feeding baby chicks

[N F C]

I'm another one that didn't give treats to my chicks until they were fully grown, and then gave them sparingly. The treat chart Yorkshire Coop gave you a link to is very helpful.

Thanks for joining us, glad you're having fun with your chickies!

I am teaching her to totally avoid smh as a new chick mom it has been a challenge to train the both dogs and I have one Americana with scissor beak smh. Her sister is much bigger like 3x bigger so trying to teach a bird to scoop it's difficult when all she want to do is peck like the others

Been hand feeding that bird smh
