Cabbage??

[Humhill]

I'm fixing cabbage tonight with dinner. Can my week-olds have the core to pick at??

ETA: They've had grit for a couple days now.

I don't feed my new chicks anything but medicated starter for several weeks and they don't need grit with it. That way I know that they're getting a nutritionally balanced diet to grow as they should for the first few weeks. Same thing as with my children; if I let them choose snack food over nutritious foods, they'd fill up on the junk and their growth would suffer.
That's just my preference.

I'd let them have it. Hang it a few inches off the floor of the brooder and let the fun begin--actually it will probably freak them out at first, but once they get over that I'll bet they really like it.

Cabbage is junk food???
