First time raising chicks. Any tips?

[FamilyFarm12]

Nutridrench i believe is a nutrition boost for the chicks. I use probiotic chick boost. I didn’t use mine a lot only when they were very little

Nutridrench is an electrolyte, vitamin and mineral suppliment that is absorbed by chicks extremely quickly because it bypasses their digestive system and is absorbed straight into the bloodstream. This is good because sometimes when babies ship they can get upset stomachs from the stress.

Good idea with the plastic lining. I actually used dog wee wee pads and they were highly effective because they actually absorb the moisture instead of retaining it. Plus they were super cheap, like 10 for $2.50.

Thanks for the tips! I've never heard of Nutridrench but now I do, I'll pick some up later today or tomorrow.
That puppy pee pad is a good idea but I'm going to stick with the plastic. I appreciate it guys! Thank you.
