Re: [CHICKENS-101] Please Help

 

pretty much just need chick starter feed, a heat source (to keep them at about 95-100 degrees the first week), and a water source that they can't drown in (chickens are stupid).   If the chicks haven't been vaccinated for Coccidiosis (sp?) you can use a medicated chick feed (can't feed the medicated feed and have the chicks vaccinated). 


Hope that helps!!
