Hi,
I have managed to keep two of my little barnvelders alive til now and they are almost 5 weeks old. I am feeding them chick mash and water. Should I be giving them anything else? Do they need any supplements or worming?
The little coq has got very smelly, brown runny poos...any ideas?
Thanks and sorry for the dumb questions! |

| They are being fed correctly, don't get obsessed by their droppings. You don't say whether it's medicated crumbs, but if they seem fit and well, they probably are. When it's warm enough they'll enjoy some time outside scratching about, but wait until they are fully feathered as they chill easily. Once you give them anything but crumbs, see they have some grit available - pigeon grit is about the right size - as they need it to grind things up in their gizzards. Scissored grass is always popular. |
