Should I leave the Baby Cakes in there full time then? Right now, I'm taking out after I get home from school (around 3:30) so they get it for about 7 hours during the day. I'm afraid that they will only eat that and not their starter feed.baby cakes are formulated by a naturalist that is right here on BYC.... (although not too active lately) He designed housing and food for Galliform exhibits for Zoos.
Baby Cakes and Farmers hleper are awesome supplement to their diet. They are full of micronutrients essential fatty acids and protiens.... He also makes a feed which is Pohibitive to buy in large quantities price wise but they suggest to add it to the feed as 5 percent of their ration. Its called Ultra Kibble.

Good nutrition at an early age forms good bones and a robust individual. Exercise and learning hunting techniques is good for them too.
Another good for them treat is Kale poke it through the bars of a suet feeder and once they figure it out watch out.
Make sure they have access to grit though if you are introducing Big Bird feeds...

The chicks are 4 weeks old, btw.
