Chicks should be monitored several times a day during the first week — ideally 4 to 5 times daily. This helps you quickly detect signs of stress, disease, or poor brooding conditions such as uneven heat, dehydration, or pasting. Frequent checks ensure early intervention and better survival rates.

You should monitor chicks multiple times daily, but particularly first thing in the morning and after feeding. During the first week, it is essential to check frequently for signs of illness, ensure they are eating and drinking, and verify they are adjusting to the brooder’s temperature and surroundings.
