Poops look normal, nothing like what I understand coccidiosis looks like if that's an idea. Mostly soft-firm poops. Am using medicated chick "Starter-Grower" 18% from Nutrena. Also still have the Sav-A-Chick electrolytes in the water, could that be overkill? The second chick is not near death yet, but definitely not acting right and the crop is different.
I don't know yet. For all I know, I could have @RebeccaBoyd's luck and all 5 are boys. Besides, Snowflake was my kitty when I was a kid.How about snowflakeit’s a pullet you know so that would be a cute name for her
It’s a pullet, trust me
There's a mix of big and small bits in there and a fair amount of dust but I wondered about that. I'll remove the feeder and quickly mash it tomorrow. Is it possible a bigger piece could stick somewhere along the way?
I'll remember this....It’s a pullet, trust me
If you can take a photo of the crumb size compared to your grups feed it will give us an idea on the crumb size. My starter fees has tiny crumbs.
Dunno. But if so grit is definitely needed
I wouldn’t say so. Try warm mash (porridge like) for them - bet they all enjoy that. Just a small amt at first a handful. Warm water to make it a porridge
Good idea! Grit, or gravel or dirt, I read somewhere that someone take a chunk of sod and puts it in with the chicks to peck at grass and dirt, gives their immune system a boost.
