HAHAHAHA!!! So it sounds like (correct me if I'm wrong) the danger of pine shavings is that they may eat them. They do not put off any type of fume or aroma that is dangerous. Just the eating. Is that correct? And does anyone use straw?

yes that they will eat it and because they havent had grit they wont be able to process it, i use hay when they get bigger because i have an overabundance of it

I started my baby on fermented crumbles on day 7. They seem to be growing like weeks...they are 4 weeks old now.

Thanks! Now I just need to find ACV with mother.... I'm thinking whole foods. Do you put the fermented feed in the same kinds of containers as the regular feed? I have a couple of metal feeders, I'm guessing I can't use those?

Thanks!!!!

I buy my AVC at my local grocery store...They sell the Braggs brand and store brands.
Right now my chicks are still little so I am using a little chick feeder (Plastic) I am not sure what I am going to switch to.

I'm afraid it didn't make it. I think it was just too weak, probably why it was late hatching.

@UKApril
 what happened to the egg you were incubating??

So, I have 3 kinds of feed going at any given time.  I have the powdery stuff for babies, crumbly stuff for the "teenagers" and pellets for the laying hens.  Do I ferment all 3?  Do the tiny day old babies get fermented feed as well?  

Everyone can have fermented feed. Walmart has the ACV with mother. Don't use metal containers.

Do you not have Southern States over there? Only time I've ever bought chicken or goat feed elsewhere is when S/S was out...twice, maybe, in 20+ years?

No, but I can get the feed at one place.

I said good night to Westley, and everyone keeps saying good night to me. You guys are weird.

You are correct. I used pine, now I'm using straw.
