I'm a newbie with a question about watering.

Let's say I boil a pot of eggs. I have always used the leftover water to water plants as it has calcium and minerals from the egg shells. Would it be of any benefit to give this water to my chicks?

Excess calcium can be bad for babies. I'd stick to giving it to the adults.

So once they start laying you think it would be ok?

Most likely... I don't see the harm in it, but you could try giving them water, and the supplemented water in two containers and see which they prefer to test it out...
