When can my 3 month olds have more varieties of vegetables and human snacks?

I was wondering when my 11 week old chicks can have a wider range of vegetables, egg, shells, human snacks, etc.

It is safe to introduce a wider variety of snacks now. Just make sure they are fed in moderation.

I believe the general BYC guideline is no more than 1TB per bird per day of any treats, snacks, or supplements. (Other than that, just their regular feed and whatever they catch in your yard)

Your birds sound plenty old enough!

Make sure they have free access to grit before you introduce anything other than chick starter, though. Grit is different from oyster shell. They don't need oyster shell until they start laying. If that's also available separately, they'll help themselves to it when their bodies tell them they need it.

They never need human snacks.
And only need egg shells when they begin laying. All snacks should be less that 10% of their diet.
