Care Guidelines:

• Brooding Conditions: Keep pullets warm and protected. Set the brooder temperature at 35°C (95°F) at chick level initially, and decrease it by about 2-3°C weekly as they grow.
• Feeding Requirements: Start with a high-protein starter feed (20-22%) for the first 6–8 weeks. At around 18 weeks, transition them to a layer feed rich in calcium to support eggshell development.
• Watering: Provide a constant supply of clean, fresh water. Adding vitamins and electrolytes can be helpful, particularly during the brooding stage.
• Health and Vaccinations: Regular health monitoring and vaccinations against common diseases (e.g., Marek’s and Newcastle disease) are recommended. Ensure deworming and parasite control as they mature.

Housing Requirements:

• Space and Enrichment: ISA Browns adapt to various housing systems but perform best in well-spaced, enriched environments that allow for natural behaviors.
• Ventilation and Hygiene: Good ventilation is essential for maintaining air quality and respiratory health. Keep housing clean, dry, and well-ventilated.
• Safety Measures: Ensure housing is secure from predators and shielded from harsh weather, particularly in the early stages.

Productivity and Lifespan:

• Laying Cycle: ISA Browns are most productive in their first 18-24 months. They can continue laying beyond this period but typically at a reduced rate.
• Lifespan: With proper care, ISA Browns can live 5–8 years, though their peak laying years are within the first two years.

Packaging and Transport:

• Carton Specifications: Each carton contains approximately 50 day-old chicks, securely packed to ensure safe transport.
• Handling Tips: After receiving, promptly transfer chicks to a prepared, warm brooder to minimize stress and promote early feeding and hydration.
