I have had them for a little over a week and they got sick the day after we brought them home (I will NEVER EVER buy grown chickens again!) They were quite ill and are just within the last 2 days eating again. We feed in a 7lb feeder, the last week you couldn't tell they'd been eating at all, bt the last 2 days, it has been quite noticeable that they're eating 10 times as much as before. In 2 days they ate about 1/4 of the feed in the feeder whereas before, it was still an inch from the top after 5 days!
So my question is are there any treats I can give them that are healthy to help fatten them up a bit? They weigh like half what they did a week ago! They feel so thin and frail and very light when I pick them up to give them their meds compared to how heavy and chunky they were a week ago.
It also doesn't help that they have diarrhea from the antibiotic (I will start probiotics in their water or feed tomorrow after their last dose of antibiotics) and I also thought I saw a wiggling worm in a fresh poo this morning, so I put some wazine in their water today. Poor chickies! They are terrified of us and had to go through all this in their first week!
