Chicks are here in an hour and I need quick help!

I got the Poultry Nutra Drench for them but have forgotten, and the bottle doesnt help, but how much do I give them? One drop in the mouth? Or what? lol Panicking!

No need to panic, everything will be fine.

Congratulations on the new additions!

Nope, no need to panic at all. They'd be fine on water alone, although when I have chicks shipped I sometimes use Save-A-Chick in their water for a day or so if they seem stressed. After that just clean, fresh water. Maybe some ACV later if I have any with pasty butt.

I have a bottle of Nutri-Drench I use for my older birds, says to add 4 oz per gallon of water for birds 1 - 4 days old, 2 oz for birds 5-14 days old and so on.
