Giving probiotics and electrolytes

[ShaylaFox]

I am picking up 5 Speckled Sussex chicks and 5 Lavender Orpingtons soon!!’ My question is, is it safe to give probiotics and electrolytes at the same time? Moving to a new environment can be stressful, stress leads to sickness. I want to give them the best chance at staying healthy. I have a large, well vented brooder set up and ready. As well as, a chick appropriate waterer and chick starter.

The packages say you can. I think just make sure you have plain water to drink as well.

Do you have a preferred brand?

I prefer an all in one type mix (I've found a powdered vitamin, probiotic, electrolyte mix) or something like poultry nutri-drench.
