What age for scratch?

[Porterfive]

Hi Everyone,
At what age can we start feeding scratch? We have chicks, now 10 days old and they are eating starter feed.
Just wondering what age they can start having scratch as a treat?
Thank you.

I think we started at about 5 weeks, maybe 6. They had just begun full day free ranging, I think, but we still put out grit for them after we began treats.

Gosh, I don't think I gave mine scratch at all till they were about 12 weeks old and only to teach them to come when called.
