Gel Start™ PRO Poultry Probiotic

Gel Start™ PRO (formerly GroGel Plus) is a supplement used for day-old chicks and other baby poultry that provides hydration, nutrients, and probiotics important for starting strong and healthy birds. It is also a helpful way to attract birds to their feed, ensuring that the transition from hatchery to home is a stress-free process for you and your birds.

At Murray McMurray Hatchery we personally start all of our laying flocks with Gel Start PRO, and provide a small scoop of pre-mixed product in each of our poultry shipping boxes, so we can attest to the quality of this product.

Upon arrival, mix 1/2 cup (100 mL) of water with a packet of Gel Start PRO. Offer the mixture to your day-olds as a hydration supplement, or spread it over their food to aid in feed-source attraction.

Add a packet of Gel Start PRO to your order today, and get your baby chicks off to a great start.

Q&A

Once fro hello is mixed, how long should I leave it available to the chicks? Does it get bad in a certain amount of time?
Prepare the Gro Gel with water, and place on top of the chick starter feed for the chicks to consume on their first day at home. After 24 hours, if there is any gel left in the feed trough, please dispose of it.

Is Gro-Gel organic? Is it OMRI certified or okay to use with organically certified birds?
Customer, Gro-Gel is not organic. Mix with 1/2 cup of water per package. NOT ORGANIC- net weight 7 grams Contains grain by products so is not GMO free product Ingredients: processed grain by-products, plant protein products, super absorbent powder, vegetable oil, DL-Methionine, L-Lysine, Vitamin A supplement, Cholecalciferol, Vitamin E supplement, Ascorbic Acid, MSBC (Vitamin K source), Calcium Pantothenate, Thiamine Mononitrate, Roboflavin, Niacin, Pyrodoxine Hydrochloride, Biotin, Folic Acid, Vitamin B12 supplement, Lactobacillus Acidopholus, Lactobacillus Casei, Bifidobacteria Bifidum, Streptococcus Faecium, Bacillus Subtilis, artificial coloring I am not sure what the requirements are for OMRI certification, but since it is not an organic product I would say No. Don't use it for organically certified birds.

Do i give them Quick Chik when they arrive or just the Gro Gel and then the Quick Chik the next day?
We highly recommend using Gro Gel Plus on the first day and then supplementing your flock with either Quik Chik or Broiler Booster for the next several weeks.

for 25 chicks...how much gro gel?
One packet will be enough for 100 baby chickens.

Is Gro Gel Plus the same as Gro Gel Plus "B" ? Do I put the Gro Gel on the food on day of arrival and then next day I put Quik Chik in the water ?
The gel is a probiotic and should be given the first day for best results. Quik chik is a vitamin supplement with electrolytes that will help rehydrate the babies after shipping. You mix it in the water upon receiving the chicks.
