So in about 5 weeks and 5 days this first time mommy will be getting chicks. I have a few random questions, that will help this first time mommy.
1. I know how much grit to put in the food for when their babies, but how often do you put grit in their food?
2. As they get older how much grit and should it be placed in their food or like the crushed oyster shell?
3. Electrolytes and probiotic supplements in the water for chicks, how long should they be given?
4. How long to keep them on chicks feed, before moving to layer feed?
5. What recommendations for a feeder and a waterer?
6. Would you recommend leaving them in the coop for 24Hrs the first time they are in the coop?
Thank you all for the answers and advice.
