Phosphorus Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Assuming any of my hatch on Friday or over next weekend Do I need anything to feed them other than chick crumb (know about suggestions of chopped up egg or spring onion to encourage them to eat). Do I need chick flint - not sure at which point they will need to take grit? They will have access to a bit of grass in run when mum takes them out.

Griffin Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Mine get offered chick grit from the time they have growers pellets available. Up until that point I don't feed them anything at all other than chick crumb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Mine had a tiny bit of chick grit sprinkled onto their food from week two. I got it via Ebay and paid a couple of quid plus P&P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phosphorus Posted May 10, 2009 Author Share Posted May 10, 2009 Thanks for that. I had been watching the stuff on Ebay so will get some in a few weeks if any hatch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 I've put a little bit in with mine - they are outside on the grass and chomping clover and other assorted goodies that mum digs up for them. She makes them have a little and they do as they are told. Wish I was her! It is likely that they would pick up some grit from the soil anyway.
