I just received my first chicks - buff orpingtons and partridge rocks. I lost 13 out of 25 over the first 48 hours but the rest are doing fine and growing like little weeds at one week old. I got my chicks from Meyer hatchery in Ohio and they were great to work with and were happy to replace the lost chicks or give me a refund. being new at this, can someone tell me when I should start giving them grit? Thanks.
