Time for hard boiled eggs?

[sadies chicks]

My chicks are about 10 weeks old now, I am wondering when I can start feeding them cottage cheese, hard boiled eggs, etc. I am assuming not until they are laying??

Thanks!

I gave my chickies hard boiled and scrambled eggs around 3 weeks

They love it!

Yep, even younger. My week olds gobbled up some eggwhites today. Just in moderation on the milk products.

At ten weeks then can have a variety of treats as long as they have grit.

Great, I have some left over easter eggs!

For some reason I thought they couldn't have that stuff until they started laying...too much calcium is what I heard, but I will take all of your expert advice!!

I look at their size before I start giving my chicks anything extra. Always give them grit if you are giving them something besides chick starter so they can chew it. Right now I have some small 8 week chicks that I have not started to give "treats". When I do give treats I start out small like perhaps once a week (really depends on the week as my children run wild with the giving them weeds during the summer since they don't have to ask me once I start giving them treats).

Will do! These kids are already outside and old pros at the treats

They will only get eggs, no diary
