Hello! I just adopted 5 chicks and one has pasty butt. Only the one has it so far and I've had the chicks about 5 hours. I read that they may need additional grit with there food to aid digestion. I did some research and repeatedly saw cornmeal being fed to chicks in place of store bought grit. Is this doable? I have cornmeal on hand and won't make it to the store tonight, should I give them cornmeal? Also should I give a probiotic to them? I've had chicks in the past and I know that once they start to get sick they go downhill fast and I want to prevent any sickness the best I can. Thank you!!
