    What to feed my babies :)

    Thanks! I just read the "treat list" posted here. I would have never thought to feed them yogurt! Going to try it tomorrow. I didn't see buckwheat listed. Is that okay? My youngest eats buckwheat, rice and quinoa...so I would love to feed those if they are safe to the chickens. He can have...
