In chicken farming, your chick’s health and welfare are your main concern for months and months, and once the day of transporting them comes it becomes very important for you as a poultry house owner to use the right transportation, drivers, and steps in order to prevent any harm.

Here are some tricks that you must know to transport your chicks in the right way:

  1. Before transporting them you first must deem the lights in your poultry house in order to calm them down before moving
  2. Then your trained team starts to catch and move them to your well-equipped trucks.
  3. Catchers must move slowly in the house and use lower voices as chickens get scared from sudden movements and loud voices.  
  4. Catchers also should wear dark clothes to prevent the chicken from getting defensive.
  5. Always make sure that your truck has a portable roof or can be covered just in case it rained.
  6. And if it is a hot day make sure that you have a well air-circulated truck to keep them cool.
  7. Make sure to park away from direct sunlight while moving them so they can be comfortable for a long time.
  8. Checking the roads before starting them is mandatory for drivers to avoid bumper-to-bumper traffic.

This process is very critical and must be done perfectly after a good study of all the variables and reading about all the right moves and if there is any information needed feel free to contact us in Organo.
