Eating Pine Shavings

[TsBurks]

I switched to shavings today. They went ballistic kicking them up and eating lots of little pieces. After over an hour now they finally went and ate their chick feed and are napping. The woman I got my silkies from says it's normal from to eat some and it might take a couple of days for then to figure out it's not food.

In the meantime what can I do to make sure they don't get an impacted crop? I've read about other people losing chicks.

I added a little bit of apple cider vinegar to their water. Would some plain yogurt help?

Chick grit & put small bowl out for them.
