New chicks - Potential problems?

[lacomb farm]

I am combining purina medicated chick feed and rooster booster vitamins and electrolytes w/ lacto for my chicks which are less than a week old. Has anyone seen this cause problems for them?

Hello and welcome to BYC

I wouldn't give electrolytes to chicks unless they have been shipped or are sick/weak. The medicated starter has enough nutrients in for them and giving extra when they don't really need it can cause more harm than good. If you want to give them an extra boost you can add a splash of unfiltered apple cider vinegar (ACV) to their drink water.
