help with TSC Checklist (sheep and chickens)

[MROO]

Ummm - maybe this is too obvious .. but chick starter feed?
I always keep generic pedialyte pops around for electrolytes - for both chickens and sheep ... and overheated teenage football players ...
Another thing that you may not need right away, but will eventually, is a pair of good hoof trimmer. A nice pair of tin snips worked best for me. They fit my hand better. If you start handling the babies' feet now, it'll be much easier when yhey top 100 pounds and you have to wrestle them down to trim cleats!

Marbles/gravel to weigh down chick waterer?

The marbles in the chicks waterer is to keep them form getting soaking wet if when they walk thru it...and in case they fall asleep with their face in it they are less likely to drown(rare, but it's happened).

True—but I mostly use it to weigh down the waterer, becuase when they get to a certain size, they will knock it over and soak their bedding.
