Take chicken temperature



1. Restrain the chicken by holding it facing backwards under your non-dominant arm. Use the arm to gently hold the wings against your body and slide the hand underneath the legs and squeeze them together.

2. Gently insert the thermometer into the cloaca.

3. The chicken’s temperature is relatively high compared to humans and should be between 40.6°C and 41.7°C. Freshly hatched chicks might have slightly lower body temperatures.

 4. Remember that the stress from handling the chicken can slightly elevate its temperature.
