Treat list... anyone?

[BantamBabesFarm]

Is there a list of acceptable treats you can give chicks? I've seen some information here and there but im curious what people do here...

So far Ive gathered from searching, Strawberries, Cherrios... What else? Specificly. What about salteen crackers? Will the little salt on them hurt the chicks?

i never thought about giving them cheerios.
My kids have accidentaly dropped pop tarts in the cage and they went nuts for it. lol.

Mine loved chopped up hard boiled eggs but i had to mix some sand into it as well.
They also love worms from the garden, and dandelions.

Crackers should be okay, just keep it to an occasional treat if they're very salty. I give my chickens things like cooked chicken and egg (very popular one), fruit such as grapes, yoghurt's another good one, and biscuits.

I found this a while back and thought it was helpful.

When my chicks were in the brooder I gave then fresh green grass dried meal worms very small pancake pieces(they loved that) crushed cheerios all kinds of berries and fruit, corn.

Meat and fat, cooked are a favorite with my girls.

I find this too. We often give them fatty scraps that nobody wants.
