The babies are 1 week old just double checking statistics:
- Day old
- Target weight: 35g to 40g
- Average weight (sample of 100 birds): 38g
- 7 days
- Target weight: 64g to 67g
- Average weight (sample of 100 birds): 66g
- Target date of first egg: December 11, 2018
We are within the breeder’s recommended weight range, so is a good start.
The temperatures are generally warm during the day so no pots for additional heat till 8pm when it starts getting cooler.
The first Newcastle booster dose was also given today via a drop in the eye, we stick to the vaccination schedules like clockwork.
