We just got our first batch of chicks at the feed store. We got 100 mixed run sexed female chicks. I can hardly hear myself think. When the chicks arrive we give them drinking lessons. I put Rescue Remedy in the water and as I take each chick out of the box I dip her beak in the water until she drinks. Then I put her in the brooder with an extra heat lamp by the feed so they will eat rather than huddle. We start them out on 20% organic chick starter. Now I am waiting for them to settle in. If one is just sitting I check her vent for blockage and give another drink of water. They will all go to good homes and lay for their new owner.
