Why didn't our chicks know how to eat for a while? That was sad...
Probably because you didn't teach them. If they were not hatched with a broody mum, then you have to usually have to show them to eat and drink by pinching the feed and water with your fingers.
Your chicks don't have to and usually wont for up to 2 days after they hatch as they still have enough nutrients from the egg to live.
