What kind treats for chicks

[airmom1c05]

Go to INDEX on the forum. The first topic is "Frequently Asked Questions". Click on that and scroll down to "What is Grit and When do I Give it to my Chicks?" There are several threads explaining it much better than I can!

That whole section of Frequently Asked Questions is full of useful information. ENJOY!

Thanks for the link. I think I am going to get some at tractor supplies and get some grit and make sure they don't eat to much.

Can they eat to much warm mash?

Our chicks really like flour tortillas. The ingredients consist of flour, water, shortening, sugar and salt. The little guys go after them like pirranhas with beaks. The're soft ehough for you to hang on to while they tear them to pieces. So far, no ill effects, but them seem to have developed a Spanish accent to their peeps.

Do you give your grit for that, we won't be able to get none till later this week.

The little guys have had access to grit, but as easily as flour tortillas dissolve, I doubt they would need it to digest them. Maybe sombody else on here has an answer?
