Hello,
I ordered 6 chicks from a local feed store which should be delivered in 2 days. I'm using a bathtub in a spare bathroom as a brooder. I lined it with rough paper towels and have a Premier 1 Comfort Chicks heater. I also have pine shavings to put down once the babies are able to find the food and water without problem. I bought Sav-A-Chick electrolytes and probiotics as I read the traveling can be stressful for the little guys and this helps. The package says to offer both the Sav-A-Chick mixture AND separate plain water. However, no forums make reference to providing both. Does anyone have experience with this?
