CPF Chick/Duckling Starter Kits
($13.00)
When your picking up your chicks don't forget the accessories. Your CPF
Chick Starter Kit contains the following and is sufficient to sustain up to a
dozen day olds for a week. What you get:
-
4 grams of Electrolytes Plus
(just
dissolve a pinch in your 1 quart water jug when you do your daily water
change for the first 4 days (About a gram a day) Electrolytes Plus is
a water soluble multi-vitamin and electrolyte mixture for chickens that's
used as an aid in stimulating appetite during periods of stress, it helps
your chicks during their move and settling into their new home.
-
1 Quart plastic water jug
with screw on base: (Has a narrow drinking slot
designed to prevent drowning of quail, pheasant or baby chicks.)

-
1 kg of medicated starter
feed (I always recommend that beginners
start with medicated chick starter, that's what's in the CPF Chick Starter
kit. The medication is a coccidiostat and is found in most medicated
chick and turkey starter feeds. What it prevents is your chicks coming
down with coccidiosis. Both CoOp and ShurGain sell non-medicated feeds
if that's what you prefer. It's often best to wait until you're more
experienced and you feel your management is pretty good to try the
non-medicated starter.) If you are buying ducklings a 1 kg package of
non-medicated duck starter will be included instead of the chick starter.
- 1 Round
Metal Chick Feeder: 6" diameter, 7 holes, snap off
top.
