[QUOTE="I luv herfrds, post: 512706, member: 5917"] Got my chicks coming in May. I like it then so the grass is green the kids cut the grass and feed it to the baby chicks who just go crazy for it. I got some cornish cross and california whites ordered. Love those whites. I get great big cream colored eggs from them. A very hardy bird. I also lose birds to the predators. I call the trapper on the big ones and trap the coons and skunks in my live trap. Put them out of my misery and haul them to the dump. Anybody else start their chicks this way? I just give my chicks warm water with a tablespoon of sugar for the first hour, then give them a mix of corn meal and finely chopped cooked eggs. A family friend told me to do that because the commercial feed causes them to get plugged. The corn meal will not cause them to get the sticky butt. Tried it last year and had no trouble with the sticky butt. [/QUOTE]
