Many breeders are still handrearing without a temperature gauge and when things have gone wrong, phone around to get answers to why the chicks had died.

Here are some of the answers:

Food fed too cool.

Chicks that are fed food too cool are put at risk of slowing of the crop movement. This can and most of the time does, result in souring of the crop, after which follows crop impacting and crop stasis.
This condition is hard to correct if not recognised and left too long.

Food fed too hot.

Food fed too hot leads to burning of the crop. Due to the pain and stress caused the chicks often die. In cases when the chicks are older and do survive the burn forms a scab that falls off when the skin has healed leaving a hole in the crop. This always leads to an expensive operation, that is tough on the chick if they suvive and hard on the pocket.


These are two common scenarios with many after/side affects not even mentioned.
