Treats for 6 Week Old Chicks?

[chickens really]

Just a Tip......By all means do as you please....

Chickens do better if only fed age appropriate feed....Treats at 5%....That is a Tablespoon per Bird......Lots of the common illnesses can be prevented with proper nutrition......I only give treats once or twice a week.....

I was taught to feed Birds this way and have never encountered one of the common illnesses posted so often on BYC.....
Example...Sour Crop, Impacted Crop, Egg bound etc.........Yogurt is not for Chickens.....They can not process Dairy.....Bread is also bad...Can cause Crop issues.....


Anyways......


Cheers!

I stared treats with crushed up boiled eggs ...

Chicks/Chickens love eggs

I have some 5. Week old chicks and they will be 6 weeks old tomorrow!

What are some treats that would be safe for them? I've tried giving them bananas and peas but they just run to one side of the pen away from them

Any suggestion?

I am going to try freezing corn in water in a silicone donut pan. It looks like fun. My chicks are the same age but mine are very picky. They love love kale, grasshoppers, water melon and salad (I mix plain yogurt in the salad) they seem to love but they aren't impressed with anything else. Hopefully their taste buds will mature with age lol.

Really ??? They love them, I got the idea from others on this site ... Sorry

Mine love them as well. Not sure what is cruel about it. They are full of protein that they need.
