hello all! so it’s been almost a week i’ve had Nugget and i feel like it might have grown? lol i probably can’t tell from seeing it everyday. lol

i feed the little one the chicken feed the farm store gave me. what else can i feed the little one ? i gave it a little piece of banana two days ago but i am not sure what else i can give exactly.

Stick with your chick starter. If you really want to give it something as a treat, make sure you provide chick grit and then a little (tsp) canned salmon or mackerel with the juice/oil. You want to limit treats to no more than 10% of total diet.

Hello everyone !

update, i’ve got a party of two lol

so my husband found the second chick around the same street he found the first one. we think they might be related they look almost identical. we got the second one on thursday(12/17) so that’s when the pictures were taken. Nugget is on the left, Strip is on the right.
