I bought some new chicks the other day they are 2 weeks old and I was just wondering how long I should wait to start feeding them food scraps?

I waited until they were fully feathered but people have different opinions

I would say wait untell 4 weeks old. And make sure to give them chick grit.

No problem. And yes make sure you use chicken grit. Also once in a while you can cut up grapes really small and feed them. But only like once a week when they are a bit older

We started giving ours small scraps at about 5-6 weeks.

other treats should make up no more than 10% of their food. They should be getting most of their diet from nutritionally balanced chick fed. They are like kids, feed them alot of treats and they will turn up their nose, at the food they should be eating.
