I want to give my chicks a treat?

[86121]

There ages are 3 and a 1/2 weeks and 4 and a 1/2 weeks. Two Silkies

What can I give them at this age? And yes they have grit in with there food so they are good there.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Really at that age they can eat any treat the big ones have as long as it is in chick sized pieces.

meal worms are always a favorite.

You can get live worms at a local pet store or a bag of freeze dried worms.

Yeah, so long as the treats aren't so big they'll choke on them, they can have just about anything at that age.

Try some chopped hard boiled eggs. Always a favorite around here.

Alright, I can give that a try

And the Meal works all cut up if I get them some!

Thank you!

sounds like you could use the BYC treats chart:

I give mine most anything I eat -- except chocolate!

I agree with the mealworms.. I gave ours some and they all tore it up. It was the funniest thing...

I am a new chicken mama-my 2 and 3 week olds really love their daily treat of plain yogurt.

mealworms.... and slightly thawed frozen mixed veggies were favorites for my chicks (especially carrots, brocolli and cauliflower)!
