Chicks have some specific living habits after hatching. Here are some common characteristics of chicks:
1. Social behavior: Chickens naturally like to gather together to form groups. They tend to stay close to each other, looking for security and warmth.
2. Exploration and foraging: Chicks are very curious and will actively explore their surroundings. They peck at the ground and dig into the soil in search of food, especially insects, seeds and pellets.
3. Feather preening: Chickens will peck their own feathers with their beaks and clean them with their claws. This helps keep feathers clean and healthy while also promoting feather growth.
4. Naps and Rest: Chicks also need rest and naps during their active periods. They may find a comfortable place to rest during the day and night, often huddled together.
5. Social behavior: Chicks socialize with each other and communicate through calls and body language. They build social bonds by touching, chasing, and biting each other's mouths.
6. Temperature perception: Chicks are sensitive to temperature, especially in their early life stages. They need the right temperature to maintain physical comfort and normal development.
These habits are crucial to providing a suitable feeding environment. To ensure the health and well-being of your chicks, provide the right temperature, water and suitable feed, while creating a safe, clean and comfortable habitat.
