The lighter one looks like she has the cream legbar coloring. Are the chicks fluffed up yet?

Their legs are seriously blue! My one Wheaten Americauna has blue legs but not THAT blue.

Did you know that some all flock feeds are not recommend for birds under 6 weeks of age?
Good because neither did I until I read it on a feed bag this morning.

Read your feed bags.

Please enlighten us as to why that bag said not to feed all flock to young ones. The only thing different on the MG bag is the little label that says what is supposedly in the bag. Curious about this now.

Hold. It was a specific brand name...not MG.
I need to find the bag and I will show you.
I don't remember it saying WHY not to feed it to younger...I believe it simply said "for 6 weeks and over"

Maybe they just want you to feed medicated starter to babies??? Does that same brand make a medicated feed?

It's not just one brand there are a lot of "all flock" types that say this.

I've learned a lot by reading.
Read your feed bags guys.
All feeds are different.
All brands are different.
