Grit and scratch

[rosinsk1772]

Is there an age for a chick that is to early to give scratch or grit?

You should begin to offer grit when they begin to eat things other than their chick feed. I've always started offering grit at about three weeks and it did not hurt my chicks. But I have not started earlier than that. Maybe some people start earlier, I'm not sure but I've always started with "chick grit" the very small grit at about three weeks old.i don't offer scratch until they are older. But I offer things like meal worms when they are young. I hope this helps and best wishes.
