The temperature of chicken cage

We all know that temperature is very important during the brood and can even decide on chicken weight. Is the temperature too high during the brood?

Generally, when we just pick the chicks, the temperature within the coop about 28 ℃ is ok. And then within 2-3 hours we can enhance the temperature to a comfortable degree.In the spring and autumn, the temperature should be around 35 ℃. In the winter it should be around 36-37 ℃, 33-35 ℃ in the summer. Of course, these have a direct relationship with the room temperature.Here is some of the data:

(1-7 days) 35-37℃
(8-14 days) Each day decreases 0.5℃ or two days decrease 1℃, so the range should be 32-35℃
(14--21 days) Each day decreases 0.5℃ or two days decrease 1℃, so the range should be 28-32℃
(21-31 days) Three days decrease 3℃, so the range should be 25-28℃,since during this time, chick itself can adjust temperature and can strength  ventilation step by step.
(31--35 days) We advise decrease 1-2℃, so it can help chick adapt to low temperature and prevent cold. The whole temperature can be decided based on shed environment and condition.
(35 days—full grown)18-23℃ are ok, with good ventilation, your chicken will be healthy. Since during this period, temperature is not the key point anymore and broiler intake is the best and can grow fast.
