Hey everyone! I'm entirely new at this - but I'm really enjoying it.
I've been raising three golden sex-link chicks for about a week, and one of them has this habit of going to the feeder and scratching the feed out onto the ground. I know that chicks like to scratch and forage for bugs and stuff, but does anyone else have a chick that kicks all the feed out of the feeder? By the end of the day, my feeder is empty and there's a big pile of feed around it - which none of the chicks eat!?
I just think this is funny and was wondering if anyone had the same experience. Its adorable to watch, but annoying to have to replace the feed twice a day and clean the bedding every few days.
