My week old chicks are already scratching and foraging so much w/ Mama that they're ignoring their crumbles after a few minutes each day. I was just wondering, since they're already eating grass/bugs, it's okay for me to go ahead and give veggie and fruit scraps, right? Now that we've got them contained to a larger area separate from the flock, it's been amazing to watch Mama hen and the babies do their thing.
she'll teach them what's ok and not ok to eat, and the more food options, the better. Chickens....better than tv.
