The ones I just got won't eat egg yolks. So far they haven't touched their starter either. Any suggestions?

The egg yolk are only fed the first few day to get them started eating. Peachicks just dont eat as much as a chicken chicks.

You sure they are not eating ? or just not much.

After the first day if the feet, are still not normal used the shoe.

I did see them eating, just not alot. Geez I probably shouldn't expect that they would just start eating up a storm and being really calm. After all it was just their first day here. I have them inside so I can hold them alot and they'll used to us.

Thanks again for everyone's advice. Peachick looks to be doing great! It's toes uncurled and it is walking just fine. I did go get 2 day old chicks to be brooder buddies and that has help. The peachick is not chirping as much and sleeps with the chicks and eats with the chicks.

I am amazed at how this peachick is 2 days old and already has wing feathers! It's eyes are so cute! I wont be able to keep this beauty because I live in a neighborhood but I am going to really enjoy raising it for awhile.
