I'm getting some chicks (egg layers) tomorrow for the first time, and I want to do the best I can to keep them going. I was going to get a medicated chick starter feed & the one I see at my local store is Manna Pro, is this a good brand? Also, should I be getting a vitamin/electrolyte water supplement too, or is that not really necessary? When do they need to start eating the "rough stuff" for their crop, and does that just come w/the food? Ive been doing a lot of research but I find so many different options I don't know where to start. Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance :)
