Chick starter
There is a box in our living room filled with little silver velociraptors! JK. We wish. We got some baby chicks to be our friends and eat cool bugs and scraps and turn it into golden compost and blue eggs.
Right now they mostly just chrip, chirp, chirp and poop in their water and sleep beak-down like real yogis. Margot thinks they are weird.
We mixed our own chick starter food for the babes because it will make for tastier eggs and healthier chickens. But mostly because it is a huge hassle to go get the food. No store in town sells any and the store bought stuff is sold in tiny bags (and is mostly soy and corn, etc.).
A quick search on good old google dot com and we were on our way to mixing up a nice batch of eats for those nerds.
Here’s the list/recipe:
2 x Corn
3-4 x Wheat
1 x Barley
1 x Oat groats
1 x Shelled sunflower seeds
1⁄2 x Lentils
1⁄2 x Split peas
1 x Millet
1⁄4 x Flax
1⁄2 x Seaweed
