Is Fruit cocktail ok for chicks?

[Juliechickens]

Hey All, I gave my 10 week old chicks, silkies, frizzles, cochin chicks some fruit cocktail and they just love it. They of course are still on their chick starter feed but I thought I'd give them a treat. They like the fruit and they also like to drink the juice. Is this okay??? It's canned fruit cocktail......let me know! Julie

Yes, it's ok. Just make sure you give them a little grit.

Thank you so much for replying

I kept checking to see if it was okay and no one would respond

Whew,,,I feel much better now. I will give them grit too

Thank you again! Julie

I would be carefull about goving them too much. There is so much sugar in it...and im sure not too good for them. But, definately add some grit to thier diet, when giving treets.
