I loved hatching my buttons. They are so much fun

One thing I had to do with mine is run the chick starter through a coffee grinder for a couple of weeks to make it a tad smaller for them. Good luck

Did you add any water to make a mash?

No, I just ground it a bit finer - about half the size of trad. chick starter.
