Hello and welcome to BYC.

I feed mine sunflower seeds, peanuts(chopped finely), dried oats, watermelon, applesauce, lean meats without salt, bugs, weeds, vegetables(chopped finely) raw and cooked, homemade wheat bread, and sometimes cracked corn. I try to keep it very healthy. Too much salt can poison the chicks.

Since I got my Silkie-boy the end of Sept 2010 and snow was already on the ground, my friend suggested I grow wheat grass in little trays. Takes about 2-3 weeks but Silkie-boy loved it and so did his friend Bugsey bunny. I had purchased a bag of chicken scratch from our local feed store and the feed consisted of whole wheat kernals, oats, barley, corn and about 3 other grains, I would throw an handful into a tray and cover with an inch of soil and water well, keep moist but not wet. Worked great for the next 6 months until the following spring. You'll soon learn their likes and dislikes.
