first treats

I haven't given mine worms yet. They think grass is the greatest thing they've ever had.

 

Mine LOVE their mealworms. In fact, they follow me everywhere now and even snap at my fingers thinking their worms.
They also love yogurt. It's really cute. I hold down a spoon and they just attack it. A couple can't quite figure it out. They just mash their faces into it.
Also grapes, flat leaf parseley, flax seeds, cherry tomatoes and any seafood they can get their beaks on.

 

I can't recall... Do chickens have taste buds? I thought I read that they did. I know it is rare in birds to have a sense of taste, but I thought chickens did. I know hookbills (parrots) do...

They do seem to have definite preferences in food though. I wonder if it's the actual taste or if the texture and color are what get them excited.

Mine loved tables scraps of all sorts. Including fried chicken! lol

 

how old are your chicks when you first feed them treats? mine are just eating chick starter and plain water.

 

I think they do. I gave them celery leaves. They immediately attacked them, then just as fast dropped them.

 

Mine are just about 4 weeks old. I started feeding them snacks about a week ago.
They definitely seem to like certain things better than others.
