    At what age do chicks typically figure out the ramp to the pop door?

    can you over feed them?

    ok, thank you! Just got our Chicks yesterday and i woke up every two hours to checkon them and stared at them most of the day to make sure nothing funny was going on... my husband and I are first timers and I want them ALL to make it. They are the cutest and sweetest babies I have ever seen!

    can you over feed them?

    How do I know if I am over feeding my chicks? should I take their food away? If it sits there they just eat and eat until they look like they are going to explode. I don't want them to develop Ascites.
