Hi all,
I have a small flock of 1 EE that is 7 weeks old, and 7 BO's that are 4 weeks old. They have been living in their coop for just over a week now. During the day they have access an outdoor covered run, and at nights are in the coop. Am I ok to start feeding them treats like mealworms, scratch, etc? I had a few articles that treats shouldn't be given to young chickens, but didn't know if it would be different since they are already living outside.
Also - What are some of your favorite treats to give you flock?
Thanks in advance!
