Only mealworms for a week. HELP!

[Glitterchicks]

I'm panicking...
We went on vacation for 8 days and had somebody taking care of our dogs cats and chickens. The chickens are about 9 weeks old. I came back and noticed that their feed bag was totally full and the mealworm bag was empty. THEY WERE GIVEN ONLY MEALWORMS FOR 8 DAYS.
They seem ok other than needing to be coaxed out of the coop this morning, which is unusual.
Should I be worried??

Not much you can do at this point. Wait and watch them.

Did they lose weight? If not, I bet they will be fine.

Can you ask the person who fed them if they gave them ANY food?

Yes, I asked them and they did not give them any other chick feed except for the meal worms. I can't really tell if they lost weight or not. They don't seem to have grown too much over the last week but I'm so new to this that I don't know what is really normal for growth at this point.

They're still alive, right? Still walking, eating and drinking? They'll be fine.

I’m sure they’ll be fine. Just get them back on track.

This is why I have 2 five gallon waterers with horizontal nipples and 2 no waste feeders.(about 40 lbs of feed) My chickens don't need anyone looking after them, when I go away for a week. The coop and run are open 24/7.
