They can eat most table scraps in moderation. There is a list of "do not feed" in the learning center. Make sure they have access to grit either from the bare ground or purchased when eating treats. They really should be on a chick starter feed, not sure if that is what you are calling mash.

My birds LOVE sphagetti noodles they seem to think of them as long worms.... we also do blackberries (we have alot ripe right now )-- leftovers from dinner like rice, gravy meat scraps, breads, potatoes, cooked mixed veggies, my daughters leftover AM cereal, old stuff out of the fridge (wilted lettuce, stale bread or cookies), leftover dog food they eat it right out of the bowls- you name it, I just chop it up alittle and moisten it with water and add it to their crumbles and make a mash -- THey love it! If you grow corn they also enjoy fresh corn on the cob too....

At 2 weeks old the only treat I gave my chicks were scrambled eggs and cheese. I didn't start offering kitchen extras until 11-12 weeks but that was just my personal choice. They need their chick starter and we have to be careful to not over do the "treats"

My baby chicks love yogurt. It's gentle on their systems and easy for them to eat up.

Oats always get my chicks and hens stirring.

My chicks won't even eat yogurt. I have dripped their beaks in it before and they drag their beak on the ground to try and get it off lol But yes the few times I have tried they made a very nasty mess of it.
