Baby chicks hatch knowing approximately three things.
Peep loudly. Poop everywhere. Follow anything that looks remotely like Mom.
Their digestive system is still a work in progress.
FlockLeader™ Arrive is a daily probiotic and prebiotic supplement formulated specifically for newly hatched and young poultry. It combines live beneficial bacteria, prebiotics, and plasma proteins to support healthy digestion, nutrient absorption, and normal immune development during those first important weeks of life.
Basically, we're giving the inside of the chick a little help while the outside works on becoming an actual chicken.
Arrive isn't just the baby version of an adult poultry supplement.
Its probiotic blend includes strains selected for young birds, while dried chicory root provides prebiotics that feed beneficial gut bacteria. Plasma proteins add nutritional support during a stage when chicks are growing ridiculously fast and their digestive and immune systems are still developing.
It's suitable for chickens and other poultry species during their first 6 to 8 weeks, then FlockLeader recommends transitioning to Thrive for older birds.
Maltodextrins, animal plasma, dried chicory root, dried Enterococcus faecium fermentation product, dried Lactobacillus reuteri fermentation product, dried Bifidobacterium bifidum fermentation product, dried supernatant of Lactobacillus casei KE01 fermentation product, and silicon dioxide.
Add 1 teaspoon of FlockLeader™ Arrive to 1 gallon of fresh drinking water daily, or mix 1 teaspoon thoroughly into 2 pounds of feed.
Discard unused supplemented water after 24 hours and prepare fresh as needed. Continue through the chick stage according to the current package directions.
Once your birds reach approximately 6 to 8 weeks, transition to FlockLeader Thrive Poultry Supplement for ongoing probiotic and prebiotic supplementation.
Arrive supplements a complete chick starter appropriate for the species. It doesn't replace proper brooder temperature, fresh water, good sanitation, or appropriate nutrition.
Baby chicks already have enough to figure out.
Walking without falling over is apparently a full-time job.
