digestions of the forage.
Chicks likes also chopped lettuce or cabbage.
Feed your chicks with yolk for about two weeks; after that feed the a mixture of yolk of a hard-boiled egg and
chicken feed or some soaked millet. Approximately one week later you can feed them with a specific chicken
feed, bird feed, wet cereals or boiled rice.
WARNING: in case your chicks cheep very hard they need assistance.
It might be that they are fallen into the water and have wet feathers, that they are cold, thirsty, hungry , lonely or
afraid.
The chicks will only be quiet if they are happy and satisfied.
