Brooders should keep chicks at the proper temperature. Newly hatched chicks need to be maintained at 95 degrees Fahrenheit (F) for the first week of their lives. After the first week, chicks can tolerate temperatures 5 degrees F cooler for each week until they are four weeks old.
In the adult chicken the variability is between 105Â°F and 107Â°F (40.6Â° and 41.7Â°C). The body temperature of a newly hatched chick is about 103.5Â°F (39.7Â°C), and increases daily until it reaches a stable level at about three weeks of age. Smaller chicken breeds have a higher body temperature than larger breeds.
