This is what we, here at BYC, call Chicken Math. "I meant to have 2 and now I have 12!!!"

im off to the state fair

Just curious if someone knows if the chickens stay at the state fair for the fairs entire run. Somewhere I got the impression that the birds might go home before the fair was over. If they do go home early, does anyone know when? I want to go and see chickens, but if they arent going to be there on Friday, lol, why go?

I do not start feeding treats until they are much older than that. I think too many different things too young can throw off their digestive system too much. Just like human babies. I don't usually start any treats until 4 months or over.

Pretty much anything green, clover, kale, etc. These need to be in small pieces for them. also scrambled eggs in moderation.

Oatmeal, maltomeal, gerber rice cereal, etc. are all good when they are cooked and served warm, like human baby warm.

In a natural setting, like when raised by a broody that is running round outside, chicks pick up and eat lots of things and don't get sick. Same is true in the brooder. Just feed them mild things and they will be fine.
