Your little silkie needs to have proper food. Go to your dad. Tell him that Corn cannot be healthy on the food that you are giving him any more than you could be on chocolate alone. If Corn does not receive the proper nutrition at this vital stage in his/her life, it's growth could be stunted and it may die young. You need to go to the feed store and buy chick crumbs. When Corn gets to 6 or 8 weeks old get grower pellets and at about 20 weeks, get layers pellets.
Do you have any idea what Corn's sibling died of?
