Ha!! I've almost had my fill of peeping for a while. I've got a total of 13 chicks in my living room. They get LOUD!OK, I'm going to draw it out. "Just a moment please, enjoy the peeping while your call is transferred to our engineering department."
Hahaha, yes, I can hear them on your videos!
That's a good start. I'll work on it tomorrow. I like the idea of the cardboard coming up the sides.
Finally got his crop full again. I'm trying to think how I'm going to get chick grit into him when he's not great with chunks yet. Maybe I can shove a piece at a time in his mouth. 
I thought starter feed had some grit in it,...? You could grind up a few pieces and put them with his slurpee? Since he's so tiny, the ground up bits should suffice, or...?That's a good start. I'll work on it tomorrow. I like the idea of the cardboard coming up the sides.
My response was slow because Seal was taking his sweet time to eat. He wasn't happy with me.
That's what I was thinking, mixing it with his slurpee. Does starter feed have grit in it? I've always offered chick grit because "that's what everyone says you HAVE to do" to be a good chicken tender. The chicks love it and gobble it up, right from the beginning. It's amazing how instincts work.
Hmmmm, I've always thought that chicks do not need grit if they are eating starter feed, as it is formulated to be easily digestible. Considering Seal's extremely delicate constitution and just trying to get the best nutrition into him, grit is something that could wait... He's not eating anything that's not easily digestible, or is my thinking wrong? Could the grit get stuck in his crop or otherwise clog him up somewhere along the way?
Awwww, I'm so, so very sorry! Things appeared to be going so well. Big hugs to you and little Seal.
Thank you. I'm not sure what happened in the 12 hours over night. He won't open his eyes, either.Awwww, I'm so, so very sorry! Things appeared to be going so well. Big hugs to you and little Seal.
In one so tiny and challenged, you can only speculate. He was doing so supremely well. Did you add some honey to his slurpee, probably stating the obvious here...
