What to feed

[Littlebron123]

My chickens are 3 weeks old and I was planning on giving them a treat. What is the first vegetable I should feed to them? Are they too young to have any treats?

I would try tomatoes. My birds love tomatoes, strawberries, blueberries,mealworms, corn on the cob, and occasionally wheat bread. I gave my chickens treats their first week of life and haven't had any problems. It just made them more friendly towards me early on rather than after a few weeks.

You can feed your chicks watermelon at only 3 weeks old.

I think you can feed them whatever you feel comfortable with. If they were with their mother they would be eating whatever she finds to eat and what she eats. Mine have been eating fruit and veggies since their first week of life and no problems. They also foraged with their mother at a day old and they are just fine.

You can treat them with whatever you and they like...including watermelon...at any age...just make sure they have grit
