Try to wait until day seven to hold your new chicks. When the time is right, pick them up just a few inches from the ground; if they seem skittish, delay another day or two. Never over-handle chicks that appear stressed. After they become used to being held, you can handle them at will. #kadaknath #desi_chicken #poultry_Farm #kb_livestock_farm #Healthy_Chickens #chicks_handle #day_old_chicks #chicken #clean #chicken_coops

What bedding do you use for chickens

By far the most commonly used litter is wood shavings, sold in feed stores, or scrounged from woodworkers. Wood shavings have a pleasant smell, are amazingly absorbent, and don't pack down. Sawdust also works well but is dusty. Chickens stir it up and dust settles on anything in the coop. #kadaknath #desi_chicken #poultry_Farm #kb_livestock_farm #Healthy_Chickens #bedding #organic_chicken #chicken #free_range #bed
