I should add that I give -small- amounts, like a tablespoon of yogurt between 6 chicks. It should never replace their starter food, their tummies are too small. It's like human babies, you want to make sure milk/formula is the main food source, not candy.
I don't think I said they had the same requirements. I was referring to the fact they (chicks and babies) have relatively small stomachs and need to utilize what little space they have by eating proper foods, not treats.
You mentioned you feed them buttermilk and yogurt in a previous post. Where certain amounts of those two products are beneficial for juveniles and adults, chicks and calcium do not mix. Do a bit of research on chicks and calcium and you'll see what I mean. Your comparisons of chicks to human babies could be misleading to someone on the forum who may be considering raising chicks for the first time. There's no need to be defensive. I'm just considering others.I don't think I said they had the same requirements.
