I have had my 7 week old peachicks on medicated chick starter since the beginning and I also throw out some mealworms every day for them as a treat. They absolutely love the meal worms. However, I have read that too much protein may give them leg problems. How much is too much?
I was thinking about giving them some Audubon wild bird food nut and fruit blend. There are sunflower seeds in it, though, and I wonder if they can handle those at 7 weeks old. Any thoughts on this?
I may be trying to give them too much but I thought a varied diet would be more helpful than just the chick starter. Am I overthinking this? Thanks for any comments and advice.
