Flock raiser and free choice calcium. I grind up the crumbles for the very little ones.

thank you Ron
I think flock raiser is 19 or 20%.
Would non medicated chick start be the same?

TSC had a non medicated starter that was 27%. 20% is good though.

I finally have a reason to clean out the barn that get more then me motivated to do it =) they can either help or build me an incubating/hatching shed =) either way we'll have to hook up some power, maybe I'll throw some solar panels on top too so I can roll my eyes when they tell me about how much electricity I'll be using lol

Thank you both. I just candled all 4 and they look like they might be duds from pictures I've found online. Cant Really make out the shape of a chick in any just a dark mass to one end. She has been off quite a bit showing the other 5 where the food and water is. I had posted elsewhere about one chick being wobbly but seems to be pulling thru.
Also have ducks hatching under a mallard right now.
Its been a lot of fun so far

Watch out before you know it you will be hooked.....LOL

oh its far to late for that. there's another broody duck behind her by a week or so and I'm hoping my Swedes sit on their respective nests soon. Almost 20 eggs a piece there. About to double my volume. I don't think this emote smiles big enough!

I had Swedish ducks before & they were very reliable layers. I had just a trio & had 2 eggs a day. Those hens stayed busy.
