I ordered 15 sebright chicks that are supposed to be here the end of next week. I have spent a lot of time reading about these birds, because currently we only have buff orphington & white japanese black tailed (only 2) chickens. Some say sebright chicks are hard to keep alive for the first 2-3 weeks. So, should I feed them the medicated chick feed? I do have other chickens, and I can't guarantee something might get crossed between the pens. We got 3 japanese bantams in April and unfortunately one died from cocci. So, I am a bit concerned. Also, should I put vitamin supplements in their water? Any other tidbits I should know?
I am soooooooooooooooooooooo excited!!!! And can hardly wait!!
I don't want ANYTHING to go wrong with my little chickee's when they do arrive. I have been counting down the days! One look at this bird and I just feel in love
I had to get some!!!
Any help will be appreciated! By the way they are supposed to hatch at Cackle Hatchery on July 28th!! Woo Hoo!!!! (never gotten any from a hatchery before!) And I did get the vaccines they offered.
