Explanation in English

Correct Answer: 95°F, 100–120 sq. cm

During the 1st week of brooding, chicks require a brooder temperature of 95°F (35°C) and a floor space of 100–120 sq. cm per chick.

Brooding Temperature and Space Schedule

Age	Floor Space	Temperature
1st week	100–120 cm²/chick	95°F
2nd–4th weeks	250–300 cm²/chick	90°F → 85°F → 80°F
5th–8th weeks	700–800 cm²/chick	80°F

Temperature is reduced by 5°F each week. One brooding unit consists of 250 chicks, four 60-watt bulbs at 6-inch height, a brooder guard of 5-foot radius, 3 feeders, and 4 waterers.
