Ukroosterman 548 Posted April 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 it's 25 percent chick starter crumbs 25 percent boiled rice 20 percent hard boild egg crushed shell aswell.... 20 percentage boild pasta strings chop up into small peices.... And ten percent dog fod..... Stir up well add 3 heaping table spoons of honey and sir again leave sit over night and feed the next morning..... Also a small handful of carnery egg mix couple times a week is great for them.... It is full of vitamins... .... Keep one cap of cider vinger in there drinking water along with a peice of garlic.... Give chicks warm water first to days of there life's as cold water can give them chills..... I all so feed straite boild eggs for the first tow days..... it doesn't hurt to add pinch of suger to there water the first day..... I treat for cocci at 6 weeks and and worm them with pipezine chick wormer at 8 weeks I don't let them any genes till at least 6 weeks as it can cause pasting up.... Also all water should drained of the boild food befor it is added to the mix..... Hope this helps it as worked well for myself ATB ukroosterman Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ukroosterman 548 Posted April 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 Thanks willie.... Only foolish man thinks he nows everythink there is now in this hobby.... We are all still learning. Some things may sound crazy till you try it out for self then it all seems to make sence when you look back at it.... one thing I will say is don't pamper chicks to much treat them for worms lice and cocci any think else that still look sick in slightzed way should be culled..... Mother Nature now better then any of us..... So leave her do her job!.... Once start madaciting to keep chicks a live you never breed healthy fowl you need breed for vigure Constitution and health.... Uk Quote Link to post Share on other sites

willie thorn 102 Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 I agree the overuse of antibiotics and other can do allot of harm..

I think if possible having your chicks free range is the best way to build up there immune system..promote growth..health... And overall wellness I would after agree with that willie I'm strong Believer in keep as close to nature as possible.... But early part of the year it is best to keep them in side to there fully featherd due to the cold and wet months we have.... Also somethink I would like to add is don't leave a hen and chicks in a pen with a perch as I have seen hens fly up and roost and leave the chicks on the ground to die of cold.... Theses hen are not good mothers I watch hens closely with chicks and keep records of hatch rates and survival rates... If a hen mess up the egg incubating or make a bad mother she is culled from my breeding program.... Uk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
