Curious as to the eating and drinking volume of 5 chicks in the first 2.5 days in the brooder. Here is a picture of the water and feed dishes.
You can see most of the feed bottle is empty. Maybe 75% of the water bottle is emty. One chick did not eat or drink for the first day, but it seems to be doing so now.
The chicks seem healthy and active so I assume this is par for the course.
side note: they scratched away some of the bedding and are pecking at the cardboard floor. I suppose that is instinct.
