They are 12 weeks old and get that which falls out of the main feeder. That’s why I said some, because it’s not feed directly.You don't want to give chicks layer feed.
Okay, that shouldn't be much of a problem then.They are 12 weeks old and get that which falls out of the main feeder. That’s why I said some, because it’s not feed directly.
At 12 weeks and not growing, we are thinking that may be the sad truth. Just weren’t sure if there were any last ditch efforts we can make. She does pretty well eating the grower crumble. This is a first for us.Every chick isn't going to make it to adulthood, very true.
Is she picking through these food choices, and not eating her grower diet? That can be fixed; otherwise, maybe she's just not going to do well for long.
