Oats are great to feed. You only need to provide grit if they are eating anything besides chick starter. Yes, it does need to be in a separate dish.

Here is a great link that Two Crows and I have written on taming little chicks.

Good luck!

Thanks for that link - very helpful! They ate egg yolk out of my hand this afternoon!! one nearly ate an oat from my hand but chickened out (lol).
