Plain live culture yogurt is a great first treat as it is good for them; gives them some good gut flora. May need to mix it with a bit of feed or cooked egg or something. But you can give them most anything; just limit it to no more than about 10% of their diet.

Hi!
I tried to answer this question in another place too.....

Your young chicks need to eat a good quality chick starter.
You can feed grass clippings etc also but the must have main diet of chick feed.
Also hard cooked eggs are very good, after all egg was their first food ever!!!
Let me ask you something???? What ARE you feeding them now?
Your chicks look cute, cute, cute, so I guess they are eating good, are you just wanting to know what to give them for treats???
Grass is a good treat, or egg as I said.
