Herald1 Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 I’ve got 4 5wk old chicks still indoors in a large set up but think they are getting a little bored. Ones not got all it’s feathers yet so not ready to go outside yet. I’ve given them a dust bath, treat holders ( with chick feed in) and they get tea twice a week. Any ideas??

mullethunter Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 You put tea in your original post but I’m guessing from your reaction it was a typo 🤣 I have four 4 wk old chicks in a big box in my downstairs shower. They have a washing up bowl with sand and compost in, their Brinsea Ecoglow, and a London brick which they have some of their food on. I’ll be adding a perch this week. As we’re still mostly working from home though they’re spending afternoons in a little run in the garden as it’s warm - that seems to wear them out and keep them stimulated so they don’t seem so bored when they’re indoors. Also mine LOVE half a broccoli 🥦 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
