why just tap it with my finger, shouldnt I just throw it on the ground and peck it with my mouth?

I read of a lot of people who feed their chickens all kinds of things. Well, I go out and tried to feed mine things like strawberries, apples to no avail. The chickies just look at me like I am crazy. Are they just too young to start eating other things? they are about 7 wks. thanks for any...

So, I have my new chicks out in the run. They are about 4-5 wks old. When they are in the run, they are eating grass and whatever they can find. I am worried about them not getting enough grit, so do I need to supply some to them?? Thanks for your help!

I am new to chickens, in Cedarville. Just got 15 pullets. 9 golden comets, 3 black sex links and 3 partridge rocks. Just finished the coop, but I still need to put a top on the run. This web site has given me a ton of ideas. Thanks!
