Hi all! Im new to the chicken world and have a few questions. I have 13 chicks about 2.5 weeks old now.. I have them in the basement nice and toasty in their big brooder. They eat a TON of the starter chick food, although they do spill a decent amount onto the floor of their coop. Will they eat this food? I think i end up throwing a decent amount away...
Also, i have given them some treats including scrambled egg, a few dried meal worms and grapes with grit. They get so excited. I have heard mixed things about giving treats to chicks, but I dont really see the problem if they are eating plenty of their regular food.. Any thoughts? I want them to be happy, and theyre growing super fast.
Last thing is that they grt shavings/poop/etc in their water ALL the time. Any ideas on how to prevent this? I clean it and ten min later its a disaster...
Any thoughts are appreciated!
