What next?

Hello first time chick owner, they are 4 weeks old now and I keep reading messages about vacinating and certain food, vinegar water and such, I give them filtered water and feed them starter feed, I built them this pen and they still have a heat lamp, building a coop next and when shall I move them outside? so what's next?

All that vaccination stiff is optional, and if you use partly medicated feed they get the medication from that. If you decide to give them the vinegar, make sure that it is Apple cider vinegar with the Mother. The ones that say "with the mother" on it is safe for chickens. The vinegar boosts their immune system. I use it once in a while.

Yogurt is also a healthy thing for them to eat, and my 4 week old ones love it. Scratch is also good because of the grains in it. The scratch they eat is only supposed to be 10% of their food.

Is that plain yogurt?

Yes
