Chick Treats Question: When and What?

[cmom]

Whenever I give my chicks anything other than their starter crumbles I give them a dish of free choice chick grit. Also I agrre with another post and have used the BCY treat chart

I give mine almost everything in addition to the dish of free choice chick grit.

Here is the link to BYC Chicken Treat Chart.

Don't feed them earthworms. Those nasty things can lead to cocci and other parasites.

I tried plain yogurt all they did was put their little feets in it and make a mess of it.

I then tried raw oatmeal and they loved it!!

My chicks love oatmeal too. You have some on here saying don't feed dry oatmeal but I always have with no problems. You could try mixing the dry oatmeal with the yogurt.
