Are starter crumbles too big for bantam chicks?

[daze333]

Thank you so much for this post! I just hatched two half banty chicks and I gave them boiled yolk first, then tried to move on to the chick feed and they wouldn't eat it and cry because they were hungry. Today I ground some feed up in my food processor and they gobbled it down!
Thanks again!

I have an eensy beensy serama chick and I put medicated chick starter in the blender dry, whiz it up, and pour it into a big plastic cup. When i feed the serama and the other chicks in with him, I put some in a little plastic jar lid and cover it with water, stir it a little with my finger. They go to town on it and I rinse it out and refill it a few times a day, all the time offering the ground up starter dry free fed all the time. Eventually I assume they will wean themselves off the mush and move on to the crumbles.
