DAY 6

Peaceable Kingdom

Growing up healthy and strong means your layers can provide a lifetime of service to you as egg producers. We already covered the importance of a clean, dry environment to prevent chill or disease that a damp home can cause these fragile birds, but I also want to emphasize the value of a stress-free life for the young ones.

The brooder should not be placed where pet cats skulk, radios blare, dogs bound, or kids relentlessly scrutinize. While all of these sensations are good for your birds to grow up around in small doses – skulking cats being the exception – they should not be a constant presence. If chicks get too stressed out, they could literally die from it because their vents will seal up—and this is not a good thing.
