Have you Heard of Feeding chicks mashed Hard Boiled Eggs???

Someone told us they always did it back in the day. We did try it, and they couldn't get enough of it.

Have you ever heard of it??? Any thoughts??

Quote: Yup. A popular goodie for chicks. They don't need the white. just the yolk. Need to give them chick grit if you are feeding anything other than chick feed and water.

yeah, that sounds about right. But what if you do feed them the white as well, it is ok??

I'm at a loss when it comes to grit, we live in no man's land when it comes to pet supplies for chickens LOL, poultry raising is not very common in these parts. I would like some help in that department as well.

With the adults, I just hoped the free ranging would cover it, although I do limit treats. But with the chicks.....

The white is fine to give them as well.

How old are your chickens? Do they get to run around outside, in the dirt?

for grit, just give them some dirt and sand to peck around in
