Add Food and Water
It’s been three full days since we brought home the chicks. I wasn’t sure at first if they would survive Young Master and Little Maiden. All they wanted to do was hold the chicks. They still ask now but the novelty has worn off a little.
I had to pick up a waterer and feeder today. The pie plate was becoming perilous as they would slip and slide in and out to eat their mash. I put shavings in their box yesterday since they’ve established eating the mash. I’ve read that chicks might start eating the shavings if they haven’t learned what they’re supposed to eat. Anyway, since I put shavings in the box, they’ve really enjoyed scratching and filled their water bowls several times with shavings. It took a little bit of time for the chicks to figure out where their food went but once one found it the others were eager to get their share.
