What happens here

Fill the cleaned long metal feeder with chick starter feed using a scoop. The presenter uses a pink one-gallon scoop to transfer the feed efficiently into the narrow feeder openings. Once filled, carefully place the feeder back into the brooder. The chicks immediately flock to the replenished food, demonstrating their voracious appetite.

Goal: Refill the chick feeder with fresh chick starter and reposition it in the brooder, ensuring easy access for all birds.

now let's talk about feeding your birds when we first ordered our we ordered a 10-pound bag of organic chick starter now we basically just go to our local farm store and pick up some feed for our birds there are several schools of thought on how much protein to give these birds I'm just feeding the standard twenty percent protein and the birds are doing fine you can feed up to 24 percent but the more protein you feed them the faster they'll grow the more meat they'll produce but I guess I'm kind of old school and I just want to give the birds to 20 percent protein and basically we'll fill our feeder just like this we'll pour a little bit in we'll shake it back in there we'll pour a little more in shake it back in there a little more and this is a 1 gallon scoop right here and it fits perfectly into this little feeder now watch these little birds as I set this feed down in here they go nuts birdies birdies back there's another one there's another one
