I would not use scratch but some mash for momma. The little ones cant ""chew it"" yet for want of a better expression. Their little gizzards are pretty small. Its totally OK for momma to eat chick food its just higher in protein and set up to be easily digested. I know some people who scramble up some egg (dry) without oil and serve it up for every one. Very good eats High in protein and good for momma too. Brooding chicks is hard work full of self sacrifice she would appreciate the extra protein for sure. She will probably bite off bits and give it to her little ones too.

I am waiting for my own little Keets to finish hatching at the breeder so I will be posting my own panic attack posts as soon as those Thirty little fuzzballs arrive.

This will be my very first shipment by mail and I am Sooo nervous about it.
