Excited! Just ordered Chicks from Ideal.

For my chicks, I put some start and grow crumbles on some paper towels and some save-a-chick in their water for a boost. Newly hatched chicks still drying out.

They were last years chicks. My chicks from this years hatch have just recently started to lay. Here is a Leghorn pullet egg next to one of my older girls eggs.

This is vitamins and electrolytes. One package to a gallon of water.

I bought the Durvet Vitamins and Electrolytes.
I heard its made by the same company, but more cost effective.

Not sure where you are in AZ, but we have had about 5 orders come in over the past couple years and they have all come in fine, 3 of the orders came in after September 20th of different years. Good luck, our post office calls us immediately upon receipt. They are pretty happy about the cheeping packages when I get there, it seems to cheer people up quite a bit!

My chicks arrived at the post office!
I'm on my way to pick them up.

One died in the shipping box and some are kinda weak.
So 9 survived so far.
I tried to put them near the heat plate, but they dont like being under it.
I think I need to buy a heat lamp right now.

Do you have any supplements you can put in the water?
