Going to build my brooder tonight, and hopefully order my chicks in the next day or two.
What's the general consensus on the first couple week feed regime? I've read about grogel a little bit, and I see where some sugar in water for the first day isn't a bad idea. Do you do sugar water AND grogel, or just one? I understand that GroGel is supposed to be a one time application, but I've read where soem folks do it 3-4 feedings, and then every few days they give some more for a week or so. Thoughts on that?
What about electrolytes?
Any any medications I should have on hand? Any of them given as a precautionary measure?
