Baby chicks (less than a week old) dying like flies (6 today)!

Sorry to hear about your troubles, hope everything is going well now.
On the subject, how long do you all recomend electrolites for chicks that are transported?

one week. there is something you can order called GROGEL along with your chicks which in addition to electr/vit also has concentrated nutrition and is a neat green color (which research shows to stimulate pecking/eating)...I think it is great for shipped chicks.
