Baby chicks don’t eat feed

[Holylolly]

My 4 week baby chicks loved started feed mash after I let them free range they don’t even peck at the feed anymore they hate it all they want is cooked rice are there any alternatives or how do I get them to eat feed again thank u

Moisten the starter feed with water. Nearly all go nuts for it.

Mix small batches by adding hot water, stir, let sit for 5 minutes. It should be the consistency of cooked oatmeal.

Change it out once or twice a day to avoid it spoiling and making them ill.

When I get picky ones I give this in the morning and still keep dry available all day.
