Usually growing is divided into four periods. Monitoring your chicken growth and weight changes is very important in each growing period. Throughout the growing it is necessary to weight at least 1% of all the chicken population in your farm. Next thing to monitor is the temperature in the farm, first days it must be 30 ° C, then as they grow, the temperature can be gradually reduced. Further, a certain day light and night dark regime should be maintained. For the first seven days, it is very important to ensure 11 hours light period and 1 hour dark mode.
