No Feed For My CHICKS!! HELP PLEASE!!!

[the simple life]

Thank you to everyone, I gave them the boiled minced/mashed egg.
They were definitely hungry and they ate very well so I feel alot better.
I can't imagine them having to go all night without eating.
I really appreciate all the support and getting back to me so quickly.

Yep... oatmeal ground up in the processor, and I've been told that mixing that with a little plain natural yogurt is good for them. But the boiled egg yolk, or scrambled eggs in small amounts, cornmeal (also in small amounts) should keep them happy until you can get chick starter.

Good luck!

Sugar water is not an all purpose answer. Sugar water is a laxative. That will cause her chicks to get pasty butt.

Sugar water should only be used for 1 day with shipped or very stressed chicks. it is often used a quick pick me up for ill, sick, injured chicks.

Chopped boiled egg or scrambled egg will be just fine and lots of clean water until you can get the proper feed.

You can also cook white rice or oatmeal with a little yogurt. The yogurt is really good probiotics.
