    I've got a baby chick that faints every time it drinks water

    Good idea, Rachael! We've got a "Magic Bullet" knockoff brand mini blender that will probably make it just the right size. I'll try a hand full and see how the Bantams like it tomorrow for breakfast. If it works out well, I'll do it on the regular. You know, our very first Bantam was named...

    I've got a baby chick that faints every time it drinks water

    Our baby bantams have no feathers on their feet at all, so it doesn't seem likely that they're silkies. I'm proud to report that Jack is no longer fainting when she drinks water! The vitamin supplements are en route currently, which I will feed to all of the baby bantams. This morning I took...

    I've got a baby chick that faints every time it drinks water

    We recently got six new chicks to join our six ladies because the older ones are nearing the ends of their lives. On a whim, because we'd had a few before, we got three bantam chicks along with three golden sexlink chicks - all hens of course. One of the bantam chicks, the smallest, named Jack...
