Congratulations on your new additions!
Here are some helpful tips to help your little feathered cuties get the best start.
-
For the trip home Hatchlings will need to be kept warm. Consider adding a hand warmer underneath the bedding/pad.
-
Hatchlings require average temperatures of 95 degrees. This temperature can be reduced by 5 degrees weekly.
-
Brooder plate or warming light is needed
-
Provide Unlimited Fresh water.
-
Offer water with Poultry NutriDrench
You can add Poultry Nutri Drench to hatchlings water to give them added nutritional support. I like to offer both fresh water and poultry cell. After they are 4 weeks old, I like to give them a Poultry Cell in their water weekly.
*Silkies require more protein in their diet than other chicken breeds to support their beautiful fluffy feathers.
A suggested Diet should be made up of 22-24% protein.
I suggest a crumble form mixture of:
18-20% protein chick starter, 20% Flockraiser, and 30% gamebird . 50/25/25
For smaller chicks, consider grinding up some of the crumbles.
Enjoy your new fluffy cuties!
