Baby Chicks

Are no longer the size of a quarter at all. They are gangly teenagers. And not the brightest porchlights on the block. However, they are on the porch under a light. They like to take the food and kick it out of the bowl, jump in the water bowl, and do other unspeakables in said bowls. If they starve because of their habbit of jumping in the food bowl and 'scratching' it all out below the mesh of their cage, is it really my fault???
