Is This A Good Brooder For 5 White Bantam Silkie Chicks?

no tractor supply? Family farm and home? Some Wal-Mart's do have stuff.

No There's None Of that Well There Is Wal-Marts Though. there Usto Be A Breeder 10 Minutes Away But He Stopped Selling Chickens And Chicken Food, I Give My Hens And Her Baby Chicks Broken Corn And Bird Food And They Seem Perfectly Fine. And There Is A Feed Store But It's 2 Hours Away.

Yep need to get chick starter. They really cant digest the hard seeds or large kernels of cracked corn. And corn to chickens is like a lollipop to kids, pure sugar. Not what they need to grow. If nothing else a local pet store should have some thing to give baby birds. Please dont take this the wrong way.... but if you cant get chicken feed why did you get chickens????

Ordering it may be the only answer unless your willing to make the drive. Maybe you can find someone near to you that knows where you can get some nearby or willing to pickup some for you.

We ended up buying the big cardboard brooder box from TSC once they got a little bigger.
