Shipped Ducklings - Sav a chick?

[Kangasox]

I have 4 shipped ducklings arriving (hopefully) tomorrow! Maybe I can post some pictures in a thread instead of reading all this great info!

I think I read somewhere that you can/should give shipped ducklings some of the electrolyte formula when they arrive? I have packets of the electrolyte and probiotic formula on hand, and wasn't sure if I should offer one or both when they arrive.

I also have 6 eggs in the incubator. When they hatch and go into the brooder, should I give them some?

It never hurts to add it to their water. You can do both together, too.
