Now that my chicks have been outside all afternoon, my dad has told me to watch them because they will get diarrhea from eating the grass. It this true? I don't need any pasty butts!
Quote:They shouldn't, esp. if they have access to their normal food. I guess any change in diet can give a temporary digestive upset, but they should make the transition ok, as the bulk of what they eat will still be the starter ration. Give them grit.
Don't know yet about chickens, but I can tell you my guineas do get a little loose in their bottoms when they eat grass.
