   My hen just hatched three chicks, and more are on the way.
   I keep medicated chick starter out for them (the chicks) at all times, but their crops seem to be so full!
   Can they over eat? If so, how much should I put out a day for them?
   
   Thank you for you help

   Quote:I have had alot of chicks this spring and they do look like their crops are huge but I think it's because they are so small, I keep food out 24/7 for the first couple of weeks then I take it away at night, only because my LF make such a mess of it. I don't think you can over feed baby chicks.
