Run out of chick crumbs!!

[Mogz]

My chicks are 3 weeks old and i forgot to buy chick crumbs when out and they have non for the night! they have some left but it will be gone soon. They are kept inside and have plenty of water.

Will they be ok until them morning when i can go to the store? or is there something i can feed them at home?

If you have fresh grass clippings, they love those. They will also eat a scrambled or boiled egg or two. Do you have mealworms? They can eat a few of those as well. I'd get the crumbles tomorrow though.

Im picking up crumbs in the morning but I was worried about tonight! I will go get some grass now but I dont have mealworms.They havent had anything but crumbs, I dont think I could feed them mealworms lol.

Scrambled eggs for the win. Doesn't get any more "natural chick food" than that, LOL!

Mealworms are freeze dried, so not too gross. Mine absolutely love them! It's like "Chicken Crack". You can get your birds to do anything once they figure out what you've got in the bag!
