try using electrolytes in their water

actual chicken electrolytes are probably better than gatorade

My chick is still on chick starter, and I have heard a lot of people say they feed their chickens grower feed as they get older... But I'm pretty new with this hole chicken thing and I was wondering if GROWER feed is just for chickens you're going to eat, or if it is for any chickens your...

however, they will instinctually go in at some point, because they have to lay... but if you want them to go in on command then that's what I would do...

my chick is a baby, only a couple weeks, I'm raising her to show, so she gets some special attention.

I'm new in the chicken business, I recently got some chicks to raise, and show in FFA when they are bigger. They are only a few weeks old... I have a couple questions concerning my chicks' health. They look healthy and eat and drink as they please. 1) Is it normal for chicks to molt when they...
