when can chicks eat veggies, herbs and fruits

[Desertguardian]

Just wondering when is the best time to introduce new chicks: veggies, fruits and herbs as a treat? There are mixed answers on google, I've read 1 week, 6 weeks and 12 weeks, so confusing ! Give me an idea when you started to introduce these things to you chicks.
Thanks !

I would wait at least 3 weeks. Chop them up fine, and be sure they have chick grit.

If you want to give them a "treat" right away, you can give them some of their feed as a wetted mash. It's their regular feed, so it's fine to give it to them. My birds (all ages) like this better than their feed dry.

It's the same thing, sillies!

Not to them. Not any more than a cookie dunked in milk is the same as a cookie to you or me.
