At what age can you feed your chicks mealworms.

 

[Celeste Cannon]

I fed my 3 day olds small mealworms and they were fine. I think any age is fine just be careful about how many you give. If you want to be safe you can get baby mealworms/ small sized mealworms and rip the heads off before you feed it to your chickens.

Think if Momma raised she feeds them many things.

I usually start around 2 weeks or so. I break them into small pieces to make them last a little longer, but the chicks can handle a whole one.

I give grit after a couple weeks, then a few mealworms.

As soon as the peeps leave the nest the mama hen begins feeding her chicks anything and everything that she has the power to scratch out of the ground or the ability to dismember.
