Before Your Chicks Arrive Part 4 of 4

The Day Your Chicks Arrive
On the day your chicks arrive fill your feeders and waterers. Thoroughly mix a teaspoon of sugar into a quart of very warm water (98 degrees) to give the chicks some energy to begin the feeding process. The warm water will hydrate your new chicks and increase their body temperature. Place your feeders and waterers in the brooder keeping them out from under the heat lamps. You should cover the woodchips with a layer of paper towels. Sprinkle feed on the towels. This will allow the new arrivals to eat feed rather than woodchips.
