Spring is one of the best times to purchase a fluffy flock of baby chicks. If you’ve purchased a flock of Albino chicks or are thinking about it, talk with your vet to learn about basic care and feeding. Some Albino chick owners start their chicks on a starter feed, which is simply like a mash containing proteins and nutrients to help them grow. You will want to keep the chicks on this for the first few weeks of their life. It is not recommended to give baby chicks any kind of treats or regular grain as these do not contain the needed nutrients for growth. Along with food, it is very important to make sure your Albino chicks have access to fresh, clean water. If your baby chicks aren’t drinking, pick one up and dip his beak in the water. This may motivate him to drink. Call your veterinary clinic Mission, TX for additional tips or click here.
