  I recommend you refer to the Management Guide for your breed as a good place to start. For example, Section 2: Chick Management of the Ross Broiler Management Handbook considers:

  • Farm preparation
  • Brooder setup
  • Chick placement
  • Environmental control
  • Monitoring chick behaviour
  • Chick start assessment
