What can you give chicks instead of vitamins if you don't have any?

I'm sorry your chick didn't make it.

It's helpful to learn from your own experiences and from others.

Occasionally read up on other threads to give you more experience before something turns into a problem. That way you can tackle it right away or find resources to guide you.

Posting emergency thread sometimes take a while for people to respond. And sometimes situations are too critical to wait on.
Just be aware of that.

I'm of the understanding that honey has trace bacteria in it. May I reiterate: wet the chick starter with homemade electrolytes until you can go to town. I'd get Poly-vi-sol in the infant section. It comes with a dropper. The chick is so tiny. A drop or 2. Following with drops of water as with any medicine it can have a strong taste. Good for you for watchmaking to help your chicks.

honey may have some bacteria/virus that is dangerous for the human babies till they are 1 yo. chicks don't have any problem with honey as their immune system is different. many people here give honey water to their chicks. it has to be real honey.
