I wouldnt. Flies are the host for tapeworm eggs. Continue with chick starter feed. Welcome to BYC.

My 6week old chicks love these cicadas that are everywhere. I hope they are safe to eat because they are gobbling them up.

I stomped on a mouse today and threw it to the 5 week old flock, they ran to it then screemed and ran the other way
