Commercial Black Cockerels (Day-Old Chicks | CHI Brand) – Farm Affair

Description
Black cockerels
Black Cockerels (roosters, cocks) are adult male gallinaceous birds of the genus (Gallus gallus domesticus)
Features

Mature male chickens less than one year old are called cockerels.
Cockerels are cheaper to buy and raise compared to broilers, and they thrive under most management conditions.
They are resistant to adverse environmental conditions. So, we often recommend them for new poultry farms that use the semi-intensive/free-range system

Additional tips for raising poultry chicks

Preheat the sheds three days before placement, so that when the chicks arrive the concrete and bedding will be warm enough (as the chick’s body will be in contact with the floor, thus failure to have adequate floor temperatures will mean the chicks are likely to huddle especially if the heat source is not enough).
Bedding: Wood shavings are ideal. Therefore ensure there are no pieces of foreign materials (glass or metal) and ensure bedding material is dry.
Always monitor your birds closely to ensure a good spread of chicks and flock activity.
Strictly adhere to the vaccination and medication schedule sent to your email after purchase.
Involve the services of qualified veterinary personnel as well, for the routine farm visits, vaccinations, prophylactic treatment, etc.
