2 chicks with 2 hens

A question: do I need to do anythign specific for the chicks? Like injections or put something in the water? To make them strong and disease resistant?

Nice developmental sequence. Keep that part up. In future I suggest avoiding having to hens coparent a brood. I had had such occur on occasion and overall outcomes are inferior to having a single mother do it. Even though two hens start with more eggs, fewer hatch, and even fewer survive through weaning. Based on averages, two hens coparenting wean fewer chicks than one.
