WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? WHAT DID YOU JUST RECEIVE?

[Shido Burrito]

One last pic before bedtime! My chicks are calm and warm with their current clear infrared. Should I buy a red one so they can sleep better at night? Right now I'm sure it's baby exhaustion that puts them to sleep.

I got mine too!! The PO called me at 10pm and I was able to go right down and get them. All 10 are very healthy, happy and full of it.

try to add a little sugar to their water and dip their beaks in it to get them to drink

 

[wny egger]

thank you I just started the sugar water ..I had tried probiotic water but have switched to sugar water ..just a pinch to a shotglass full of water ..is that enough ..

I've personally never had to use it myself so I'm not sure. sugar water is just what I have always been told to use in that case. I would think it would be enough however

I put a few pinches of sugar into the drinking dish when i got mine and dipped all their beaks...then at the end of the day added a little more sugar and water.. and and then the 2nd day i changed their water to electrolight-priobiotic...then the 3rd day i gave them frsh regular water...

Sugar water really helped mine over come the stress of relocation. It gave them energy and perked them right up whenever they seemed to be droopy.

I read that an electrolyte solution can help too - like Gatorade, or one made specially for chicks. I hope they make it through!

Mine just shipped today. Can't wait and hope they travel well!!

poultry drench or polyvisol without iron and scrambled eggs as well as sugar water...like a tablespoon in a cup of water.
