If you're really worried about those little cuties not being able to eat the 'big' crumbles, you CAN just put some in a baggie and roll a .... rolling pin, yah, that's the ticket! - over it to break 'em up a bit more. Or put it through a food processor very briefly. Or a coffee grinder/mill. (Just make sure there's no coffee residue in it before grinding chick feed!)

Adorable chicks. Just adorable. But they can eat those crumbles.

That is exactly what I did for the first few days. The rolling pin worked great!

Great pictures - Now I want chicks again!

Thank you! that's what I did and they are eating more now

They are precious! The food is just the perfect size....don't worry! Looks like you've got a very nice setup for them. You may want to consider wood shavings because it helps with the poo smell........I usually put the wood shavings down, then a paper towel down and sprinkle some food on that, because they like to peck around so much. After a few days, I take the paper towel away.

You do want to make sure you use pine shavings and not cedar, and I've never had a chick eat pine shavings and die either.....I know some people worry about that. They seem to be aware of what's food and what's not.

Enjoy those chicks! Aren't they fun!!!??
