After an impulse buy at the auction I came home with a broody hen and 10 biddies. They look to be about a week old, but for 12$ I couldnt pass it. Anyways Im still building a coop and have them inside in a large plastic dog crate. Every one looks like there doing fine. Im using the long chick feeder the one with the holes on top. and a chick waterer. Now the question is how do I feed them all? I have chick starter in the chick feeder and I put laying crumbles in a crock attached to the front of the crate for momma. BUT she nocks out the feed all on the floor and then eats it and the babies too. and they jump up and eat out of her crock. should I just keep feeding only chick starter for momma until there older? or will the layer feed hurt the biddies? another thing I have 4 rir chicks I hatched (from my homade bator woo hoo) they are about 2 weeks old. can I put them all together? Im going to finish my coop this week hopefully.
