Young Chickens refuse to eat!

[GardenChickens]

Hopefully this counts as an emergency but our chickens are about 8 weeks old and just recently our food ran out so we have had to give them something in the meantime until the new food comes but now they won't eat anything! We have tried everything but they will not eat! We don't know what to do as it would be horrible to watch them starve. We have tried different grains, egg, raisins, sprouted seeds, oats but they barely look at it. What should we do and how can we get them to eat something.

Try giving them boiled "Minute " white rice. Let it cool before giving it to them to eat. Dont add salt, nor anything else to the rice.
