And here's the coop they were in
Idk how old they are but here's a pic
Our baby chicks (raised with mommas) start eating bugs and worms in a few days after birth. Insects are not treats, they are normal chicken food. Because meal worms might be pricey we might think of them as treats but they are high quality food. We cook up some eggs for our chicks. They seem like treats the way they eat them, but in fact egg is what chicks are made of and the yolk is absorbed just before birth into their belly and feeds them for the first few days of life. So feeding them egg is just continuing that excellent nutrition. The only danger is that they could get so acclimated to those food that they wouldn't want to eat the less nutritious but less expensive food we would prefer to feed them.Thank you so much for all of your advice. I know they're at least 2 or 3 weeks old cause that's how long ago the store I bought them from got them. By the way how old do they have to be to be able to start giving them little treats like yellow meal worms
