Treats for chicks

Very helpful article! I've always wondered if it was alright to feed chicks treats and was nervous about ever giving them any. The part about meanworms was very helpful. I've often been asked if mealworms are safe to feed to chicks and my answer was always "I don't know." Now I have an answer to that question!
Very well written

Good ideas but Imo its not complete. This refers to chicks in a brooder? I have the feeling this doesn’t apply to all situations.
My chicks are with a broody. From about a week old they try to find their own food in the run. If possible I like to let them sort of free range with their mama in the greens. Always supervised in a pop up run until they are about 10-12 weeks old.
They eat all the insects they can find, but also grasses and herbs. I provide dove grit to digest the grasses and herbs.
