I sprinkle oyster shell on the food for grit at every feeding. They act perfectly healthy otherwise and continue to eat and drink normally. Could someone please tell me what it may be and how to cure it. The crop stores the food that they eat, and it slowly moves down into the gizzard and on into the intestines. It will be empty in the morning before they eat.
Some piggies eat until the crop is tight-full.
They do not need oyster shell or grit until they are another month or 2 older and you give them some grain or scratch feed. The chick starter has fine grit in it. This morning all the lumps were gone. Thanks for the reply. Thinking back, I usually don't 'hang out' with them after I feed them, so I dont get the opportunity to see them so 'full'.
