Poultry Chicks - Sasso, Kenbro, Rainbow, Kenchick Highlights

  • Egg Production: Chickens are primarily raised for their eggs. Laying hens typically begin producing eggs around 5-6 months of age and can lay an egg almost every day during their peak production period.
  • Meat Production: Certain breeds of chickens are specifically developed for meat production. Broiler chickens reach market weight (typically 4-6 pounds) in about 6-9 weeks.
  • Dietary Needs: Chickens require a balanced diet of grains, protein, vitamins, and minerals. Starter feed is crucial for young chicks, transitioning to grower and layer feeds as they mature.
  • Housing Requirements: Chickens need a secure coop to protect them from predators and the elements. Adequate space, ventilation, and roosting bars are essential for their well-being.
  • Brooding Period: Chicks require a warm environment, typically heated by a brooder lamp, for the first few weeks of life. Temperatures need to be gradually reduced as they grow feathers.
  • Molting: Chickens naturally go through a molting period, usually once a year, where they shed and regrow their feathers. Egg production often decreases or stops during this time.
