They won't eat just anything, which I don't like. They don't care for sweet potato scraps and they won't eat the sorghum or the sunflower from the extra cheap bird seed I bought. They don't even like potatoes that much. They also crave too much fat and protein. A lot of times if it ain't a bug they don't want to hear about it. They go crazy over scrap meat. I don't like that. How do I make them less picky. I can't remember the breeds. But I have one white/yellow and 2 black chicks. The black chicks are very slow to catch on to new food and they all follow the bigger white/yellow chick. I'm sure he is a rooster.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603192921512857639.post-32870948594136529542011-05-12T12:47:15.245-05:002011-05-12T12:47:15.245-05:00Just fascinating!

I don't understand why...What great information. I don't understand why you have to turn the eggs to maintain the air pocket, but I do understand it has to be done.<br /><br />I love your ideas for water and feed, too!<br /><br />Where did you get your mesh for the chicks? That seems like a great idea. :)<br /><br />Happy Thursday!LindaGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12203719919661519350noreply@blogger.com
