Slow growth

[Cholesterol man]

I have 3 chicks and they are 7 weeks old. They have very slow growth and feathering. I live in india so there is no chick starter or grower feed. I give them seeds, sour milk, grass and many other with grit. And I am still too far away from vet. Any natural remedies?

as mostly feathered, I will put the heat lamp in night and take in day. also in here, temperature will rarely drop to 20 degree Celsius even in winter. There breed is leghorn. Thanks

Hello! I’m no expert, but maybe feed them some scrambled or hard boiled eggs on occasion to give them a little protein boost? Hopefully someone else has a better remedy for you! Good luck .

Chicks need high protein, not only for body mass, but for feather growth as well. I would supplement any good, healthy protein that you can. Eggs, fish, sunflower seeds, garden peas, & cat food can all be used for a protein boost. There are plenty of other foods. Try searching here for high protein treats. We use them for molting chickens that need help growing their feathers in quickly. Mine love canned tuna fish. None of them should be a sole food source, but since you can't get chick/chicken food, you'll have to make do.
