So I know we have Chicken Addicts Anonymous... But do we have a "Chick Overeaters Anonymous"?? I have 2 chicks in desperate need of membership:

They almost always look like that though except first thing in the morning! I don't understand it. I throw some BOSS to the big girls, these two babies go crazy for it. I put down regular chick food for them, they devour it. They eat shavings. They eat adult pellets.

There's another chick in the bunch, a non-NN, and while her crop is large, it is not gigantic like these two. I wonder if it just looks worse on these chicks because they're NN?

I hope you weren't iannoyed when I said your chicks looked freaky. I was genuinely just meaning because of their scarily prominent crops. Honest!

Just stupid newbie question here.

What would happen if you leave the lights on in your chicken coop for the whole night. Would the chickens keep on eating and eating? I'm still confuse on this weird chicken behavior of eating whenever there is some light shining????
