The normal body temperature range of chickens is between 40-42 degrees, with an average of about 41 degrees. The body temperature of chickens is higher than that of humans, and under normal circumstances, the body temperature will remain within this range.


It should be noted that the body temperature of chickens may change to a certain extent under different environmental conditions. For example, a chicken's body temperature may rise or fall when the temperature is too high or too low. When chickens become infected with disease, their body temperature also rises due to the response of the body's immune system.


Therefore, measuring your chicken's body temperature regularly can help detect diseases and health problems early. If abnormal body temperature is found in chickens, diagnosis and treatment should be carried out immediately to ensure the health and production capacity of the chickens. At the same time, rationally adjusting feed, strengthening drinking water hygiene, and maintaining a good living environment can also help maintain the health of chickens.
