Every day my 20 + chicks get either scrambled eggs or hard boiled eggs. Along with their chick starter. Today I fed them: Scrambled Eggs, Hard Boiled Eggs, Mash, and Oatmeal. They LOVED the oatmeal. But don't worry they aren't just eating treats they eat their chick starter, too. What do you feed your chicks?
 
If it's just chickens then I use Purina Start & Grow. If it's poults then I use FRM Gamebird Starter. Every other day I sprinkle rolled oats over their bedding to encourage them to keep the shavings scratched up and fluffy. Starting at one week I begin feeding finely chopped green feed (usually cabbage). At two weeks I chop it more coarsely and coarser still at three weeks. At one month I put it in whole and they tear it up themselves which burns up energy and keeps them out of mischief. I don't feed anything else usually.
