New chicks

I find it interesting the response my chickens have to t he new chicks. Whenever i feed and water the chick they go to the end of the pen curious as to what is making all that noise.
They have bhai ecome incredibly jealous of the chicks also. They are used to having mu undivided attention.  They growl and make all kinds of noise to let me know they were here first.
I did notice that the food i was given for chicks was not actually chick food. It's important to know what to look for when getting food.  I know i ordered chock food but i wasn't used to the new bags and misread what i was getting. Unfortunately, i think i lost 6 chicks because i had the wrong food. 7 if you count the chick that i lost before the new chicks came to live with us.
By october, i should be able to start selling eggs. That will be nice.
