Treats

[cyndischicks]

My baby chicks are just about 2 weeks old, I was wondering when they can have treats or other food besides the chick starter? Thanks for any advice!

I agree with Redsoxs. They can have some treats, just a little to start with. It's important that they get some grit when they eat anything other than chick food though, to help them digest it. If you cannot find grit size grit, sprinkle some coarse sand over their food. Here's some chick treat suggestions:

Thanks everyone! We are having so much fun watching the girls! I was hoping I could start giving them something else besides just their starter !
