We have some week old Silkies that I have not yet started on grit. We just got 5 more new silkie chicks today. They're on "complete" chick crumbles. I have heard several different opinions on when to start grit, but I am trying to find out what the general consensus or most widely accepted time-frame would be. Someone said start them from the beginning, someone else said they started theirs at 1 week, and today, the breeder of the new silkies we just got said if they are on complete chick feed, they don't ever need grit. So......should I just start them now to be on the safe side, or is this thought by most to be unnecessary? Thanks in advance for any advice!
