Welp…it’s been a week

The baby chickens are coming along nicely…

We went thru a few pasty butts at the beginning of the weekend and have been weighing and wiping their (now clean) chicken butts with baby oil on a cotton ball.

No more pasty butt, nice clean bedding and a some help for the littlest ones. I started smashing a boiled egg on plates for them.

They’ve gained 91 grams collectively. The seven of them together are 539 grams as of yesterday.

They LOVE those eggs! I also tried some finely minced spinach and I’m trying to decide if I should continue that. But soon, I’ll have to give them two boiled eggs because it just disappears!

Hope you’re all having a good week and don’t slow down! They might be gaining on you.

Do you have Starter feed crumbles?? to feed them besides the eggs??
If you have,,,, GREAT
If not,,,,, can I suggest you get a small bag of Medicated Feed Crumbles. This gets them thru the coccidiosis Period Potential.
I understand you gave them some finely chopped Spinach. I personally would hold off on such,, until they are slightly bigger,, and can have Chick Grit. JMO.


WISHING YOU BEST,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and
