Hello,
So I have one week old salmon faverolles chicks that I got from Cackle. Most of them are thriving and very busy. Two of them are insisting that I feed them watered down feed, because they won't eat the dry starter like the other chicks. This has been happening since day 1. They were all happy when I got them from the post office and showed them around their new digs, but a few hours later, I noticed one just laying on the ground getting trampled by the others. I started by giving him sugar water to wake him up and have been feeding him and another chick wet feed from then on.
My question is: How do I get them to eat regular food!!! I'm getting tired of coming home from work to feed them! But on the other hand, I can't bear to let them die off. Of course one of these chicks is the only one out of 16 with the correct foot coloring...
Thanks in advance!
