Homemade Electrolyte Recipe for weak/ill chicks
2 C. Water
2 TBL. Brown Sugar, honey or molasses
1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp. Baking Soda

Mix until all dry ingredients dissolve & Keep refrigerated

You could also use electrolyte drinks Gatorade or Pedialyte, or
3 drops of POLYVISOL (liquid childrens A-B-D vitamins)


Slowly drip along inner edge of lower beak.

We are in lockdown!!! Our first hatch has made it to lockdown. Stats are:
30 eggs set
13 eggs infertile
17 at lockdown
(2 eggs possible have passed and 1 egg I dont this was fertile but the shell is so sark it is hard to tell, and it is my first time so their is that learning curve thing).
Eggs due to hatch 8pm Thursday night unless I am suppose to add one day. I set them 8pm on a Thursday.
