What is the normal body temperature of a chicken?

The normal body temperature of chickens is around 40°C, which can fluctuate slightly, but the normal body temperature is generally between 39.5-41°C. When the ambient temperature increases, the chicken's body temperature will also increase accordingly. When the ambient temperature drops, the chicken's body temperature will also decrease. However, it should be noted that if the chicken's body temperature continues to be high or low, there may be a health problem that requires timely diagnosis and treatment.


In addition, it is worth noting that the body temperature of different breeds of chickens may be slightly different. For example, the body temperature of broiler chickens (such as broilers, native chickens) is generally slightly higher than that of egg chickens (such as laying hens, golden phoenix chickens). Therefore, in daily feeding and management, appropriate adjustments and observations need to be made according to different breeds of chickens to maintain their health.
