I have some friends that will be getting chicks soon, and I want to give good advice.
I didn't feed my chicks grit. They ate medicated chick feed, veggie scraps, and the occasional worms (dirt included) that I caught for them outside. (Now they spend their days out in the barnyard, so I know they're getting enough rough stuff.)
Some websites say to give chicks grit, but my Storey's Guide doesn't mention it. What do you think?
