Nutri-Drench for baby Buttons?

[TeresaW]

I've heard recommendations for Nutri-Drench for weak baby chickens. So I looked it up. It has a dropper feed system and on a video a guy said he fed his chick one drop a day. But button chicks are so much smaller. Is one drop too much for it?

Also, what's the difference between it and Sav-a-chick? I already have Sav-a-chick and am wondering if I also need to purchase the Nutri-Drench.

Sav-a-chick is an electrolyte supplement, while Nutri-Drench is more of an extra calorie/nutrition boost. They both have their place for weak chicks. I used Nutri-Drench by diluting it in water and giving the chicks as much of that as they're willing to drink.

How much do you dilute it for buttons?

How much do you dilute it for buttons?

I don't measure, but about 1 to 5 parts water?
