Well my wife and I placed an order for our first baby chicks this evening! We decided to go with 15 pullets, a brown egg layer assortment offered by Mt. Healthy Hatchery here in SW Ohio. They should be arriving in two weeks!....now I have to get started on building the coop and run (thank God I have some time before they'll be moving to the coop otherwise I might have to shovel some snow in order to begin construction). My question for all of you who are more exerpienced at this....do you recommond a medicated chick starter or just plain old chick starter? If medicated, for how long? What about vitamins? I think I've got he heat lamp thing down but I'm a little curious about the feed and vitamins...I want to make sure they are healthy. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
