Any Experiences with GroGel Plus?

[freespiritmom]

I have ordered some GroGel Plus with my baby chicks because of some positive reviews I have seen on the product. Do any of you have any experience with the stuff and if so how long should I feed it to them before switching to normal chick feed?

I just want to give the little ones the best start possible and help them recover from their journey.

Thanks for for any input or advice on this.

Just mix up the GroGel and put it on their food. they will eat it and learn at the same time where their food is.

Hi,
I agree with slabcrappy.
Great stuff. Yes, top off the food, don't mix it in the food. Little bit goes a long way, Just mix 1/8 teaspoon with water and then you can make more if you need it. was amazed at how much it expanded when wet!
Best,
Karen

Thanks for the replies. I have my little ones coming next week and being a new mom to chickens makes me a little nervous. By the time my next delivery of chicks comes I will hopefully be a little more comfortable. I have a couple of packs coming with both chick deliveries, I figured they could use all the help they could get traveling in a box hundreds of miles for a day or so. I will post an update once I see how well it works or not.

Thanks for the replies and the tips it helps so much

How much water do you mix 1/8 teaspoon of Grogel with?

Update. Our chicks loved the GroGel Plus and you could not even tell that they had just been shipped in from Texas. Great stuff. I would recommend it to anyone for their little chicks. Perky little buggers for sure!!!
