Have you read the "Chicks 101 -Watch Them Grow" page on this site? I have also found http://www.the-coop.org/cgi-bin/UBB/ultimatebb.cgi to be a really useful site. Good luck.... they'll grow fast soon! Do you find this valuable?

Well mine are just fine but as a percation i bout a few vitamins that you mix in with their food and water I got mine from Mcmurray hatchery.com and when you order chicks they recommend you buy Gro-Gel Plus- which you mix in with their food after they first arrive it rejuvinates them and gets them eating, then Quik Chik which Put this combination of vitamins and electrolytes in the drinking water right from the first day. It will help overcome shipping stress, and vitamin shortage. One 4 oz. package takes care of about 200 chicks for 2 weeks. and finally theres

Broiler Booster which helps strengthen their legs to support the rapid groth rates.
