I actually already do those things too.That was way too vague. I'm gone from 7:30am to 5:00pm every day. I must a plan well in advance to make sure most everyone has a good day including the chicks. What I do is make sure that everyone is fed and watered before I leave. Make sure the temps are right for the age of the chicks in the brooder. At the end of the day check their butts as often as you can. If it's pasty clean it and continue with the probiotics as often as you can.
