Hatching
My girls will be here tomorrow! New to raising chickens, but went to visit my grandparents chicken farm every summer as a child. Wow, how much I didn't know or forgot. I have done lots of research to afford my girls the best possible start, but still have a few questions I'm hoping for some input from some experts. Have my brooder set up and ready, water resting to come to room temp. I have electrolyte gel coming with chicks. Should I give it to them immediately or water? How long should they be kept in the brooder before I can start letting them outside in the yard? Should I give them 24/7 food access? How much chick feed should I figure per chick, per day? What age exactly do Easter Eggers start to lay? my grandpa always had marans. Thanks for any help
