The first treat I gave my chicks was boiled egg yolk. I mashed it up to an almost powder and it looked just like their chick food. Every afternoon, when I got home from work, they would get a treat. They learned when I came up with the plate, to get excited. That's when I started putting different foods on the plate and now they pretty much devour anything I bring to them. They're 22 weeks old now and we're still just one treat a day and they LOVE to see me coming with the plates.
