Cooked rice for baby chicks!

I can't imagine it having any massive nutritional value. Why not just stick to starter feed? It's nutritionally balanced. Any additional "treats" simply satiate the appetite and reduce the intake of starter feed (which is what they really need). If you insist on giving any additional food of any kind, it should not constitute more than 10% of total daily food intake.

ETA: grit is important if you are giving "treats" - https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/891051/the-science-of-feeding-grit-to-poultry
