feeding mum
« on: July 02, 2009, 10:54 »
Hi my chicks hatched on tuesday and I have put a dish of chick crumb and a dish of water with pebbles in it but what do I give their mum? I have given her corn but the chicks were eating it too, will it harm them?
Ijust dont want to do the wrong thing

fed her chick crumbs as well, she will be fine with that. Didn't feed my chicks mixed corn until they were a few weeks old, but thats just me others may do it earlier  :D
Staffies are softer than you think.

Hi AG, I just feed mine chick crumb, helps to build them up a bit too after brooding,. I dont feed my chicks mixed corn though.
