Vitamins?

[Nicole01]

Hello everyone. My husband and I just got 3 baby hens(hopefully hens) 3 days ago. They are about 2 weeks old(I think) and are our very first chicks. I'm absolutely in love. Their names are Cookie, Sunshine and Gyspy Rose. My 3 children each named them. They are in the house under a heating lamp for now and will be indoors until the snow melts. We are hopefully getting our coop this week or the next.

My question is what vitamins do I need to buy my babies to keep them at their best health?

A good balanced chick starter has enough vitamins and minerals to meet the babies nutritional needs. However, a lot of people myself included will give chicks and adults some water soluable vitamins and electrolytes during times if stress. I get them at my local feed store or Farm and Fleet. The name that comes to mind is Blue RIbbon. I can't remember if that is the company or the name the company who makes the product calls it!

Also,

! Glad you are here! Have fun with your new chickens and I love the names that our kids named them! Very clever!

Thank you very much.

I will keep some on hand for future if needed.
