You are welcome.
I feed my peachicks chick starter medicated with Amprolium
to prevent coccidiosis. If the peachicks are separated from
their mother for even a few days whe will forget them and
might kill them if they are brought back.
When chicks of any species hatch it is vital for them to
bond with their mother as soon as they are able to come out
from under her (about a day old)
When hand raising peachicks I have had some of them that
bonded with me
