Glad you joined us! This site it great - you can pick a forum and type in a short question in the Search Nav and it will bring up threads that relate to your question. Hours of reading and tons of information. Congrats on getting chicks. You can add a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar (ACV) to their water to help prevent pasty butt.
