First time hatching my own chicks, I know often times hatchery chicks are vaccinated and I’m wondering what if anything the average person does when hatching themselves. I have a small flock of 10 a little over a year old with no known diseases/ health issues.
I’ve heard of bringing in some of the dirt from my yard into the brooder but what else should I be doing? I didn’t use medicated feed on my current flock but should I with the ones I hatch? I’m not huge into using medications or interventions unnecessarily but I also want my chicks to be healthy
