How To Get Chicks Off To A Strong Start Part 2

Are you ready to give your chicks the best start in life? We've got a lively discussion lined up for you, packed with crucial insights on the first 14 days of a chick's life. This episode is all about helping chicks build a strong foundation for a healthy future. We explore the importance of the right diet and why you should hold off on treats and mealworms. Instead, we suggest a piece of sod can provide an immune-boosting playground for your chicks. From the ideal hatching egg size to debating the best time to transition chicks from incubator to brooder, we dive into every detail that can contribute to the long-term success of your chicks.

The conversation doesn't stop there! We share valuable tips for chick care, such as the necessity of clean, warm water and the benefits of a homemade electrolyte mix. We also discuss how to prepare your brooder before the chicks arrive, and when to introduce a dust bath using peat moss as a natural medium. And let's not forget about the social aspect! We touch upon the often overlooked benefits of handling and socializing chicks. So tune in and join us on this journey, because we aren't just talking poultry; we're sharing our love for it.
