Use Your Senses

Tonight Doc Rey was in a farm to check on brooding. When he got there late in the afternoon, he asked that additional heating source be added. Not contented with what science suggests, he set to eat dinner and decided to stay longer. The sky was dark and the wind was starting to blow stronger.

Again, do not be contented with the suggestion of 1watt per bird during brooding. Observe and use your senses. Your eyes and ears will tell you if the chicks are comfortable and contented.

Remember....they need enough heat, but equally important - they need fresh air that circulates. Let the fresh air enter and exit, not just circulating inside that becomes stale.

In cold weather, like tonight, do not put curtains or wrap the brooder's walls....instead, add source of heat.

Think of installing wind breakers :)

    I just want to say that I really appreciate your efforts in bringing this knowledge to a wider audience through blogging.

    Maraming salamat po.

    Balak ko nga po pala sana mag simula rin ng ganitong uri ng kabuhayan. May kaunting lupa po kami sa gawing Batangas na sa tingin ko ay magandang paglagyan ng ganito.

    Sa ngayon ang budget ko po ay maliit lang. Maaari po kayang malaman kung kailan ang susunod na seminar ngayong Agusto bukod dun sa 4th Sunday?

    Maliit lang po ang kapital ko, pero malaki po ang determinasyon kong maitayo ito.

    Sana po ay matugunan ninyo ang aking mungkahi. Maraming salamat po.

  7. @dannybuntu, there shouldn't be a lack of budget...nor small budgets should not be a reason for not starting. Besides, sa negosyo, start small talaga dapat and grow with it :)
