      I'll try this. How many inches (or cm) of ginger to a liter of water? And how much sugar to the liter of water?
      I got chicks in the mail this spring that took 3 days instead of 2 to arrive. 3/4 fell dead in the following 2 days. Just like is happening to him. I want to have a plan to prevent that ever happening again. It was traumatic

    Im surprised with all your experiments to produce cheaper feed etc that you have not decided to hatch your own eggs. In my experience, even here in the U.S., every time i have to rely on another company it usually ends in disappointment. Of course it would be alot of work to hatch your own eggs but your chickens would thrive! You would have better quality control.. you would not suffer as many loses. Your farm would be self sustaining!! Thank you for the great content

I have used small dose off potassium pemanginat in the water. And my food feeders are basically old icecream containers small holes so they can feed and not stand in it. I do believe it had been a long trip for them i have created a area it's a old deepfreaz as quarinteen area a bite extra heat from lamps for my weak chicks. Just a few sajestions I love your vids and need to get black soldier fly I'm in South Africa the feed costs so much not up to standards always eather.

      I really pity you. After journey for 72hrs, you shouldn't have given them pellet, you ought to have given them Starter Mash, before then you should have given then multivitamins, water and gradually starter mash. I don't think they have much problem than dehydration and stress. Continue giving multivitamins and change their food to starter mash for upward of one to two weeks for them to stabilize.
      Don't be depressed, everything will be alright.
      All the best.
