poachedegg Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 (edited) Ours are now 5 weeks old and I think need something interesting to do, so wanted to know if/what you do with yours regarding treats/hemtertainment.

Egluntyne Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 They will need chick grit if you are giving them anything other than chick crumbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lesleysprite Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Hi! I give them logs and stuff to jump on and big piles of earth and stuff with lots of bugs in to rummage through. When mine were 9 weeks I took them with me when I cleaned out the greenhouse, they feasted on slugs and wood lice and appeared to have a brilliant time!

Redwing Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 I'm pretty cautious with mine now having lost a few to freak accidents Mine have no coops to sleep in till 12 weeks plus, some live in a stable with just bedding and a feeder and drinker and younger ones in brooders with the same plus a heat source I dont let them perch as perching when young dents their keel bone so I wont have perches/logs/platforms of any sort I've tried boxes/baskets etc for them to snuggle in but lost a few to them getting trapped down the back/sides or things tipping over on them I dont have anything hung on chains/string etc.. so they cant get caught Their needs when they are young are pretty simple, feed, water, light, air and adequate shelter/warmth To be honest they seem happy enough, as long as there is enough room for them to spread out I dont feel bad about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
