    feeding baby chickens

    Hi, good question! If you are letting, the chicks have grit of some kind. Then feeding small bits of scraps won't hurt them. Not to much ,but just a small treat. I feed mine like that. Of course others may say No. But yes I do. Chicks can eat bits, just not to much. Mine are 6 weeks old.

    The Science Of Feeding Grit To Poultry

    I've had chickens, for 55years. Never fed grit. Never had but one sour crop. Saved that one easy. Bagged grit is all money for the rock company. 1 cent of grit, sales for 5.99$ .All profit. Hand full of sand from outside any where. Turn um out in the run. They will kick up their own grit.
