IS STARTER FEED NECESSARY FOR CHICKS - CAN THEY BE RAISED ONLY ON TREATS

This is not good advice; chicks need starter food.
The article supplies no actual evidence that it works, and there are numerous spelling mistakes.

Please use starter for baby chicks!

As article writing goes, correct the spelling errors and cite vetted references rather than anecdotal observations. You can improve your personal experience by contrasting with a group of chicks raised on free choice starter feed plus free range with their mother and document weekly results (weight, feather growth (control for breed here) health problems. etc
As a recommendation for feeding new chicks or adults, the advice is poor and not recommended as it will lead to unhealthy birds with numerous (hidden until its too late) health problems, malnutrition, poor eggs and reproductive disasters. BE WARNED

Please don't follow this advice. To many treats can hurt your bird.

Horrible advice.
To all new flock owners, please do not do this unless you want stunted and malnourished birds.

Wow....this guy
