my 7 weeks old chickens lost appetite

[lian]

help ( i hope this is right section).. my 7 weeks old chicken lost appetite after i gave them bsf maggot as treat. they don't eat chicken feed i bought as much as before.. and only excited when i give them bsf maggot.. i don't get it..
idk if they are sick or what, only one or two are kinda not active, but they still also have high appetite for maggot. they had eat same feed for one week before and it was fine.. oh, and i already gave them coccidiosis medicine in their drink water.

ps. right now it is rainy season in my country. and recently we have high rainfall here. do you think that also the cause for their low appetite?

They're spoiled now, just leave the feed there and they'll eat. They're just being difficult .

What is their normal chicken feed?

I'd like to live on chocolate cake too, and I know better. Your chicks need to eat their fresh chick or all flock feed, and not get any more treats, at least for a while. Then, maybe a TINY bit of goodies, not enough to spoil their appetites for real food.

Chickens will absolutely try to manipulate you for goodies!

However, it’s important to look at your daily chicken feed.

Please post what your regular feed is (with a link to it, if possible.) it might be that it’s a bit low in some areas, and the chickens are begging for treats to make up the gap.

yeah. they are smart. i remember one of their mother being broody once, when i was near her, she would pretend pecking ground looking for food, but once i was away, she would go back to her nest..

the chickens are getting better now.. the ones that look sick also more energetic today..
