Don’t feed them a lot but the most common treat (and most loved) is mealworms. But don’t make these their only type of food, they need the protein from chicken feed, and once they are older they will need oyster shells, but don’t worry about that yet. So as long as they don’t seem sick, you shouldn’t be needing to give them anything extra, health/medicine wise. AND REMEMBER NOT TO OVER DUE THE TREATS if you choose to use them.

Welcome to BYC. A balanced state of life diet is really all that they need. Try to limit 'treats' to 10 % or less of their diet. Good luck with them.

Welcome! Good food, free choice, and fresh water, are all they need. Limited treats, and free range if possible, are good. Mary

If your providing balanced nutrition in the form of Chicken feed that is age appropriate ?....Zero need for supplements ..I give my Birds a treat once a week and free range an hour or two a day...
