A lady came by today and dropped off a chick that I think may be a grouse(?) It's singing away in our brooder, but what should it eat?
Can I raise it on our chick starter feed?
So far, it's been most excited by a watermelon rind :)
We just got 26 chicks in yesterday, and two died right away, arching backs and falling over then foaming at the mouth when they died. I checked all the chicks of them for pasty butt last night, but today another one is fading out -- lethargic and tipping over.
I tried dipping her beak in water...
