In the process of raising chickens, it is a common problem that chicks do not eat. There are many reasons why chicks do not eat, and chicken farmers must prescribe the right remedy. So what if the chicks don’t eat? Let’s take a look with the editor below. 1. Reasons why chicks don’t eat 1. Transportation stress: During transportation, chicks will be stressed due to long-term transportation, crowded environment, noise and vibration, which may lead to abnormal diet. 2. Environmental changes: When chicks are moved from one environment to another, it may take some time for them to adapt to the new environment. Because the new breeding place, smell, temperature and light and other factors will affect the appetite of chicks. 3. Disease problems: After being relocated, chicks are prone to illness. Common diseases include colds, digestive system problems, etc. These diseases can cause the chicks to lose their appetite and refuse to eat or drink. 4. Dietary problems: The appetite of newly arrived chicks will be affected due to sudden changes in feed or poor quality, taste, and flavor of the feed. 2. What should I do if the chicks don’t eat? 1. Anti-stress before and after transportation In order to prevent the chicks from experiencing stress during transportation, you can use Dongxia Taibao on the chicks before and after transportation. It contains a variety of vitamins that can reduce the stress response of the flock. 2. Give the chickens an appropriate amount of water After the chicks are moved to a new pen, you can give them an appropriate amount of water, because water can regulate their body temperature and maintain the water balance in their bodies. If the chick is unwilling to drink water on its own initiative, you can try to gently touch the edge of its mouth with your finger to stimulate it to drink water. 3. Add feed in multiple times The newly bought chicks may not be used to the new feed. Chicken farmers can add the feed in multiple times to allow the chickens to slowly adapt to the feed. 4. Provide a comfortable environment Newly purchased chickens usually need a certain amount of time to adapt to the new breeding environment, so it is necessary to provide the chickens with a comfortable environment. This can reduce the chickens' stress response, help the chicks adapt to the new environment faster, and restore their appetite. The above is an introduction to what to do if the chicks don’t eat. Farmers must ensure that the temperature, humidity, ventilation and other conditions in the chicken house are appropriate to provide a comfortable living environment for the chicks. At the same time, keep the chicken house clean and hygienic to reduce the occurrence of diseases.
