We just got 15 Reds and Red/Buff mix that are approximately 6 weeks old. At what age do you introduce Scratch to the chicks feed and how much? Also when can we start giving fruit and vegetable peelings, etc.?
 
Scratch should only be used as a treat. I tend to use scratch more in the winter months.
So scratch is ok to give as a treat at 6 weeks old? They (15 females) are in an outside area that is 30x30 with lots of grass and dirt.

I don't give Scratch Grains till 10 weeks old.
1 Tbsp each pullet daily.

I also wait till 10 weeks old before giving any fruit, fruit peelings or veggie scraps.

They'll need Grit to digest peelings, fruit, veggies or Scratch.
