Re: Feeding chicks?
I use chicks occasionally for my carpets just to vary their diet. In my experience and what I've been told by other keepers, is that the foul feces usually happens when you all of a sudden switch their diet to just chicks. But if you feed rats then give a chick once and go back to rats for a few feedings, its usually not an issue. I know once my girls get some more size to them I'll start throwing in adult quail to vary their diet. The adult birds have less fat than the baby's do. Its my understanding that if you want to feed foul for nutrition, its 10x better to use older birds than one-day old chicks.
