My diet is 90% potato chips and sniker bars lolWelcome to BYC! Glad you decided to join our flock. I usually wait until my chicks are five to six weeks old before feeding them scraps. You need to be careful about the kind and amount of scrapes you give them. Starchy treats should be less than 10% of their diet as they will get fat and unhealthy otherwise. It's the equivalent of us eating potato chips and candy. Please feel free to ask if you have any more questions. We are here to help in any way we can. Good luck with your flock.
