In addition to hydration, it is filled with nutrients and good bacteria. The Gro-gel we purchase comes in a powder and we add water to the amount we need and mix it until it is gel-like. Then, we place a heaping spoonful onto a small paper plate.<\/p>\n<p>At MacFarlane Pheasant Farm, Inc. we are currently using Gro-gel in two places on the farm. It is used with White Pheasant chicks in the Hen Barn and with Hungarian Partridges. In both areas, we use Geo-gel for about 24 hours beginning on the second or third day of a chick\u2019s life. We have found that waiting a couple days to let chicks, in both departments, recover from the hard work of peeping out of the eggs and being transported and handled, results in the best outcome.<\/p>\n<p>The Gro-gel is set out with a little feed on a small paper plate in both situations. The use of Gro-gel is easier to monitor with Hungarian Partridges and White Pheasants because the chicks are kept in a more restricted area and watched very carefully to assure that the Gro-gel is positively affecting the health of the chicks.<\/p>\n<p>Heidi at\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:h.welch@pheasant.com\">h.welch@pheasant.com<\/a>\u00a0and Trudy at\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.apple.com\/\">\u00a0t.deremer@pheasant.com<\/a>\u00a0both have experience with Gro-gel and would be good contacts for folks interested in learning more about the benefits of this product.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-3043\" src=\"https:\/\/pheasant1.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/grogel-reduces-mortality-rates.png\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/pheasant1.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/grogel-reduces-mortality-rates.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"594\" height=\"445\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%27594%27%20height%3D%27445%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%20594%20445%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%27594%27%20height%3D%27445%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pheasant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/grogel-reduces-mortality-rates-200x150.png 200w, https:\/\/www.pheasant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/grogel-reduces-mortality-rates-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/www.pheasant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/grogel-reduces-mortality-rates-400x300.png 400w, https:\/\/www.pheasant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/grogel-reduces-mortality-rates.png 594w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"(max-width: 594px) 100vw, 594px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gro-gel is a super hydrating gel for newborn chicks.
