flgardengirl - It works great on chicks and chickens. A good friend told me about it a few years back. I always keep a can of it on hand.

I would put a few drops of Poly-Vi-Sol on their little beaks and go get the Kaytee also, if you can do that. If I lived close enough, I'd bring you some myself.
Do you have a local pet store?? If so, call - you never know, they might have it.

Thanks Rebekah !! Good to see you join us
I ended up with 6 out of 8. The last egg hasn't done anything yet and I"m not expecting it too. If you can believe this, out of 6 chicks, I got FOUR splash and 2 blues !!!
I plan on taking some pictures of them tomorrow, and will take some new pictures of the ones that hatched last week - they have already grown like crazy !!
Still, I'm pretty happy right now - I have 12 new 100% chicks -
Your pics are so cute! I've got one Splash Orpington baby, and it's about twice the size of all the other baby Marans the same age. And greedy, my goodness. He just shoves the others away from the food and gorges. He karate-kicked his way out of the egg, while giving it the what-for. I'm pretty sure he used language that shouldn't be spoken by nice, well-bred chickens.
I can't wait to see what kind of personality he develops as he grows. I'm trying to figure out how to keep an extra roo, if he is one. He cracks me up. He might become my new head roo if he keeps being totally awesome.
Sounds like you have a little pig on your hands ! How old is he?

He hatched on the 21st, and he's a little hulk already. This is him the day he hatched..
..and this was a few minutes ago..
Now watch him turn out to be a pullet since I referred to him as male. LOL If he were English-type he'd be perfect. *sigh* (Edited to remove incorrect breeder attribution. If anyone needs me, I'll be wandering in circles trying to remember where I left my head.

Here are a few of my chicks. I have these that are a week and half old. They are growing so fast
Joy I know what you mean about fat little splash. I can't hardly get the angle so you can see what a big fat chick this is. Big headed too
So Sleepy
Some fat black chicks that hatched Monday

Those are the cutest, fattest little fuzzballs I've ever seen. I'm in love.
Anybody selling English Orp hatching eggs in the U.S?
