I just fed my black rough neck a baby chicken for the first time, I got it from the tractor supply type store, it was small and he ate it like a boss. But how often can i feed him baby chickens? Once a week? Once a month? Or not at all? I live in Indiana and do not have access to fresh live seafood, shellfish, or even minnows most of the year.
I tried to feed him raw freshwater shrimp, the brown kind not the ones that turn orange when you cook em. He ate one and stopped because i think he thought it was a mouse. I tried fresh tuna and he didn't eat it, that was a $10 fillet that went to waste.
Next I am going to get frozen silversides from the pet store and try those periodically, as well as order me some live dubia roaches.
