Cracked Corn

[Okie Girl]

At what age can we introduce cracked corn to our chicks? Four are 2 months old...The other 2 are 6 weeks old.

You can give some anytime. Since it only has 7-9% protein you will want to keep it as a tiny treat since they are still growing. You can throw out some handfuls of it and this will help tame them (I would stay under 10% of the total diet with treats). Say a little treat call when you do this, and then you will have a way to gather your chickens in the coop on demand! This is handy for rounding everyone up if needed.

They're old enough for a little now. Be sure they have access to some grit or are ranged where they can pick up sand or small pebbles to digest that corn.
