put under the brooder. Initially place feeder and waterer directly on the floor. A good rule of thumb is to have the feeder and waterer height even with the back of the birds to reduce feed waste and avoid contamination with droppings.

·         Keep feeders and waterers filled the first week. Then reduce the amount in the feeder until about half full.

·         Keep waterers and feeders clean. Disinfect waterers weekly.

·         Increase the feeder size and the number of feeders and waterers as birds reach 4 to 5 weeks of age.

·         After 4 to 6 weeks of age, switch to NatureWiseTM Poultry Grower/Finisher or NatureWiseTM Meatbird Feed.
