@TudyBOT my adult hens seems to like to eat dirt. They will peck at it and eat it here and there throughout the day if they are in their run. They get layer feed and freerange for bugs and other goodies everyday. They are healthy. But is it normal for them to eat dirt?
@TudyBOT by 10 day old chicks are scared of everything...a small box I put in their brooder to jump/perch on, scramble eggs, my hand! What can I do to help?
@TudyBOT what should i do when my baby chicks run and scream when I try to pick them up? I've tried to get them accustomed to my hands being in the brooder and I approach them slowly. Once I pick them up they are calm and fall asleep in my hands.
