Table Scraps (new chicken Mama)

[Tipsy Hen]

Hello! I'm very new to raising chickens. I have 3 baby chicks, 5 days old and they are doing great! I would love to start giving them little bits of table scraps when I check on them but I can't seem to find a clear answer on how young I can do this? I do appreciate any feedback

I don't give chicks much in the way of treats/scraps before they are a couple weeks old just because I really want them eating mostly their chick starter. They grow so fast they really need that balanced nutrition. But I do offer some mashed hard boiled egg or scrambled egg occasionally, they also go crazy for peas. Just make sure you give them some chick size grit once you start feeding them anything besides their starter.
