One Week Chicken Treats

Im trying to come up with chick treats, and they tried egg but they just ate and not like they were having a "treat" any ideas?

Takes 3 days for scrambled eggs to become a wonderful treat to them. Everything else should wait until after 8 weeks to avoid deficiencies. You can also give the clean clumps of sod to mess around with, and to start getting used to what's in your soil.

3 days? In a row? It seems to be the magic number.

Mine love cut up apples, lettuce, hard boiled egg and oats in a little treat plate. They gobble it down in less than 5 minutes! Just make sure to provide grit for them!

I give mine meal worms. They are 3 weeks old and they come running when they see me.

I just got some 3 week old chicks.ive been giving them grit for a couple days, so tomorrow I am going to cut up some pasta and give it as a treat. The older chicks and ducks love pasta. Watermelon and strawberries ard next. I just want to make sure they are eating the grit before the treats are given.

My six week old chicks just got plain spaghetti noodles for the first time. They went nuts! It was a solid hour of entertainment watching the frenzy!!

One week old chickies don't need special treats. Too many treats and like kids, they will refuse to eat their nutritionally balanced chick feed.
