  2. They need not just fish. They need starter/grower for there first month old. The brand is Dumor feed. This is at a local Tractor Supply Company. Or another Non Medicated feed.

    When they rech 2 months old they can eat scratch feed mixed with the starter until just eventuall just have the scratch feed.

    Of course you know that you need a safe area as well for them. Brooder is needed until they are 1 montrh old. have fresh bedding of towels or shavings, feed/water, and a heatlamp.

    After that they can go outside ain a safe pen. Get them a kiddy pool to swim in as well
