It really cold in NY 25 degrees and I want to know can I give them crack corn with there starter feed. Also, can I give them oats as well?

I'm giving mine cracked corn. Just make sure they get grit to break it down easier?

The Crack corn is straight up carbs and no nutrition , carbs do help a wee bit in the cold, a better option would be wild bird seed.
Do they have a heat bulb or something? 1m

In my experience, I would say yes. I started giving my chickens worms very early on ( 2 to 3 months) and I started giving them grains and rice early too.

Oats are a favorite of my flock. Just make sure with any treats they have grit to help digest.
