Raising Chicks

[Colorful Eggs]

Are you raising chicks from day-olds, or hatching some?

For raising chicks you will need:
1. Chick Starter/Grower feed
2. Chick grit
3. Chick electrolytes/Probiotics
4. A heat source. Preferably a Mamma Heating Pad or EcoGlo. Heat bulbs are dangerous.

A tip I have is to get a container large enough to keep the chicks in until they are old enough to go outside. The less containers you have to change to, the better.

Thank you for your help! I am just raising day old chicks right now. I will have about 15 of them
