Preparation & Feeding Tips

• Mixing: Always mix the formula with clean, warm water (approx. 38°C to 40°C). Never use a microwave to heat the mixture as it can create dangerous "hot spots."

• Consistency: For very young chicks, start with a thinner mixture and gradually thicken the consistency as the bird grows older.

• Freshness: Prepare a fresh batch for every feeding. Discard any leftover mixed formula to prevent bacterial growth.

• Hygiene: Ensure all feeding syringes and bowls are thoroughly sterilized before and after use.

• Chennai Tip: In our warm climate, baby birds can dehydrate quickly. Monitor the crop closely to ensure it is emptying properly between feedings and maintain a stable ambient temperature for the brooder.
