Why not give him away? He will go faster.

I know that mealworms have some fat in them but they have 53% protein, chick starter has only 20%.

Okay, they are back on chick starter. I only give them meal worms as a treat but they get live ones, not dried, I don't know that it matters. thank you for your help.

Yes, thank you. I will try that. And as soon as my larvae are ready, I will get them back on that. Its 46% protein.

They are somewhere around 10-12 weeks old?

I am feeding them choice grain. I just recently weaned them off chick starter and they are on scratch and lay mash. I also feed them BSFL and meal worms, but not as much now since my bins are not producing as much, and the mice cleaned out my meal worms. Do you think they need more protein?

I hatched the chicks myself. I have the parents. Yes, they started with down then grew feathers and now are losing them.

Not all of my Marans have feathered legs for some reason.

Maybe those fell out too!

Its a blue/black Maran.

I live in southern California.

Some of my chicks have bald heads. Does anyone know why? They have free choice to large amounts of composting fruits and vegetables, which I replenish 3 days a week .(they eat almost all of it) Plus free choice of grain. I was wondering if it could be from the bacteria. They look like buzzards.
