Healthy add in for baby chicks

[DolceVita]

I looking to add something to my baby chicks food... honey, poultry cell, peanut butter. I don’t know anything to give them an added treat but at the same time give them vitamins and something healthy. Any thoughts? They are 4 weeks

The best thing to do is to not add anything. If they are eating a good quality starter they don't need anything else. Adding extras can cause problems by throwing off what's in the ration. The only treat I recommend to give young poultry is a bit of scrambled eggs as they do contain everything a young bird needs.

You really can't improve on a good chick or all flock diet! Anything extra should be as a treat, and then grit needs to be available too.
