Probiotics & electrolytes

[cktap62]

Hi! Our 7 chicks are 11 days old. I am wondering how long to give them the probiotics and electrolytes in the water? They are doing great so far. We bought them at a farm/garden store.
Thank you!

Electrolytes are for sporadic use for stress due to sodium level - if they've already been home a few days and are doing well I'd discontinue use.

Probiotics... some folks use them regularly, some don't use them at all. I use them on occasion but not as a regular addition to their diet.

Thank you! I’ll just give them plain fresh water.
