I don't give vitamins on a regular basis. When I get chicks shipped I do give Save-A-Chick in the water for a few days, especially if I have any slow or stressed chicks. After that just plain, fresh water and all the chick starter they want to eat. Their starter is a balanced feed so it's usually not necessary to give a lot of extra vitamins unless there is a problem.when i get my chicks in january should i give them vitamins? how long should i feed chick starter? also, how old should my chicks be before i move them out of the brooder. any help is very welcome.
You don't need to give them vitamins, though vitamins can be beneficial, particularly if the chicks are stressed from shipping or something else. If you do decide to give vitamins, I would recommend water soluble ones. Mix the vitamins into the water at the correct dosage and give them for a week or so.when i get my chicks in january should i give them vitamins? how long should i feed chick starter? also, how old should my chicks be before i move them out of the brooder. any help is very welcome.
