@rjohns39 woops sorry I might've missed that part! they didn't have grit. But I went and got some today, so they do now, as of 3 hrs ago. But I offered them mealworms, plain organic applesauce, and a tiny bit of plain yogurt. I didnt want them upsetting their stomachs so I give them a tiny bit of each, wait till it disappears and refill. Guppy is so small he doesn't even seem to want to eat the chick grit dry(ive had to mix in water to get him really eating) so im sure the extra moisture is also going towards his poop butt -_- I also just mashed up some scrambled egg that will hopefully help.

@rjohns39 i've also been giving them vitamin and electrolytes in their water, fresh twice a day or whenever they run low

Awww your a good mumma!
When my partner and I moved we had about 30 people helping it was so amazing. To me moving is so easy because I didn't have to do much at all.
When you start your coop honey you should create an article on it.

Hmmmm.... The MOTH has stuck his beak in so I'm not even sure what we're doing any more. Tradie. Has his own ideas. So long as I remind him about ventilation, roosts & nesting boxes that's probably it from me. He'll do a bang up job, just probably not exactly what I want.

Ok, give them just the yolks of hard boiled eggs. I would also add a bit of oily fish such as salmon and mackerel. Raw beef liver is good too. You want them to absorb the nutrients in their systems.

ETA: the yolks have the perfect balance of amino acids for chicks.

@rjohns39 I have salmon! And hard boiled eggs!
