Doh! Forgot terramycin!

[frankenchick]

My chicks are 3 days old. I forgot to give them terramycin (forgot until today). Should I do a 3-day regimen, starting now? Or should I just let it go?

They're under a hen right now; I grafted them Tuesday evening.

It's a good thing you forgot it!
Healthy chicks don't need antibiotics of any kind. Giving antibiotics in the absence of a real illness can cause the antibiotics to be ineffective if and when you do need them later on.
Fresh clean water and chick starter is all your healthy babies need.

Ditto! Antibiotics do not prevent disease and are not needed, period.

We didn't give ours antibiotics and they're fine. We don't think they need it.

Don't use any on mine, Poly Vi Sol, ACV, and yogurts done them good.
