I'm not the most experienced one here, but I do believe a good quality chick starter should be enough. There are electrolytes and vitamin supplements you can add to the water for them but anything else should be considered a snack or treat. pop.gif   And be sure if you do add other foods like meal worms for example, that you give them chick grit to help them digest them. They don't need it for the chick starter.

Things like fruits and veggies will be good for them. Chicks like treats. pop.gif  But not too many! They also need some grit with that.
