anyone remember who it was that asked about chick temperatures a while ago? just seen this







CHICK TEMPERATURE

Measurement vs. observation: recognizing the comfort status of day old chicks

Measuring body temperature (BT) is a standard method of checking the health status of animals. normal BT in domestic fowl is 40.5°C.

Quote:
Use an IR-ear thermometer if measurement is required. It is easier, faster and less distressing for the chick. More measurements can be taken without compromising accuracy.
  • Measurement taken by an ear thermometer is on average approx. 0.5 °C lower than when measured on the same chick by rectal thermometer for deep body temperature.

Huddling, gathering close to each other and peeping loudly indicate cold distress, while open wings and beaks and panting are typical symptoms of overheating. When chilled, the feet get cold first, which can be ‘tested' by touching ‘chick to cheek’.
