I was wanting to start giving my chick some treats. Is it too early to start? When should I introduce grit? Thanks!
You can give your 2 week old chick some plain yogurt or some finely chopped hard boiled egg. Keep the amount of treats small at this point. Chicks need the complete nutrition of their chick starter at this age, so you don't want them filling up on treats. Start offering grit when you are giving foods that need grinding up.
Dried mealworms are apparently the yummiest thing ever. Even my scarediest chicks come running for mealworms.
Just remember that these are babies and all babies would rather eat the candy[treats] than the good for you foods...
