I would like to start offering them other foods. I gave them eggs last week but it resulted in some loose stool. So I was wondering when would be a better time to start trying to give them new things, and what things should I start with?
 
I don't offer any other foods until 4 weeks. And, I start with very finely cut fresh grasses with a shoe box of nice clean sand for them at the same time. After they start to eat this and their poop is ok I give them oatmeal and yogurt.
 
I don't feed them anything other than chick starter until they're at laying age. Then I switch to layer feed and at that point I start to give scratch, breads, a few table scraps, greens, etc. I've always been afraid to mess with their diets prior to laying age.
 
Plane chick starter is best for them.
