New chicks! Poultry Cell?

[Layla_Chickens]

Hello! I just bought 4 chicks today and I want them to be healthy as possible. A few weeks ago I bought poultry cell from rooster booster and still haven't had a chance to use it because Im not sure how to measure it. Because they are babies I want to make sure I dont give them too much. How much should I give my chicks? Should I give it to them at all? And will it make my chicks sick? Thank you!

I would not use unless you are experiencing issues within the flock, if you're feeding a good quality chick feed, that's all they need. We use a little sugar water or electrolyte the 1st day or so but nothing else but plain water after that.

Quality chick grower feeds will give your chicks the balanced diet they need.

The directions you posted said 1 oz per gallon of water - just do whatever the directions specify. If you don't need a gallon then scale down to fit the waterer you're using (usually a quart for chicks).
