Hi, I'm new to this forum. I have 4 new chickens got them about 16 weeks ago.

I got the chicks from a breeder. I believe they are all hens which is what I want.
2 chicks are LaFleche
1 black is I think a Australorp
1 is mix of Ancona

I joined to learn more. I worry I'm not feeding them right.

I agree with the post about them digging holes, I have a mine field.

Hi, it's nice to have you here with us! What are you currently feeding your flock?

Hiya, and welcome to BYC!

Occassional treats like that cob of corn is fine, provided they are on either an all-flock or chick crumbles until they start laying eggs. Then they should be on an all-flock or layer feed, with a side dish of oyster shell.

Beautiful chickens!! We're glad you're here!

Howdy! Welcome to BYC! Your chickens are absolutely precious and such a beauty to look at! Why are you worried you're not feeding them correctly? What's in their diet?

Hello and welcome to BYC!

Oh you have a very cute flock! Thanks for sharing them! Chick starter until they are ready to lay. Keep the treats down to a dull roar, maybe once a day. Lots of greens like broccoli slaw, cabbage, carrots, chopped veggies. Greens help clean out the liver and help to prevent fatty liver. A big tray of greens once a day is good for them.

Make yourself at home here and welcome to our community!
