Do I Need That Special Food For Shipped Eggs...

[skyisfalling]

i am expecting my chicks from ideal on thursday, they sent me an email about some special gel for shipped eggs do you think i need to buy it

It's called gro-gel and my chicks hardly ate any of it.

But if it's going to take more than a day for you chicks to get to you, it might be a good idea.

You do know the chicks are not shipped in eggs, right?

I don't think it's necessary either for shipped chicks. Prepare a sugar water solution or even plain water and they should do just fine if you dip their beaks to get them started.

UUmm shipped eggs or shipped chicks? Why would you need special food for shipped eggs? Your title says shipped eggs.

Ummm...are you getting CHICKS or EGGS (you state both)?

You posted the answer as I was posting- sorry.

I use non-medicated starter and a product for their water called Chic 2-in-1 - it helps prevent disease adn boost their little immune systems. Good luck!
