1.Nothing is wrong with your birds.

2. Broilers gaining weight tends to rest more with their hock as seen in the video

3. You may be worried if with their feeding pattern they don't have a good FCR.

4. It is advisable you feed less or don't give them feed at all during the hot hours of the day.

5. You can place them on Vit c or B.co, they are good electrolytes which will boost thier immune system and inturn increase their appetite

6. They are not panting, it shows the atmosphere is good for them. So, do not fret

7. You should get a feed intake guide with regards to their respective body weight as they age. This bird should either be in thier 5th or 6th week, right?

8. Finally, you may need to raise both the Feeders and Drinkers to the height of thier back. This also ensures them not to be lazy while feeding, as some can be seen lying around the Feeders even while feeding.
