Before the chicks arrive at the poultry house, cages, brooding houses, and all equipment to be used must be cleaned and disinfected. Poultry feeders should be placed in position, and additional chick feeders should be provided. Depending on the season, start heating the poultry house 2 to 24 hours before the chicks arrive. The temperature should be maintained at 29–32 °C in cage systems and 32–35 °C in floor brooding. For floor rearing, quality materials such as rice hulls, wood shavings, or straw should be spread on the floor, with a litter thickness of at least 5–8 cm. Chicks should be evenly distributed within the poultry house. They should first be given access to water, and the drinking water temperature should be 18–20 °C. To encourage chicks to start feeding, feed should be placed on papers spread on the floor during the first week.
