Do you run your waterer through the dishwasher to clean it, or just use warm water/soap?

Duly noted. Thank you. I will change it according to the proper dosage.

:yuckyuck This is very true. I believe it's because adding water/heating the food up makes it more aromatic/flavorful. But, in your opinion, it would not hurt them in any way to have them drink a higher concentration for longer?

Ah, I see. Since you leave the dry food out as well, do you notice them preferring to eat the wet food (just out of curiosity)? And curious if anyone knows about this. On the Nutri-Drench bottle it says to mix up fresh solution daily. Is this because it somehow loses potency after a day, or are...

What is "mash" exactly?

Ok, sounds good. I suppose that’s something I could have figured out myself but I don’t have the bottle yet, so pardon my laziness.

I have the type of bottles that prevent them from dirtying the water, so any nutridrench I put in there wouldn’t be wasted. How much would you put in a 1 L container?

Do you guys think it's a good idea to give chicks some Nutri-Drench when they first come home, just as a precaution? Shipping seems really stressful. Do you do anything special to help them recover from it?

How much food will a single chick eat during the chick food phase? I've got some chicken math going on, so I'm getting somewhere between 7 & 17 chicks, and I'm trying to figure out how much food they'll need. Will one 50 lb bag of food last them the entire 18 weeks they're on chick food, or will...

How many pounds of oyster shell and grit would you estimate 7 chickens would go through in a month? (6 chickens for the shells since one is a boy and won't need them)

Hi guys, I'm moving along in my chicken preparations, and I need to start figuring out what to feed them. I know chicks eat different food (Chick Starter) than adults do (Layer Feed/Grower Feed?). I need the following questions answered: 1. I have heard that you switch from chick food to...
