Brothers, Winter has already arrived, and raising chickens isn't as easy as in other seasons! 
So, what should we do to ensure that our little chicks can spend the winter safely? Today, I'm going to tell you all about the precautions for raising chickens in winter.
â… . Warmth preservation must be ensured.
First of all, the warmth preservation must be in place. It's extremely cold in winter, and the little chicks can't withstand the cold. 
You can spread a thick layer of hay or wood shavings in the chicken coop to provide them with a warm bed. And there is one very important point: ventilation is essential. Don't cover the chicken coop too tightly just because of the cold, as the little chicks will also feel uncomfortable in that case. 
You need to find a balance and be sure to choose a chicken coop that is both warm and breathable.
â…¡. Pay attention to the cleanliness of the chicken coop.
In winter, the chicken coop should neither be cleaned too frequently nor left uncleaned for too long. If it is cleaned too frequently, it will disrupt the environment that the little chicks have finally adapted to. Moreover, it's very cold in winter, and frequent cleaning can easily make the little chicks catch a cold. However, if it is not cleaned for a long time, the smell in the chicken coop will be really unpleasant, and it is also prone to the growth of bacteria. Generally speaking, it is more appropriate to clean it once or twice a week. It is very important to choose a chicken coop that is easy to clean. It is best to have a pull-out chassis with a reasonable design, so that it won't be laborious to clean.
â…¢. The diet needs to be adjusted.
It is necessary to provide the little chicks with more nutritious food to enhance their resistance. 
Also, the supply of water should not be cut off, and the water should be warm. Otherwise, the little chicks are likely to get sick after drinking it. In winter, we should also pay more attention to the health status of the little chicks. Once we find anything abnormal, we should take measures immediately.
Friends, You really need to be more attentive when raising chickens in winter! I hope these precautions can be helpful to you all, so that our little chicks can all spend the winter healthily.
