HI!

My three chicks are five weeks old and have not eaten any fresh food. I went to a feed store when they were about three weeks old looking for chick grit and they only had adult grit.

I know you only feed chick grit
until like 8 weeks old. Do you think Ishould go to a different feed store so they can get some fruit now or wait
three weeks to get the adult one? Can they still eat chick grit if they are older then 8 weeks if I get it now? They
have gone outside and eaten some stuff out there. Thanks so much!

If you can't get chick grit give them some sand. My brooder has sand in the bottom instead of wood chips and my chicks prefer it to the grit. When I raised chicks on pine shavings I did give them chick grit but I still have two and half pounds of a three pound bag. Now they free range for grit. But if yours won't be free ranging they will continue using the chick grit till it is all gone.
