No, it is not a wise practice to give antibiotics to chicks during the first few days of brooding unless there is a diagnosed infection. 🕊️

Whether you choose to use antibiotics or not, just make sure not to make it the first drink after arrival. They need to settle in and get rid of the transportation stress first. In some cases, transport stress significantly impacts the immune profile of birds, making them incapable to handle some strong antibiotics on the first day.

Antibiotics and vitamins may be continued for 3-5 days. Keep medicated water in the water before leaving the chicks into the brooder arrangement. Keep feeders open for five hours and spread a little feed on the newspaper.
