I have three baby chicks that are about a week old, got them from the local garden shop. One silver laced wyandotte and two salmon faverolles. They are not eating! I raised chicks last year and all they did was eat. This morning they have started racing around peeping and pecking at the sides of the brooder and eating little tiny flecks of nothing and ignoring the food right in front of them. Last night I tried to give them some hard boiled egg yolk, they have a feeder full of medicated chick feed and non medicated chick feed, I have tried a little lettuce and scratch as well. They frantically drink alot of water but I don't see much poop in the brooder either. they do seem to have a lot of energy, they just do not touch their food. Any thoughts?
