Gro Gel for Shipping Chicks
GroGel® Hydration Gel for Shipping Day-Old Poultry
Help your chicks, poults, and other hatchlings get the best possible start during shipping.
Shipping can be stressful for newly hatched birds. GroGel® provides a convenient source of hydration, nutrients, vitamins, and probiotics to support day-old poultry until they arrive safely at their destination. The bright green gel naturally attracts chicks, encouraging them to peck and begin eating quickly after hatch or during transport.
At Bryant's Roost, I mix GroGel into a soft gel and place it in small cups secured inside my shipping boxes. I've had excellent results using this method to provide moisture and encourage chicks to stay active during transit.
Why Use GroGel?
Provides hydration during shipping and the first day after arrival
Contains probiotics, vitamins, proteins, and amino acids to support young birds
Encourages newly hatched chicks to begin pecking quickly
Easy to mix and use
Trusted by commercial hatcheries and professional poultry breeders worldwide
Great For
Chicks
Quail
Turkey poults
Ducklings
Game birds
Other newly hatched poultry
How I Use It
Mix one packet according to the manufacturer's directions until it forms a soft gel. I place the prepared gel into small disposable cups that are securely attached inside each shipping box. This keeps the gel clean, minimizes spills, and gives hatchlings easy access throughout their trip.
Pro Tip: GroGel is intended as a short-term hydration supplement during shipping or immediately after hatch. Birds should still have access to fresh water and feed as soon as they arrive.
Whether you're shipping birds across the state or across the country, GroGel is an easy addition that can help reduce shipping stress and support healthier arrivals.
