My chickie babies turned 5 weeks today.
I feed them a medicated chick starter grower but as a treat give them a handful of Nutrena Organic Starter Grower when I come into the room where the brooder is. I greet them with an upbeat, "Hi, Chickie Babies!", and reach into their enclosure with a handful of Nutrena. They all perk up and peep when I greet them and dash over for their snack but MAN, do they peck hard! They keep getting skin and I feel like my chickie babies are turning into teenage chickie brats. Does anyone else have chicks that do this? They ALWAYS have fresh food and water. I would like to think they are just happy to see me but I think I am kidding myself. Lol. Its the treats, isn't it? ...brats.
