What vegetables can baby chicks eat?

[chickenbaby9194]

I want to give my baby chickens (born March 10) some vegetables because I have read that there are a lot of problems with fruits and you can only feed your chickens certain fruits so I am sticking with healthy vegetables. What vegetables are okay for my baby chicks?

Fruits are fine for chickens. Some say don't feed citrus, but others feed it to them. The main thing is don't overdo treats. No more than 10% of their total intake is a good rule of thumb. Have you seen our treats chart?

Oh yes I just looked, thank you! That helps a lot! So veggies and fruits are both considered treats right?

Tomato seeds won't hurt them?
