Its not mold, the green bits are bits of alfalfa. It always looks like that.

Also to @Sammi_0411 yes have chick grit, can also offer some scrambled egg along with everything else

Grit isn't necessary unless they're eating tough food such as corn, or grass.

Okay fair enough was just going my own personal experience of having chick grit avaliable to them

I raised my first set of pullets on this food without issue.

I have the grit on hand for when I started adding fresh, its not currently in with them because they've only been getting the chick feed.

Feed is not medicated.

Oh no I know and I really appreciate it. I really want this little guy to make it.

If anyone is suspicious it might be the feed I can change it, I just know the color is normal for this brand. I picked it because it was what I used before and was familiar with it, I know there are opinions on more "boutique" foods maybe not being as good but I didn't have issues the first go ground.

Again i cant help u on that one we have different kind of brands here in england lol x

 

[Sammi_0411]

Hopefully he / she will make it if theres a horrible chance they dont just remember u are doing all u can xx
I just hatched a set of quails and had so many problems and lost a few etc have 9 healthy week olds at mo tho but i now decided incubator going away for a year has been well to stressful for me this time and just want to concentrate on chickens and quail i already got xxxx

Oh geez ok now a second chick is starting to show the same symptoms albeit not quite as bad. Lifting up one leg and sort of hobbling around, but with more energy.

This can't be a coincidence, I'm clearly doing something wrong.
