Week-by-week rearing calendar
For each type of chicken, what to do and watch each week, from preparing the house to the sale or depletion: temperature, lighting, feed, target weight.
White broiler: the week-by-week calendar
What to do and watch each week, from preparing the house to the sale at around 35 to 45 days. Target weights are achieved under very good conditions: in an open-sided house, in strong heat, reaching 70 to 85% of them is a good result.
8 stagesColoured chickens: the week-by-week calendar
Red broilers, grey barred, naked necks and hybrids: what to do each week, from preparing the house to the sale between 8 and 14 weeks. Target weights are achieved under good conditions: in an open-sided house, in strong heat, expect 10 to 25% less.
13 stagesBrown laying hens: the calendar from chick to depletion
Week by week during brooding, then stage by stage up to depletion at around 72 to 80 weeks. Pullet weight and lighting decide the laying: never increase the light before the target weight is reached, and never reduce it during lay.
