Chick Grading

08/15/2025

Proper chick grading is essential for farms to achieve optimal performance and healthy flocks. During the chick processing stage, grading should focus on several key factors:

  • Appearance and size
  • Leg strength and alignment
  • Feathering quality
  • Behavioral indicators
  • Proper navel sealing
  • Absence of abnormalities

Ensuring each chick meets these criteria lays the foundation for improved productivity and healthier outcomes.
