After the chicks hatch, they are moved from the hatching room to the brooding area. For the first three days, they are given water mixed with 5% to 8% brown sugar and vitamin C. This helps promote yolk absorption, reduce the occurrence of egg-related issues, and improve feed conversion efficiency.
When transporting young chickens over long distances, they often experience dehydration, weakness, and stress upon arrival. To help them recover quickly, providing them with 5% to 10% brown sugar water for up to three days can restore their energy, boost immunity, and lower mortality rates. It’s also beneficial to give them brown sugar water before transportation to minimize the negative effects of the journey.
During stressful periods—such as when moving, changing feed, or undergoing vaccination—chickens may suffer from reduced growth, lower egg production, and weakened immunity. Giving them 10% brown sugar water for two to three days before and after these events can help maintain immune function, balance body fluids, stimulate appetite, and support overall performance. In cold weather, a 5% to 10% solution can also help keep chickens warm and support digestive health.
When chickens are suffering from diseases like coccidiosis, colibacillosis, or parasites, adding 5% to 10% brown sugar water to their drinking water for 3 to 5 days can create a protective layer in the gut, reducing irritation from toxins and lowering death rates. For chickens with kidney issues, combining brown sugar water with medication can enhance recovery by reducing swelling. Brown sugar also acts as a natural immune booster, helping the chicken’s body fight off infections more effectively when used alongside antibiotics.
In cases of poisoning—whether from gas, drugs, or feed additives—immediately stop the harmful substances and provide 10% brown sugar water for 3 to 5 days. This can help alleviate symptoms, especially when combined with vitamin C.
It's important to note that while brown sugar water is beneficial, it should not be given for more than a week at a time. Prolonged use may lead to digestive issues. Always monitor the chickens closely and adjust the duration based on their condition.
