Feeding chicks

[Firsttimechickmom]

I have 5 week old chicks that are on crumble & occasional mealworms for treats. I would like to give the 2 older hens scratch & make a flock block. Can the babies have this also?

As long as the chicks have access to grit they should be fine with picking at treats. I would just make sure that neither chicks nor adults gorge on the treats in lieu of their proper feed.
