What to feed?

[llombardo]

Mine are roughly 1.5 weeks old and one is only a few days old.

I got dried meal worms for the birds. Can they have those now? I also have rabbits, so I presently have dill and cilantro, can I give them that? How about cooked or uncooked oatmeal?

Some say just keep them on the feed for now and others give other food. I can start hand feeding them some yummy stuff to bribe them..lol

As long as you provide grit, you can start feeding the less usual stuff now. If you buy grit at the store, note that chick grit is not chicken grit--it's a completely different size.

No idea on the dill or the cilantro. I've never tried feeding either.

What can I use as grit for them now?

Welcome! There's chick grit available at the feed store. Buy a small bag. They should be eating their chick starter or all-flock feed mostly, with limited treats.
