1st time peahen hatching her eggs and inexperienced owner

Too bad they put soy in it, but that was to boost the protein level. The rest of the ingredients looks good but it really isn't much better than a good chick starter. If you want to look for a really good feed try to pass up the ones with soy in them in favor of animal by-products which are much better for pea health.

Have them on Purina start and grow medicated witch states no animal byproducts on the bag
Was the only medicated starter they had at tractor supply
I was going to supplement with some scrambled eggs.
Would every 2-3 days be good or should I give them some more often?
I have to go to DR in Charlot tomorrow could probably find something better there

After putting in scratch grains in the fermented feed it went over much better
The chickens gobbled it up so tried it again with the peas
the cock ate a decent amount but the hen tried it then led the chicks over by there food
made them some scrambled eggs parents got most of it but all the chicks got some

Not sure if I should treat with Corid. Chicks are running around like speedy Gonzales
They are eating the medicated chick starter should I wait to see if they develop a natural resistance or treat everyone?

Sorry for your loss. How are they doing in the weather?

How are they doing in the weather?

Don't seem to bother them
Was rainy and 40 today and have had frost a few times
Winters are very mild down here
I remember seeing them out in the snow all the time as a kid in Wisconsin
